Combining UAV-imagery and machine learning for wildlife conservation
Semi-arid savannas are endangered by changes in the fragile equilibrium between rainfalls, fires and grazing pressure exerted by wildlife or cattle. To avoid bush encroachment and the decline of perennial grass, land managers must pay attention to keep the ...
2016Herbaceous Angiosperms Are Not More Vulnerable to Drought-Induced Embolism Than Angiosperm Trees
Alexandre Buttler, Hervé Cochard, Constant Signarbieux
The water transport pipeline in herbs is assumed to be more vulnerable to drought than in trees due to the formation of frequent embolisms (gas bubbles), which could be removed by the occurrence of root pressure, especially in grasses. Here, we studied hyd ...
Amer Soc Plant Biologists2016Recent changes in mountain grasslands: a vegetation resampling study
Understanding how land-use changes affect different facets of plant biodiversity in seminatural European grasslands is of particular importance for biodiversity conservation. As conclusions of previous experimental or synchronic observational studies did n ...
2016Impact of management type and intensity on multiple facets of grassland biodiversity in the French Jura Mountains
Questions(1) Does grassland vegetation differ in its taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional alpha diversity between strictly grazed parcels (SGP) and mowed-and-grazed parcels (MGP)? (2) Do we observe differences in the responses of functional diversity (re ...
Wiley-Blackwell2014Utilisation de composés carbonés afin de diminuer la concentration de cadmium dans des végétaux comestibles de Nouvelle-Zélande
Cadmium (Cd) is a non‐essential trace element which is toxic at high concentrations. Cd is added to New Zealand soils through superphosphate fertilizer. The Cd is then absorbed by vegetables and may exceed the limit of 0.1 mg/kg value, thus leading to econ ...
2013Effects of an extended drought period on physiological properties of grassland species in the field
A very high percentage (around 70%) of the agronomic area in Switzerland is covered by grasslands at various altitudes where environmental conditions, management, community structure and productivity vary widely. As heat waves and drought are predicted to ...
Springer Verlag2012How elevated pCO2 modifies total and metabolically active bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of two perennial grasses grown under field conditions
The response of total (DNA-based analysis) and active (RNA-based analysis) bacterial communities to a pCO2 increase under field conditions was assessed using two perennial grasses: the nitrophilic Lolium perenne and the oligonitrophilic Molinia coerulea. P ...
