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 ...
Aim: In this paper, we link historical land use of cultivated parcels formerly slashed and burnt, with current secondary vegetation and soil characteristics, in the region of evergreen rain forest in Madagascar. Aim is to understand the legacy effect of fo ...
We investigate the influence of vegetation on river morphological instabilities using an analytical framework. We first discuss the important role of the hydrological (flooding frequency) and biological (vegetation development rate) timescales. As long as ...
In environments affected by wind erosion, plants act as traps for aeolian sediment, which leads to a small-scale mosaic of depositional and erosional sediment transport regimes. This wind tunnel study used colored sand to visualize spatial patterns of sedi ...
The presentation provided an overview on the main environmental benefits derived from an adequate integration of vegetation in the built environment, especially in terms of microclimate mitigation and indoor thermal comfort. In particular, the main technol ...
Fire is the primary disturbance factor in many terrestrial ecosystems. Wildfire alters vegetation structure and composition, affects carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling, and results in the release of climatically relevant trace gases including CO2, C ...
Spectroscopy methods have been used for decades to obtain information about various materials, ranging from galaxies billions of light years from earth, to Petri dishes containing rich bacteria cultures. From spectrometers in chemical labs to spectral came ...
Aims: Classification of vegetation is an essential tool to describe, understand, predict and manage biodiversity. Given the multiplicity of approaches to classify vegetation, it is important to develop international consensus around a set of general guidel ...
Katabatic flows over alpine mountainous terrain differ from their forested or bare slope counterparts due to the presence of well-ventilated, short vegetation. The impact of a grass canopy and larger-scale pressure perturbations on the one-dimensional mean ...
The increasing pressure of climatic change and anthropogenic activities is predicted to have major effects on ecosystems around the world. With their fragility and sensitivity to hydrologic shifts and land-use changes, wetlands are among the most vulnerabl ...
