Climate change increases the recurrence of drought events with strong repercussions on grassland ecosystems. While the effects of single drought events on ecosystem structure and functioning are well understood, it is largely unknown whether and how recurrent drought events modify ecosystem responses to subsequent drought.

Soil background effects on UAS and proximal remote sensing‐derived vegetation indices
Abstract Exposed soil, due to low vegetation cover or in open canopy crops, influences scene reflectance derived from remotely sensed data. An experiment was conducted in College Station, TX, to investigate the potential of six unmanned aerial systems (UASs)‐derived and proximally sensed vegetation indices (VIs) in suppressing soil background ...

The dynamics of growing herbaceous plants in the soil contaminated with sodium formiate
Salts are most frequently used for road maintenance in cold seasons in Lithuania. In case the use of salts is mandatory, the proposal is to apply as small amounts as possible following the norms of use.

Tree Stands and Their Productivity Dynamics at the Upper Growing Limit in Khibiny on the Background of Modern Climate Changes [PDF]
Within the ecotone of the upper limit of woody vegetation on the southeastern macroslope of the Khibiny Mountain ridge (Kola Peninsula), the spatial and age structure, as well as features of the phytomass accumulation of spruce–birch stands, were studied.
