Soil organic and phytomass carbon stocks in mountain periglacial settings of Vindelfjällen (Sweden)
We present a detailed soil organic carbon (SOC) and phytomass carbon (C) inventory for a mountain periglacial region in northwest Sweden (altitude range c. 600–1,800 m). We describe plant cover and soil profiles at thirty-nine sites representing the main

Ecology of bryophytes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in New Zealand [PDF]
Six altitudinal transects through temperate rain forests were studied at different latitudes in the South and North Island of New Zealand with respect to species numbers of bryophytes, cover and phytomass of epiphytic bryophytes, composition of life ...

Using low‐nutrient substrates to cap and bury the weed seed bank, irrigation and direct seeding, we demonstrate it is possible to return plants from threatened grassy ecosystems to urban sites, creating a dense and species‐rich native understorey within 1 year whilst reducing labour requirements during meadow establishment.

Distribution and use of grasslands in the Czech Republic and biodiversity of invertebrates [PDF]
In the Czech Republic the major focus of organic farming lies in permanent grasslands management. Animal production is mostly focused on non-milk pasture beef-raising on almost the whole farm area. By contrast conventional farms do not grass sufficiently,

Beetle assemblage distribution along edge–forest gradient in a managed oak forest
Forest ecotone hosted the highest diversity of trophic groups of beetles. Xylophagous, saproxylophagous and pollenophagous beetles exhibited positive association with the shelterwood strip system. According to the fourth‐corner analysis, phytophagous beetles were positively associated with the closed forest, whereas phloephagous beetles were positively

Aboveground biomass of mongolian larch (Larix sibiricledeb.) forests in the eurasian region [PDF]
We used our database of tree biomass with a number of 433 sample trees of Larix from different ecoregions of Eurasia, involving 61 trees from Mongolia for developing an additive model of biomass tree components.

Short‐term vegetation shifts in an alpine grassland under current and simulated climate change
We carried out a field experiment in an alpine grassland where increased temperature and/or reduced precipitation were simulated during summer. We investigated community‐ and species‐level changes in cover over a 5‐year period to assess impacts of current and simulated climate change.

The influence of road maintenance substances on the growth of graminaceous plants
The article describes the experimental research on the effect of road maintenance materials on three species of graminaceous plants. The experiment was carried out using technical granular sodium chloride (NaCl) treated with potassium hexacyanoferrate ...

Structure and Dynamics of Tree Stands at the Upper Timberline in the Western Part of the Putorana Plateau [PDF]
Analysis of the age structure of Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) forests in the western part of the Putorana Plateau (Sukhie Gory Range) and comparison of diachronous topographic maps and satellite images have revealed changes in the altitudinal ...
