Deer browsing delays succession by altering aboveground vegetation and belowground seed banks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Soil seed bank composition is important to the recovery of natural and semi-natural areas from disturbance and serves as a safeguard against environmental catastrophe.

Dynamic Changes of Aboveground Biomass of Vegetation in Qaidam Basin

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract In order to monitor the temporal and spatial dynamics of vegetation in the Qaidam Basin, the ground-based vegetation biomass model of the basin was established by using basin ground measurements data during 2016-2018 and NDVI of MOD13Q1: Y=0.0002X2-0.863X+2052.4(R2=0.7656, P<0.01), and using this model to estimate the long ...

Interactions between herbivory and warming in aboveground biomass production of arctic vegetation [PDF]

BMC Ecology, 2008
Many studies investigating the ecosystem effects of global climate change have focused on arctic ecosystems because the Arctic is expected to undergo the earliest and most pronounced changes in response to increasing global temperatures, and arctic ecosystems are considerably limited by low temperatures and permafrost. In these nutrient limited systems,

Aboveground Biomass Mapping of Crops Supported by Improved CASA Model and Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2021
The net primary productivity (NPP) and aboveground biomass mapping of crops based on remote sensing technology are not only conducive to understanding the growth and development of crops but can also be used to monitor timely agricultural information ...

Short-term experimental flooding impacts soil biogeochemistry but not aboveground vegetation in a coastal forest. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Rising sea levels and intensifying storms increase flooding pressure on coastal forests, triggering tree mortality, ecosystem transitions, and changes to the coastal carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that drive coastal forest mortality remain elusive due to the complex interplay between belowground and aboveground processes during flooding ...

Effects of land use planning on aboveground vegetation biomass in China [PDF]

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2014
Dramatic land use change is expected to take place in China in the coming decades, which will exert great impact on the vegetation biomass. The paper assesses how land use change will influence the size and spatial distribution of the vegetation biomass in China. A spatially explicit land use change model, Dyna-CLUE, is employed together with a biomass

Scale-Dependent Influences of Distance and Vegetation on the Composition of Aboveground and Belowground Tropical Fungal Communities [PDF]

Microbial Ecology, 2020
Abstract Fungi provide essential ecosystem services and engage in a variety of symbiotic relationships with trees. In this study, we investigate the spatial relationship of trees and fungi at a community level. We characterized the spatial dynamics for above- and belowground fungi using a series of forest monitoring ...

Aboveground biomass and carbon stock of the riparian vegetation in the Danube Delta

, 2023
Intact wetlands can act as carbon sinks and mitigate increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere following climate change. In addition to organic soils, the riparian vegetation plays an important role in carbon storage and cycling within wetlands.

Aboveground Biomass of Wetland Vegetation Under Climate Change in the Western Songnen Plain

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for investigating the wetland ecosystem carbon cycle. In this paper, we explored the spatiotemporal change of aboveground biomass and its response to climate change in a marsh wetland of western Songen Plain by using field measured AGB data and vegetation index derived ...

Phosphorus Fertilization Increases Biomass and Nutrient Accumulation Under Improved Fallow Management in a Slash-and-Mulch System in Eastern Amazonia, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2017
Improvement of fallow vegetation can have a positive impact on the productivity of slash-and-mulch systems in eastern Amazonia. Phosphorus fertilization can increase biomass and nutrient stocks in the fallow phase, thereby improving nutrient cycling and ...
