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,

Soil Seed Bank Characteristics of Nitraria tangutorum Nebkhas in a Desert–Oasis Ecotone

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Understanding soil seed banks (SSBs) of Nitrariatangutorum nebkhas is critical for vegetation restoration and ecological management in desert–oasis ecotones.

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

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.

Field Simulation of Global Change: Transplanting Northern Bog Mesocosms Southward [PDF]

, 2010
A large proportion of northern peatlands consists of Sphagnum-dominated ombrotrophic bogs. In these bogs, peat mosses (Sphagnum) and vascular plants occur in an apparent stable equilibrium, thereby sustaining the carbon sink function of the bog ecosystem.

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 ...

Identification of biologically relevant compounds in aboveground and belowground induced volatile blends [PDF]

, 2010
Plants under attack by aboveground herbivores emit complex blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Specific compounds in these blends are used by parasitic wasps to find their hosts.

Valorization aboveground of the extract of compost ovine for fertigation of the vegetables plants in Tunisia

Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2015
The main objective of this study was to highlight the fertilizing capacity of the extract of ovine compost (prepared to the simple infusion) in gardening nursery, while specifying the appropriate ratios of extraction and dilution ,for soilless plant fertigation intended for two strategic summer crops in Tunisia: seasonal tomato and seasonal pepper.
