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 ...

Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water,

Vegetation Re-development After Fen Meadow Restoration by Topsoil Removal and Hay Transfer [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the effects of different restoration treatments on the development of fen meadow communities: (1) depth of topsoil removal, with shallow (circa 20 cm) and deep (circa 40 cm) soil removal applied, (2) transfer of seed-containing hay, and ...

Vegetation structure and aboveground biomass of Páramo peatlands along a high-elevation gradient in the northern Ecuadorian Andes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The high-elevation peatlands of the páramos of the northern Andes constitute a diverse environment that harbors large numbers of species and several types of plant communities along altitudinal, latitudinal, and environmental gradients.

Estimating aboveground live understory vegetation carbon in the United States

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Despite the key role that understory vegetation plays in ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon cycle, it is often overlooked and has few quantitative measurements, especially at national scales. To understand the contribution of understory carbon to the United States (US) carbon budget, we developed an approach that relies on field measurements of ...

Effects of 10-year management regimes on the soil seed bank in saline-alkaline grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundManagement regimes for vegetation restoration of degraded grasslands can significantly affect the process of ecological succession. However, few studies have focused on variation in the soil seed bank during vegetation restoration under ...

A study of soil seed banks across one complete chronosequence of secondary succession in a karst landscape [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Anthropogenic disturbance and distinctive geochemistry have resulted in rocky desertification in many karst regions of the world. Seed banks are crucial to vegetation regeneration in degraded karst ecosystems characterized by a discontinuous distribution

Estimating Bermudagrass Aboveground Biomass Using Stereovision and Vegetation Coverage

Remote Sensing
Accurate information about the amount of standing biomass is important in pasture management for monitoring forage growth patterns, minimizing the risk of overgrazing, and ensuring the necessary feed requirements of livestock. The morphological features of plants, like crop height and density, have been proven to be prominent predictors of crop yield ...

Influence of grazing exclosure on vegetation biomass and soil quality

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2017
This study investigated the influence of sixteen years exclosure from unmanaged grazing on aboveground vegetation biomass, soil organic matter (SOM), soil aggregation and nitrogen (N) mineralization in arid shrubland of Baluchistan, Pakistan.
