Studying the Influence of Nitrogen Deposition, Precipitation, Temperature, and Sunshine in Remotely Sensed Gross Primary Production Response in Switzerland

Remote Sensing, 2019
Climate, soil type, and management practices have been reported as primary limiting factors of gross primary production (GPP). However, the extent to which these factors predict GPP response varies according to scales and land cover classes. Nitrogen (N)

Differential effects of topography on the timing of the growing season in mountainous grassland ecosystems

Environmental Advances, 2022
Grasslands in mountainous areas often show distinct responses in the timing of their growing season in relation to topographical variation. However, it is unclear which factors of topography (elevation, aspect, and slope) affect which phases of the ...

Vegetation Characteristics of the Main Grassland Types in China Respond Differently to the Duration of Enclosure: A Meta-Analysis

Agronomy, 2023
Enclosure is one of the useful measures to protect and restore degraded grasslands, and it is widely used around the world. The vegetation characteristics of grasslands directly reflect the recovery status of degraded grasslands; however, conflicting ...

SIVIM Alpine – Database of high-mountain grasslands in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

Vegetation Classification and Survey, 2020
SIVIM Alpine (GIVD ID: EU-00-034) is a thematic database focused on vegetation plots from alpine grasslands of the Iberian Peninsula. The main aim of the database is to centralize historical and new vegetation plots of grassland-like communities above the treeline from Spanish mountains, the Pyrenees (including France and Andorra) and Serra da Estrela (
