Haies et boisements pare-congères : de la théorie à la pratique Hedges and afforestration to prevent damage from blowing snow: from theory to practice [PDF]
Lorsque la neige et le vent s'associent, ils créent des congères qui vont gêner la circulation sur les routes et les chemins de montagne. Pour lutter contre ce problème, l'implantation de haies et de boisements apparait comme une solution écologique et ...

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Seasonal effects of farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusions on bird communities in Burkina Faso
Abstract Anthropogenic activities such as livestock grazing and deforestation are primary causes of land degradation in drylands such as the Sahel Zone of Africa, threatening the livelihoods of rural communities and biodiversity. To restore degraded habitats, measures such as farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusion, where the native vegetation is ...

This study tests how nutrient availability and spatial distribution influence root nutrient acquisition strategies of Vaccinium myrtillus in temperate forests. Greater nutrient availability was associated with shorter, thicker and denser roots, whereas patchy nutrient distribution only increased variability in root phosphatase activity.

Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...
