Assessing spatial variability of soil macro fauna and tree canopy using fractal theory (Case study: Riparian Forest of Maroon River) [PDF]

جغرافیا و پایداری محیط, 2016
1-Introduction Sustainability and maintenance of riparian vegetation or restoring of degraded sites is critical to sustain inherent ecosystem function and values. There is an increasing recognition of fundamental role of space in population.

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Can Hybrid Organisations Solve the Paradox of the Triple Bottom Line, and Does It Need Solving?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how B Corp certification enables hybrid organisations to integrate competing institutional logics of market and social purpose. Through a two‐stage qualitative design combining cross‐sector interviews with B Corps and an in‐depth case study, with a total of 30 participants, we analyse how certification supports hybrid ...

Canopy Management to Improve Grape Yield and Wine Quality - Principles and Practices

, 2017
This paper reviews the subject of canopy management with an attempt to develop principles. These principles provide guidelines for canopy surface area amount; spacing between canopies; within canopy shade, especially for the fruiting/ renewal zone ...

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Response of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) to bacterial soil inoculants and foliar fertilization

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2016
Soybean yields can be considerably improved by inoculation with selected Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and foliar fertilization. An exact field experiment was carried out in 2012-2014 at the Experimental Station of Cultivar Assessment in Przecław ...
