Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation in Alpine Meadows
Herbivory is one of the important factors that influence spatial heterogeneity of vegetation in grasslands. In this study, we focused on plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to investigate the effects of the presence of small semi-fossorial herbivores and ...

Multi-cyclone analysis and machine learning model implications of cyclone effects on forests
Past studies of cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical cyclones) disturbance showed that meteorological, topographical, and biological factors affect the patterns of forest disturbance intensity but left open the extent to which these findings were ...

Effect of ground slope on extent and intensity of soil disturbance from skidder logging (Case study: Nav-e Asalem forest, Gilan province) [PDF]
Protection of forest soil is one of key factors in having sustainable productive forests. In this research extent and intensity of soil disturbance due to extraction of logs of felled trees (20.5 m3/ha) were studied in Nav-e Asalem forest in Gilan ...

Intensification of disturbance destabilizes productivity through effects on dominant species
Disturbances, including anthropogenic disturbances, are integral to the maintenance of grassland ecosystems. Most research on anthropogenic disturbances focuses on the effects of intensification, yet cessation of disturbance can have equally important ...

A nonlinear disturbance observer for robotic manipulators [PDF]
A new nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robotic manipulators is derived in this paper. The global exponential stability of the proposed disturbance observer (DO) is guaranteed by selecting design parameters, which depend on the maximum velocity ...
