Investigation on litter invertebrates diversity at natural forests and reforestations of hardwood and softwood in Mazandaran(Case study: Darabkola) [PDF]
تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2012 The most important role of the litter invertebrates is leaf litter decomposition and helping of nutrient elements cycling. The objective of this study was to evaluate litter invertebrates dversity within 20 years old plantations of alder (Alnus ...

Niche partitioning and the storage effect facilitate coexistence in an amphibian community
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Virtually all natural community assemblages are dominated by a handful of common species. Dominant species can exert negative impacts on biodiversity through competitive exclusion, and thus there is a strong incentive to understand imbalances in ...

Species Diversity Induces Idiosyncratic Effects on Litter Decomposition in a Degraded Meadow Steppe
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Litter decomposition is a fundamental path for nutrient cycling in a natural ecosystem. However, it remains unclear how species diversity, including richness and evenness, affects the decomposition dynamics in the context of grassland degradation.

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization With Data-Guided Constraints For Hyperspectral Unmixing
Remote Sensing, 2017 Hyperspectral unmixing aims to estimate a set of endmembers and corresponding abundances in pixels. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and its extensions with various constraints have been widely applied to hyperspectral unmixing.

Linkages between Phosphorus and Plant Diversity in Central European Forest Ecosystems—Complementarity or Competition? [PDF]
, 2019 The phosphorus nutrition status of European forests has decreased significantly in recent decades. For a deeper understanding of complementarity and competition in terms of P acquisition in temperate forests, we have analyzed α-diversity, organic layer ...

Which environmental factors most strongly influence a street's appeal for bicycle transport among adults? : a conjoint study using manipulated photographs [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Micro-environmental factors (specific features within a streetscape), instead of macro-environmental factors (urban planning features), are more feasible to modify in existing neighborhoods and thus more practical to target for environmental ...
