The degradation of 2,4-D in forest litter

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1967
These studies have shown that 2,4-D is rapidly degraded in forest litter and that the rate of degradation varies with the type of litter, herbicide formulation and the presence of DDT. The degradation of 2,4-D varies slightly in litter from different vegetation types when incubated under similar environmental conditions.

Sensor capabilities for deforestation and forest degradation

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
The FCT Task focuses on demonstrating through coordinated Earth Observations data acquisitions and the development of standardised processing and analytical techniques by researchers in different countries under what are called 'National Demonstrator' programs that remotely sensed products can provide the information needed for national forest ...

Forest and environmental degradation

1998
Recurrent concern has been expressed over recent decades regarding tropical deforestation. Concern has focused on the unsustainable nature of many of the agronomic systems that have been established on cleared forest land and on the broader biophysical feedbacks that are associated with the loss of forest cover; the latter include climatic and ...

Diseases emerge when forests degrade

Science, 2016
Infectious Disease Why emerging infectious diseases originate in tropical habitats remains a mystery, but habitat degradation may play a role. Mycobacterium ulcerans causes the tropical skin disease Buruli ulcer. Morris et al. looked for the presence of M.

Deforestation and degradation of forests

1992
Forest cover is of great ecological importance. It protects and stabilizes soils and local climates, improves the soil’s ability to hold water, and in eases the efficiency with which nutrients are cycled between the soil and vegetation. Forests also provide a habitat for people and numerous plant and animal species.

Forest ecosystem degradation and rehabilitation

Ecological Engineering, 1998
Abstract The degradation of forest ecosystems may be attributed to various natural and anthropogenic factors such as climatical extremes, biotic stresses, selection of tree species, harvesting regimes, litter raking, off-site amelioration measures, former land use, air pollutant deposition and soil acidification, as caused by internal and external ...

Are Soils in Degraded Dipterocarp Forest Ecosystems Deteriorated? A Comparison of Imperata Grasslands, Degraded Secondary Forests, and Primary Forests

2000
Many primary forests in the tropical regions of the world have been converted into degraded secondary forests and grasslands of species such asImperata cylindrica.The main destructive agents responsible include illegal logging, slash-and-burn cultivation, extensive cattle grazing and natural forest fires (Fatawi and Mori, Chapter 1, this volume ...
