Mapping Secondary Forest Succession on Abandoned Agricultural Land with LiDAR Point Clouds and Terrestrial Photography

Remote Sensing, 2015
Secondary forest succession on abandoned agricultural land has played a significant role in land cover changes in Europe over the past several decades. However, it is difficult to quantify over large areas.

Variations and influencing factors of soil organic carbon during the tropical forest succession from plantation to secondary and old–growth forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionSoil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation changed with forest succession and hence impacted the SOC storage. However, the variation and underlying mechanisms about SOC during tropical forest succession are not fully understood.MethodsSoil ...

Changes in the Distribution Preference of Soil Microbial Communities During Secondary Succession in a Temperate Mountain Forest

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microbes play a crucial role in a forest ecosystem. However, whether the distribution of bacteria and fungi in different forest succession stages is random or following ecological specialization remains to be further studied.

Functional trait strategies of trees in dry and wet tropical forests are similar but differ in their consequences for succession. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Global plant trait studies have revealed fundamental trade-offs in plant resource economics. We evaluated such trait trade-offs during secondary succession in two species-rich tropical ecosystems that contrast in precipitation: dry deciduous and wet ...

Marks of stochastic determinacy of forest ecosystem autogenous succession in Markov models [PDF]

Компьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2016
This article describes a method to model the course of forest ecosystem succession to the climax state by means of a Markov chain. In contrast to traditional methods of forest succession modelling based on changes of vegetation types, several variants of

Contrasting Hydraulic Efficiency and Photosynthesis Strategy in Differential Successional Stages of a Subtropical Forest in a Karst Region

Plants, 2021
Understanding the successional process from a disturbed forest to a mature forest is essential for species recovery and conservation initiatives. The resource acquisition and drought tolerance of plants can be instructive to predictions of species ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability driven by secondary succession in temperate forests shape soil fungal communities and function

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community and function during temperate forest succession and their potential impact

Variations in the community patterns of soil nematodes at different soil depths across successional stages of subalpine forests

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Nematodes are among the most important faunal groups in soil food webs and serve as important bioindicators in evaluating subsurface ecological processes and ecosystem functioning.

MAPPING SECONDARY FOREST SUCCESSION ON ABANDONED AGRICULTURAL LAND IN THE POLISH CARPATHIANS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Land abandonment and secondary forest succession have played a significant role in land cover changes and forest cover increase in mountain areas in Europe over the past several decades.
