Aboveground biomass of mongolian larch (Larix sibiricledeb.) forests in the eurasian region [PDF]
We used our database of tree biomass with a number of 433 sample trees of Larix from different ecoregions of Eurasia, involving 61 trees from Mongolia for developing an additive model of biomass tree components.

Beetle assemblage distribution along edge–forest gradient in a managed oak forest
Forest ecotone hosted the highest diversity of trophic groups of beetles. Xylophagous, saproxylophagous and pollenophagous beetles exhibited positive association with the shelterwood strip system. According to the fourth‐corner analysis, phytophagous beetles were positively associated with the closed forest, whereas phloephagous beetles were positively

Biochar as substitute for organic matter in the composition of substrates for seedlings. [PDF]
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that pyrogenic carbon (biochar) has properties that enable it to replace fresh organic matter (cattle manure) in seedling substrates.

Short‐term vegetation shifts in an alpine grassland under current and simulated climate change
We carried out a field experiment in an alpine grassland where increased temperature and/or reduced precipitation were simulated during summer. We investigated community‐ and species‐level changes in cover over a 5‐year period to assess impacts of current and simulated climate change.

Distribution and use of grasslands in the Czech Republic and biodiversity of invertebrates [PDF]
In the Czech Republic the major focus of organic farming lies in permanent grasslands management. Animal production is mostly focused on non-milk pasture beef-raising on almost the whole farm area. By contrast conventional farms do not grass sufficiently,

Root foraging strategies and niche segregation of three mediterranean shrub species
Shrubs are usually adapted to stressful environments in which soil resources are limited, and thus, roots are fundamental for their biological success. However, root measures are challenging to collect, especially in field conditions and at the individual level.

INTRODUCTIVE RESOURCES OF MEDICAGO AND PERSPECTIVES OF THEIR APPLICATION IN MOUNTAINOUS CONDITIONS
As a result of introductive tests of perennial Medicago species, interspecific differences in a set of traits were revealed. It was found that with the increase of the height above sea level the number of shoots on individual plant increases, while ...

Effects of Ponderosa Pine Ecological Restoration on Forest Soils and Understory Vegetation in Northern Arizona [PDF]
The human exclusion of wildfire and overgrazing by livestock since settlement have caused dramatic changes in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl ex Laws) forest ecosystems.
