Global mapping of potential natural vegetation: an assessment of machine learning algorithms for estimating land potential [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Potential natural vegetation (PNV) is the vegetation cover in equilibrium with climate, that would exist at a given location if not impacted by human activities.

High-Mountain Landscape Classification to Analyze Patterns of Land Use and Potential Natural Vegetation

open access: yesLand, 2022
In Georgia’s Lesser Caucasus, extremely species rich wooded grasslands are still used as pastures or meadows. These silvopastoral systems are one of the oldest land-use types in Europe, hosting both light-demanding and shade-tolerant species. However, in

Evaluation of coppice management relics based on coppice stool value variability in the Drahany Highlands

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2022
We assessed the value of coppice stools in connection with selected factors in three different areas of the Drahany Highlands (Czech Republic). The stool value was assessed by evaluating the morphological features.

Natural Flora Is Indiscriminately Hosting High Loads of Generalist Fungal Pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Complex over Forest Niches, Vegetation Strata and Elevation Gradient

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Crop pathogenic fungi may originate from reservoir pools including wild vegetation surrounding fields, and it is thus important to characterize any potential source of pathogens.

A Unifying Concept for Growth Trends of Trees and Forests – The “Potential Natural Forest”

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Changes in the environment will alter the growth rate of trees and forests. Different disciplines assess such growth rates differently, for example, with tree-ring width data, forest inventories or with carbon-flux data from eddy covariance towers.

Plant community variability within potential natural vegetation units: a case study from the Bohemian Karst

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2009
: Based on a map of potential natural vegetation (PNV), actual vegetation was studied in the Mramor locality (106.4 ha). A total of 188 relevés were examined using stratified random sampling. A comparison was made between trends in vegetation variability
