Effects of land use changes on soil organic carbon, nitrogen and their losses in a typical watershed of the Loess Plateau, China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The “Grain for Green” programme has had a significant impact on land use change and carbon and nitrogen balance. However, it is unlear how vegetation restoration affects soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen (N) and their losses based on the grid measured ...

The map of potential natural vegetation as a basis for comparative studies and geobotanical regionalization

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
A method of typology and regionalization of landscape units of vegetation on the basis of a map of potential natural vegetation is presented. Particular attention has been paid to the methodical basis of the conducted division.

Detecting the impact of the “Grain for Green” program on land use/land cover and hydrological regimes in a watershed of the Chinese Loess Plateau over the next 30 years

Ecological Indicators, 2023
To increase vegetation coverage and improve ecosystem services, the government has promulgated and implemented the “Grain for Green” policy since 1999. How and where vegetation cover increases and how land use/land cover (LULC) changes determine regional

Development of species composition in long term simulations with an individual-tree growth simulator

Journal of Forest Science, 2009
The spruce-fir-beech dominated forest stands in Litschau in the Austrian part of the Bohemian Massif were converted by former forest management practices into pure Norway spruce stands and are now discussed to be reconverted into the potential natural ...

Plant diversity drives soil carbon sequestration: evidence from 150 years of vegetation restoration in the temperate zone

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Large-scale afforestation is considered a natural way to address climate challenges (e.g., the greenhouse effect). However, there is a paucity of evidence linking plant diversity to soil carbon sequestration pathways during long-term natural restoration ...

Influence of forest vegetation restoration on carbon increment after mining

Scientific Reports, 2023
We have clarified the study area has a history of 65 years and has been restored for 6 years. This study investigated the carbon storage characteristics of undisturbed natural forests and restored mining vegetation in Yunnan Province, China. The goal was

Differences of fire activity and their underlying factors among vegetation formations in Greece

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
Climate and weather play an important role in shaping fire activity patterns by controlling fuel productivity and fire spread, respectively. Additionally, climate is a key factor controlling primary productivity while different climate zones are expected

The survival of the ‘natural potential vegetation’ concept (or the power of tradition) [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2009
Este estudio se suma a un creciente corpus de trabajos que cuestionan el enfoque florístico-fitosociológico de la ciencia tradicional de la vegetación. La palinología es muy adecuada para rastrear las historias de la vegetación y, combinada con indicadores arqueológicos y sedimentarios, para permitir la reconstrucción de los cambios de paisajes ...
