Modelled sensitivity of the snow regime to topography, shrub fraction and shrub height [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Abstract. Recent studies show that shrubs are colonizing higher latitudes and altitudes in the Arctic. Shrubs affect the wind transport, accumulation and melt of snow, but there have been few sensitivity studies of how shrub expansion might affect snowmelt rates and timing.

Critical properties of bipartite permutation graphs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The class of bipartite permutation graphs enjoys many nice and important properties. In particular, this class is critically important in the study of clique- and rank-width of graphs, because it is one of the minimal hereditary classes of graphs of unbounded clique- and rank-width.

Shrub tundra snowmelt

open access: yesHydrological Processes, 2006
AbstractObservations of land surface and snowpack energetics and mass fluxes were made over arctic shrub tundra of varying canopy height and density using radiometers, eddy covariance flux measurements, and snow mass changes from snow surveys of depth and density.

Shrub coverage alters the rumen bacterial community of yaks (Bos grunniens) grazing in alpine meadows

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science and Technology, 2020
Proliferation of shrubs at the expense of native forage in pastures has been associated with large changes in dry-matter intake and dietary components for grazing ruminants.

Pruning Landscape Trees and Shrubs

open access: yesEDIS, 2019
The objective of this document is to present pruning techniques for Florida trees, shrubs and palms. The need for pruning, timing, types of pruning, tree pruning, shrub pruning and tools are discussed separately. Specific examples will support the pruning concepts.

Reproductive system and interaction with fauna in a Mediterranean Pyrophite shrub [PDF]

open access: yes
The ULEX model, in its present state, involves the study of the biomass and the population of the shrub Ulex parviflorus Pourret, but while being a dynamic model, it is static in the sense that it does not imply the appearance of new specimens of this plant.

Stochastic Desertification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The process of desertification is usually modeled as a first order transition, where a change of an external parameter (e.g. precipitation) leads to a catastrophic bifurcation followed by an ecological regime shift. However, vegetation elements like shrubs and trees undergo a stochastic birth-death process with an absorbing state; such a process ...

Water track distribution and effects on carbon dioxide flux in an eastern Siberian upland tundra landscape

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
Shrub expansion in tundra ecosystems may act as a positive feedback to climate warming, the strength of which depends on its spatial extent. Recent studies have shown that shrub expansion is more likely to occur in areas with high soil moisture and ...
