Does Ungulate Herbivory Translate into Diversity of Woody Plants? A Long-Term Study in a Montane Forest Ecosystem in Austria

Diversity, 2023
Different species-specific traits of woody plant species, feeding preferences of herbivores together with resulting effects on plant competition are expected to translate into different plant community structures and expressions of biodiversity.

A preliminary proposal for an original classification of garden plants based on the study of their phenological periodicity and their side-runs

Horticultural Science, 2011
A model group of garden plants (shrubs) was used to observe and evaluate phenological periodicity and new ways of its practical use in landscaping. The experiment focused on the aesthetically most impressive phenophases - full bloom and full coloration ...

Shrubs in the Mandelbrot Set Ordering [PDF]

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2003
We introduce shrubs in this paper in order to present a first approach to studying the structure of the Mandelbrot set. Primary, secondary… and N-ary shrubs are analyzed. We have experimentally obtained formulae to calculate the periods of the hyperbolic component representatives of the structural branches, and the preperiods and periods of both the ...
