Role of Tree Vegetation and Associated Environmental Factors on the Understory Herb-Layer Composition in a Reforested Area: A Study from “Kulon Progo Community Forestry”

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
We assessed the understory herb-layer species composition in response to tree vegetation and its associated environmental factors in the reforested area of the Kulon Progo Community Forestry, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

A Comparison of Flower and Grass Strips for Augmentation of Beneficial Arthropods in Apple Orchards

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Sowing plants that provide food resources in orchards is a potential habitat management practice for enhancing biological control. Flowering plants (providing pollen and nectar) and grasses (providing alternative prey) can benefit natural enemies in ...

Climate Effects on Vertical Forest Phenology of Fagus sylvatica L., Sensed by Sentinel-2, Time Lapse Camera, and Visual Ground Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Contemporary climate change leads to earlier spring phenological events in Europe. In forests, in which overstory strongly regulates the microclimate beneath, it is not clear if further change equally shifts the timing of leaf unfolding for the over- and

Effect of Land Use History on Biodiversity of Pine Plantations

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The growing replacement of native vegetation by forest plantations is considered a global threat to biodiversity. Significant variation in biotic communities among stands with similar management suggests that previous land use might have an effect on the

A Method for Quantifying Understory Leaf Area Index in a Temperate Forest through Combining Small Footprint Full-Waveform and Point Cloud LiDAR Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Understory vegetation plays an important role in the structure and function of forest ecosystems. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can provide understory information in the form of either point cloud or full-waveform data.

A Single-Tree Processing Framework Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data for Detecting Forest Regeneration

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Direct assessment of forest regeneration from remote sensing data is a previously little-explored problem. This is due to several factors which complicate object detection of small trees in the understory.

Effects of Different Methods on the Comparison between Land Surface and Ground Phenology—A Methodological Case Study from South-Western Germany

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Several methods exist for extracting plant phenological information from time series of satellite data. However, there have been only a few successful attempts to temporarily match satellite observations (Land Surface Phenology or LSP) with ground based ...

Weeds under the canopies of tree species submitted to different planting densities and intercropping Plantas daninhas sob copas de espécies arbóreas submetidas a consórcios e densidades de plantio diferentes

open access: yesPlanta Daninha, 2013
Assessing the growth and floristic composition of species that grow under the canopy of trees is important for weed control (WC). The objective of this study was to assess two experiments (E1 and E2), when the trees were two years and one year of age ...

Bacterial multi-resistance to antibiotics in water from plant cavities (phytotelms) in a deep tropical forest from Costa Rica

open access: yesCuadernos de investigación UNED, 2023
Introduction: The spread of antimicrobial resistance in natural environments continues to be reported throughout the world; nevertheless, there is no study about phytotelms (water in the natural cavities of plants) in the deep understory of tropical ...
