The Scottish borders fens : controls on vegetation development and composition. [PDF]
The Scottish Borders fens represent an important group of British fen sites. Despite their small size many of these fens support various rare plant communities and nationally and locally rare plant species as well as a wide range of species ...

The role of vegetation science in the conservation of cultural landscapes [PDF]
Cultural landscapes are defined as the results of the combined action of nature and humans on the territory. Millennia of human presence on most of the Earth resulted in the current existence of many different cultural landscapes, shaped by different ...

Wave dissipation by flexible vegetation [PDF]
Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical model that accounts for bending of vegetation by wave motions.

Land cover classification using multi-temporal MERIS vegetation indices [PDF]
The spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions of Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data are attractive for regional- to global-scale land cover mapping.

Assessing 20th century climate-vegetation feedbacks of land-use change and natural vegetation dynamics in a fully coupled vegetation-climate model [PDF]
This study describes the coupling of the dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM), Lund–Potsdam–Jena Model for managed land (LPJmL), with the general circulation model (GCM), Simplified Parameterizations primitivE Equation DYnamics model (SPEEDY), to study
