Estimating vegetation cover from high-resolution satellite data to assess grassland degradation in the Georgian Caucasus [PDF]
In the Georgian Caucasus, unregulated grazing has damaged grassland vegetation cover and caused erosion. Methods for monitoring and control of affected territories are urgently needed.

A morphometric analysis of vegetation patterns in dryland ecosystems [PDF]
Vegetation in dryland ecosystems often forms remarkable spatial patterns. These range from regular bands of vegetation alternating with bare ground, to vegetated spots and labyrinths, to regular gaps of bare ground within an otherwise continuous expanse ...

Assessing the contribution of vegetation to slope stability [PDF]
Many embankments and cuttings associated with the transportation infrastructure in the UK are only marginally stable. Engineering techniques such as soil nailing, geosynthetic reinforcement, improved drainage and ground improvement by stabilisation are ...

Change of land use in the Turkish Taurus Mountains
The effects of land use changes on forests and agricultural areas in the central Taurus Mountains of Turkey have been studied. In this region a progressive conversion of extensive grazing was observed towards more intensively farmed arable land in recent
