Estimating vegetation cover from high-resolution satellite data to assess grassland degradation in the Georgian Caucasus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Revealed a Comprehensive Understanding of the Biochemical and Genetic Mechanisms Underlying the Color Variations in Chrysanthemums

open access: yesMetabolites, 2023
Flower color is an important characteristic of ornamental plants and is determined by various chemical components, including anthocyanin. In the present study, combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis was used to explore color variations in the

Roles of the riparian vegetation: the antagonism between flooding risk and the protection of environments

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Since the beginning of the 20th century, man has domesticated his environment and caused the modification of hydraulic conditions during floods. In parallel, civil engineering has strongly progressed in the domain of hydraulic structures but especially ...

Assessing the contribution of vegetation to slope stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
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

open access: yesİstanbul Üniversitesi Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2016
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

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species and abundance exhibit different effects on saline-alkaline tolerance in Leymus chinensis

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2020
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was considered as a biotechnological tool for plant stress tolerance improvement and degraded ecosystem restoration. However, the variations in the effects of AMF species and abundance on plant performance under stress ...

Vegetation Mapping [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1921
The value of accurate maps of native vegetation as a basis for very practical generalizations can not be questioned. It is obvious that an essential condition for getting accurate maps of large areas is the existence of precise maps of smaller component ones.
