Vegetation Dynamics in Ecuador [PDF]

, 2019
Global forest cover has suffered a dramatic reduction during recent decades, especially in tropical regions, which is mainly due to human activities caused by enhanced population pressures. Nevertheless, forest ecosystems, especially tropical forests, play an important role in the carbon cycle functioning as carbon stocks and sinks, which is why ...

The importance of interactions between snow, permafrost and vegetation dynamics in affecting terrestrial carbon balance in circumpolar regions

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Permafrost dynamics can drastically affect vegetation and soil carbon dynamics in northern high latitudes. Vegetation has significant influences on the energy balance of soil surface by impacting the short-wave radiation, long-wave radiation and surface ...

Vegetation dynamics and dynamic vegetation science* [PDF]

Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1996
his contribution presents a review of the development of the study of vegetation dynamics since 1979, in the framework of a jubilee meeting on progress in the study of vegetation. However, an exhaustive review is both impossible and unnecessary.

Steep topography buffers threatened gymnosperm species against anthropogenic pressures in China

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
China is one of the most species‐rich countries in the world, harboring many rare gymnosperms. Following recent human‐led loss of forests, China is now experiencing increases in forest cover resulting from efforts of reforestation schemes.

Climate Variations vs. Human Activities: Distinguishing the Relative Roles on Vegetation Dynamics in the Three Karst Provinces of Southwest China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Vegetation in karst areas is crucial for maintaining fragile local ecosystems, driven by climate change and human activities. Southwest China contains the largest continuous karst zone in the world and its vegetation dynamics are more sensitive to ...

Assessing 20th century climate-vegetation feedbacks of land-use change and natural vegetation dynamics in a fully coupled vegetation-climate model [PDF]

, 2010
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

A non-linear Granger-causality framework to investigate climate-vegetation dynamics [PDF]

, 2017
Satellite Earth observation has led to the creation of global climate data records of many important environmental and climatic variables. These come in the form of multivariate time series with different spatial and temporal resolutions.

The trend shift caused by ecological restoration accelerates the vegetation greening of China’s drylands since the 1980s

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Satellite observations since the early 1980s have revealed a trend of ‘Earth greening’ across global terrestrial ecosystems. Dryland vegetation is more sensitive to climate change and human activities.

Regional Patterns of Vegetation Dynamics and Their Sensitivity to Climate Variability in the Yangtze River Basin

Remote Sensing, 2022
To better understand the mechanisms of the hydro-ecological cycle in the changing environments of the Yangtze River Basin (YZRB), it is valuable to investigate vegetation dynamics and their response to climate change.

Spatial heterogeneity and irreversible vegetation change in semi-arid grazing systems [PDF]

, 2002
Recent theoretical studies have shown that spatial redistribution of surface water may explain the occurrence of patterns of alternating vegetated and degraded patches in semiarid grasslands.
