Facilitating Salt Marsh Restoration: The Importance of Event-Based Bed Level Dynamics and Seasonal Trends in Bed Level Change

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Intertidal salt marshes provide a range of valuable ecosystem services which typically increase with marsh width. Understanding the drivers for salt marsh expansion versus retreat is thus key to managers.

Implications of the steady-state assumption for the global vegetation carbon turnover

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Vegetation carbon turnover time ( τ ) is a central ecosystem property to quantify the global vegetation carbon dynamics. However, our understanding of vegetation dynamics is hampered by the lack of long-term observations of the changes in vegetation ...

Importance of land use and rainfall in the dynamics of the Caatinga vegetation cover in Northeastern Brazil

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2023
Many factors, such as climate, land use, and cultural and social aspects, influence the vegetation cover dynamics. We aimed to analyze the vegetation cover dynamics in three municipalities of the Brazilian semi-arid region (Aroeiras, Boqueirão, and ...

Analysis of Vegetation Behavior in a North African Semi-Arid Region, Using SPOT-VEGETATION NDVI Data

Remote Sensing, 2011
The analysis of vegetation dynamics is essential in semi-arid regions, in particular because of the frequent occurrence of long periods of drought. In this paper, multi-temporal series of the Normalized Difference of Vegetation Index (NDVI), derived from

Analysis of Effects of Recent Changes in Hydrothermal Conditions on Vegetation in Central Asia

Land, 2022
Understanding the relationship of hydrothermal conditions to vegetation changes is conducive to revealing the feedback mechanism connecting climate variations and vegetation.

Arrested Succession on Fire-Affected Slopes in the Krummholz Zone and Subalpine Forest of the Northern Limestone Alps

Diversity
Fire in the Northern Alps is comparatively rare. Yet, previous human-ignited fire events in subalpine forests up to the treeline have triggered severe fire damage to vegetation and soil.

Vegetation Dynamics and Associated Driving Forces in Eastern China during 1999–2008

Remote Sensing, 2015
Vegetation is one of the most important components of the terrestrial ecosystem and, thus, monitoring the spatial and temporal dynamics of vegetation has become the key to exploring the basic process of the terrestrial ecosystem.

Synthesis and Perspectives on Disturbance Interactions, and Forest Fire Risk and Fire Severity in Central Europe

Fire
Wildfire risk increases following non-fire disturbance events, but this relationship is not always linear or cumulative, and previous studies are not consistent in differentiating between disturbance loops versus cascades.

Vegetation Dynamics and Their Influencing Factors in China from 1998 to 2019

Remote Sensing, 2022
Vegetation is a critical component of ecosystems that is influenced by climate change and human activities. It is therefore of great importance to investigate trends in vegetation dynamics and explore how these are influenced by climate and human ...

Simultaneous monitoring of vegetation dynamics and wildlife activity with camera traps to assess habitat change

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Vegetation phenology and productivity drive resource use by wildlife. Vegetation dynamics also reveal patterns of habitat disturbance and recovery. Monitoring these fine‐scale vegetation patterns over large spatiotemporal extents can be difficult, but ...
