The Scottish borders fens : controls on vegetation development and composition. [PDF]

, 1997
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 ...

Modelling Interactions between Climate and Global Vegetation in response to Climate Change [PDF]

, 1997
Climate change associated with increasing concentrations of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide(CO2), is expected to lead to an increase in global mean temperature of between 1 and 3.5 deg C by the end of the 21st century, with regional changes in ...

Potential shifts in the aboveground biomass and physiognomy of a seasonally dry tropical forest in a changing climate

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) account for one-third of the interannual variability of global net primary productive (NPP). Large-scale shifts in dry tropical forest structure may thus significantly affect global CO _2 fluxes in ways that are ...

Camera trap data suggest uneven predation risk across vegetation types in a mixed farmland landscape

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ground‐nesting farmland birds such as the grey partridge (Perdix perdix) have been rapidly declining due to a combination of habitat loss, food shortage, and predation.

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

Criteria Comparison for Classifying Peatland Vegetation Types Using In Situ Hyperspectral Measurements

Remote Sensing, 2017
This study aims to evaluate three classes of methods to discriminate between 13 peatland vegetation types using reflectance data. These vegetation types were empirically defined according to their composition, strata and biodiversity richness.
