Abstract:

We studied plant biodiversity (trees, shrubs and herbs) in two kinds of forests, natural and coffee agro forests and comparing diversity of plant species between them. The natural forest contained 63 plant species in total, of which 44 were trees, 5 were shrubs, and 14 were herbs. The planted forest, on the other hand, contained 42 species of flora, including 35 trees, 1 shrub, and 6 herbs. In the natural forest, the ShannonWiener diversity indices for trees, shrubs, and herbs were 3.26, 1.53, and 2.57, respectively. In the coffee agro forest, it was 2.91 for tree species, 0.00 for shrub speci

Abstract:

While both chronic white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann) overbrowsing and invasive shrubs have been linked to native regeneration failure in temperate hardwood forests, little is known of their relative importance and possible synergistic effects. Therefore, we established three study areas in Connecticut to examine the interaction of three levels of invasive shrub control and absence or presence of deer herbivory on forest regeneration over 9 years. Five observations suggest that obtaining forest regeneration requires a comprehensive management strategy. First, competitive int

Abstract:

Partial disturbances enhance spatial heterogeneity through the diversification of forest structure, which contributes to niche partitioning and consequently to species diversity. However, this heterogeneity–diversity relationship may differ between groups of species, and is potentially modified by biotic interactions at the community level. We propose that shrub diversity will be greater in heterogeneous landscapes, while tree diversity will be lower in those same landscapes, due to the biotic interactions of shrub competition.

In this study, the mapping of shrub forests dominated by green alder, mountain pine and hazel for the canton of Grison was investigated, based on available nationwide remote sensing data. Satellite data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, as well as a vegetation height and an elevation model were used. Training areas pr

Abstract:

Studying the early changes in post-fire vegetation communities may improve the overall resilience of forests. The necessity for doing so was demonstrated by the Bobcat Fire, which seriously threatened the central San Gabriel Mountains and the Angeles National Forest in California. This study aimed to monitor and quantify the effects of climatological and topographic conditions along with burn severity on early (within 1 year) post-fire forests and shrubs community regeneration. In this study, we used Sentinel-2(MSI) intensive time-series imagery (July 2020–October 2021) to make a confusion mat

Evidence is accumulating that the radial growth of high-elevation Rhododendron shrubs has high dendrochronological potential. However, it remains unclear if the growth responses of alpine Rhododendron shrubs to climate are contingent on site conditions. Herein, the climate–growth relationships of alpine Rhododendron przewalskii Maxim. shrubs were investigated at two sites (NQ, LWQ) at an elevation of 4300 m on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. We collected ring-width data from 53 Rhododendron shrubs. Well-replicated 111-year-old and 51-year-old long shrub ring-width chronologies were built for NQ a

In terms of the process of air purification, a lot of attention has been devoted to trees and shrubs. Little attention has been paid to herbaceous vegetation from the lower forest layers. Urban forests are often located on the outskirts of cities and surround exit roads where there is heavy traffic, generating particulate matter (PM) pollution. The aim of this study was to investigate the spread of PM from the road traffic in the air and to investigate how individual layers of urban forests accumulate PM. We conducted comparative analyses of PM accumulation on plants in five zones away from th

Increased density and abundance of woody vegetation along forest edges may strengthen biotic resistance to invasion by creating a vegetative barrier to dispersal, growth, or establishment of cogongrass. We evaluated differences in dispersal of cogongrass spikelets experimentally released from road edges into tallgrass-dominated and shrub-encroached longleaf pine forests (Pinus palustris). Average maximum dispersal distances were greater in the pine–tallgrass forest (17.3 m) compared to the pine–shrub forest
