Thus, in this study, 195 shrinking cities were identified based on demographic datasets to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of urban forests in China against a depopulation background.

Abstract:

The ecologically important below-ground ectomycorrhizal (ECM) biodiversity of tropical humid forests remain poorly known. Most ECM inventories have been based upon description and identification of fruitbodies with few work on ECM root tips of tropical tree species. Morpho-anatomical descriptions of root tips of 24 ECM Fabaceae/Detarioideae, Uapaca tree species, and Gnetum lianas were conducted in humid forest of South Cameroon. ECM forest clumps were the only resort sites for the more than 30 endemic ECM morphotypes, with apparently no host specificity. Distinguished by four colors – white, y

Abstract:

Over the past several decades, vegetation restoration has been carried out extensively in South China. Theoretically, the process of vegetation restoration is usually accompanied by changes in soil properties. However, the effects of vegetation restoration on soil hydraulic properties are poorly documented in humid subtropical China. In this study, we compared soil hydraulic properties across three undisturbed subtropical forests, i.e., Pinus massoniana forest (PF), mixed Pinus massoniana/broad-leaved forest (MF), and monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest (BF), which represented a vegetation r

Abstract:

Pollen analysis of a 2 m deep sediment profile from the dried Kachhar Lake, Sehore District, has demonstrated that between 2050 and 1610 yr BP, open Acacia-scrub forest constituted of Acacia cf. nilotica, Grewia, Mitragyna, Sapotaceae flourished in the region under relatively warm and humid climate with moderate monsoon precipitation, than that prevails today. The retrieval of fragmentary charcoals implies the repeated forest fire incidences. The presence of Cerealia and ruderal plant taxa, viz. Cannabis sativa, Cheno/Am, Caryophyllaceae, etc. suggests the agricultural practices in the region.

Sustainable management of forest ecosystems requires assessing forest dynamics and project stand growth and yield in order to make strategic decisions. The size–density relationship is one of the most important measures in quantifying the carrying capacity of a forest ecosystem and determining appropriate silvicultural decisions. In this study, the maximum stand density index (SDImax) was estimated for three common pine species in seven different ecological regions across Türkiye.

A continuous pollen record from a central African highland site (3°28′S, 29°34′E) with 15 radio-carbon dates spans at least the last 40,000 yr. Both modern and fossil pollen have been investigated. A clear pattern of changes in vegetation and climate is suggested. Prior to 30,000 yr B.P., the occurrence of the montane conifer forest, including the upper forest limit, indicates climatic conditions colder and drier than now, but more humid than in late-glacial time. Between 30,000 and 15,000 yr B.P., grassland with afroalpine indicators expanded down to 2500-2000 m altitude as a result of dry, a

Abstract. The strong phosphorus (P) sorption capacity of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) minerals in highly weathered, acidic soils of humid tropical forests is generally assumed to be an important driver of P limitation to plants and microbial activity in these ecosystems. Humid tropical forest soils often experience fluctuating redox conditions that reduce Fe and raise pH. It is commonly thought that Fe reduction generally decreases the capacity and strength of P sorption. Here we examined the effects of 14 d oxic and anoxic incubations on soil P sorption dynamics in humid tropical forest soils

The vast majority (96%) of lemur species are already threatened with extinction, and Madagascar has already lost more than 44% of its forests.

During four non-breeding periods (2012–2016), we surveyed Colombia’s three Andean ranges, carrying out passive 5-minute point counts between 700 and 3,150 m asl in five habitats (mature forest, secondary growth, forest edges/ri

We collected water isotopic samples (δD and δ18O) from rainfall, spring, tree branch, soil and fissure between two rain events (8-day duration). The trees in the forest lands exhibited a larger variability in stem water isotopic composition than the trees in the orchards. Significantly
