Seven-bar seedling planting mechanism is one kind of developed transplanting mechanism of vegetable seedling transplanting machines. Dynamic equations of the link rods were established and analysis program was compiled so as to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the mechanism; Meanwhile, simulation model of the mechanism was established and corresponding virtual dynamic test was conducted based on Adams. The consistency between calculation results based on kinematic theory model and simulation results achieved from Adams was proved through comparison, which verified the dynamics model was

Abstract:
Natural populations of the evergreen shrub, Thymelaea hirsuta (L.) Endl., were studied over 6 years at five desert habitats, in terms of seedling recruitment and adult survival and as a function of plant size and gender class. Habitat and time significantly influenced mortality of both reproductive and non-reproductive plants. Plant size also significantly affected adult mortality. Seedling recruitment varied significantly with habitat and year and approached zero some years. Significant among-year and among-population variation in population growth rates were observed over the 6 years of stud

Abstract:
Abstract When a dark-germinated seedling reaches the soil surface and perceives sunlight for the first time, light signaling is activated to adapt the plant’s development and transition to autotrophism. During this process, functional chloroplasts assemble in the cotyledons and the seedling’s cell expansion pattern is rearranged to enhance light perception. Hypocotyl cells expand rapidly in the dark, while cotyledon cell expansion is suppressed. However, light reverses this pattern by activating cell expansion in cotyledons and repressing it in hypocotyls. The fact that light-regulated develop

Abstract:
This chapter examines the Human Ecosystem Model (HEM), which began as a seedling in the late 1960s and has grown and developed into a middle-aged forest today. Human ecosystem is defined as a coherent system of biophysical and social factors capable of adaptation and sustainability over time. Coherence is relative and varying within human ecosystems. There can be “tight coherence” between available energy flows and economic activity, as when a scarcity of petroleum reduces industrial production and raises costs. There can also be “loose coherence,” such as the relationship between available water supplies and the performance of educational institutions. The chapter also elaborates on some of the other key words from the given definition of human ecosystem, such as capability, adaptation, and sustainability.

Abstract:
Anne Frank’s chestnut tree can be found on the pages of children’s books, in the frame of a video, as a digital leaf on a cyber-trunk or as a seedling shared throughout the world. The image can never represent Anne Frank’s entire story, but, as this chapter demonstrates, as a subsequent icon it does serve as a reminder for overcoming ignorance, respecting humanity and, most importantly, combatting prejudice. The chapter explores the complexity of the chestnut tree as a ‘pedagogical icon’ by studying the way it applies to and influences the educational sector both on literary and digital platforms. It follows insights from Cohen-Janca, Gottesfeld, Kohuth and Eisenberg Sasso, who state that it is the interplay between the remembrance of the Shoah and the sustainability of trees and the environment that inspires a fruitful compositional narrative for young readers.

Abstract:
The deltaic landscape of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta has evolved through a complex interplay of geomorphic processes and tidal dynamics coupled with the anthropogenic modifications brought over in course of the reclamation of the islands since the late 18th century. The reclamation process was characterized by clearing lands for paddy farms and fish ponds by building a mesh of earthen embankments along creek banks to restrict saltwater intrusion. The length of the embankments in the Indian Sundarbans alone is 3638 km (World Bank, 2014) which altered the tidal inundation regimes, sediment accretion and geomorphic character of the deltaic inlets. The mean annual sedimentation rate (2.3 cm y−1) in the central Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is over two times higher than sedimentation within the natural intertidal setting of the Sundarbans (Rogers et al., 2017). The tidal range has also increased inland due to polder construc¬tion, with high water levels within the polder zone increasing as much as 1.7 cm y−1 (Pethick and Orford, 2013). Embankments have impacted on the biodiversity and physiological adaptations of mangroves within the sphere of tidal ingression, habitat fragmentation and seedling establishment. The chapter attempts to reappraise the impact of dykes on the geomorphology of the deltaic landscape and on the functionalities of mangrove forests.

Recovery of African dry forests and woodlands is through either sexual or vegetative means. A sufficient number of regeneration pool (root suckers, sprouts, and seedlings) tend to occur in the herbaceous layer of the African dry forests. However, the prevailing environmental conditions such as fires and competition for nutrients and light influence the number of surviving individuals to enter the next size class. Developing restoration strategy for the African savannas requires the knowledge of regeneration mechanisms and dynamics of these woodlands which will be helpful in their management.

Abstract:
The mammalian herbivores of the taiga forests include members of the largest (moose) and smallest (microtines) vertebrates that inhabit North American terrestrial biomes. Their abundance in a particular area fluctuates dramatically due to seasonal use of particular habitats (moose) and external factors that influence demographic processes (microtines). The low visibility of herbivores to the casual observer might suggest that these animals have minimal influence on the structure and the function of boreal forests. On the contrary, seedling herbivory by voles, leaf stripping by moose, or wholesale logging of mature trees by beaver can profoundly change forest structure and functioning. These plant-herbivore interactions have cascading effects on the physical, chemical, and biological components of the boreal ecosystem that shape the magnitude and direction of many physicochemical and biological processes. These processes, in turn, control the vertical and horizontal interactions of the biological community at large. Herbivores act as ecosystem engineers (Jones et al. 1994) in that they reshape the physical characteristics of the habitat, modify the resource array and population ecology of sympatric species, and influence the flux of energy and nutrients through soils and vegetation. Additionally, many herbivores are central to a variety of human activities. Both consumptive and nonconsumptive use of wildlife represents a pervasive aspect of life in the North. In this chapter, we examine the interactions of mammalian herbivores with their environment, with an emphasis on moose, and attempt to delineate the biotic and abiotic conditions under which herbivores influence the phenotypic expression of vegetation. We also examine the role of herbivores, and of wildlife in general, in the context of human perceptions and interactions with their environment. Human-environment interactions are both direct and indirect and pertain to a variety of social expressions. The relationship between humans and wildlife has economic, cultural, and psychological dimensions, which underscore the importance of these animals in a broader social, as well as ecological, context. Northern ecosystems such as the boreal forest are characterized by extreme seasonality and pronounced change in resource availability between summer and winter. Not surprisingly, these conditions are reflected in the population dynamics of the animals that inhabit these environments, particularly in smaller-bodied herbivores.
