Spatial Analysis of a Haloxylon Ammodendron Plantation in an Oasis-Desert Ecotone in the Hexi Corridor, Northwestern China
Haloxylon ammodendron is a commonly used sand-fixing species in the desert area of northwestern China; it has been abundantly planted in areas where annual precipitation is about 120 mm in the Hexi Corridor since the 1970s. Spatial patterns and associations of an H. ammodendron plantation in five stages of community development were analyzed in an oasis-desert ecotone to gain insights into popu...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Soil Environment Variation in Oasis-Desert Ecotone in the Process of Oasis Growth

متن کاملSpatial nonstationarity and the scale of species-environment relationships in the Mojave Desert, California, USA
Species distribution models (SDM) are used to quantify the relationship between some measure of species’ importance and environmental factors. They have become a fertile area of research interest at the confluence of spatial ecology and GIScience and have been used to study a wide range of biogeographical phenomena, ranging from invasive species, vector-borne diseases, and biodiversity. One iss...
