Estimation of Leaf Area Index in Dwarf Mountain Pine (pinus Mugo Turra) Using Hyperspectral Data
The natural environment of the Tatras is one of the most diverse in Europe in terms of species richness and ecological value. This mountain range is well preserved and constitutes an important part of Europe’s nature resources. Dwarf pine (Pinus mugo Turra) is the main component of the Tatras subalpine belt covering altitude between 1550 and 1800 m a.s.l. It is a very dynamic species, which exp...
متن کاملConsequences for selected high-elevation butterflies and moths from the spread of Pinus mugo into the alpine zone in the High Sudetes Mountains
Due to changes in the global climate, isolated alpine sites have become one of the most vulnerable habitats worldwide. The indigenous fauna in these habitats is threatened by an invasive species, dwarf pine (Pinus mugo), which is highly competitive and could be important in determining the composition of the invertebrate community. In this study, the association of species richness and abundanc...
متن کاملPre-Variscan evolution of the Western Tatra Mountains: new insights from U-Pb zircon dating.
In situ LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology combined with cathodoluminescence imaging were carried out to determine protolith and metamorphic ages of orthogneisses from the Western Tatra Mountains (Central Western Carpathians). The metamorphic complex is subdivided into two units (the Lower Unit and the Upper Unit). Orthogneisses of the Lower Unit are mostly banded, fine- to medium-grained r...
متن کاملSpontaneous Hybridization between Pinus mugo and Pinus sylvestris at the Lithuanian Seaside: A Morphological Survey
We address the problem of spontaneous hybridization between an exotic species Pinus mugo and the native/local P. sylvestris at the seaside spit of Kursiu Nerija in Lithuania. The objective was to identify spontaneous hybrids between P. mugo and P. sylvestris based on morphology traits among the individuals naturally regenerating at the seaside spit. The field inventory was carried out over the ...
متن کاملLate Holocene expansion of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) in the Central Rocky Mountains, USA
Aim Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) experienced one of the most extensive and rapid post-glacial plant migrations in western North America. We used plant macrofossils from woodrat (Neotoma) middens to reconstruct its spread in the Central Rocky Mountains, identify other vegetation changes coinciding with P. ponderosa expansion at the same sites, and relate P. ponderosa migra-tional history to ...
