Ground-layer disturbance and initial conditions influence gap partitioning of understorey vegetation

The effects of disturbance history on the taxonomic and functional composition of ground-layer plant communities

Influence of environment, disturbance, and ownership on forest vegetation of coastal Oregon.

Information about how vegetation composition and structure vary quantitatively and spatially with physical environment, disturbance history, and land ownership is fundamental to regional conservation planning. However, current knowledge about patterns of vegetation variability across large regions that is spatially explicit (i.e., mapped) tends to be general and qualitative. We used spatial pre...

on the relationship between different discourse markers and information-gap and reasoning-gap tasks, and the effectiveness of input enhancement type of instruction on students acquisition of discourse markers.

abstract tasks nowadays are at the center of attention in sla research. task types is one of the critical issues in this regard, their effectiveness and suitability to any particular context, their characteristics and the result they yield are among some of these issues. on the other hand, discourse markers (dms) have been very much investigated and their effectiveness in conveying the meaning...

Influence of Afterbody and Boundary Layer on Cavitating Flow

The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...
