Crown condition assessment at the CONECOFOR Permanent Monitoring Plots
A detailed crown condition assessment is currently being carried out at the CONECOFOR (CONtrollo ECOsistemi FORestali, Control of Forest Ecosystems) plots. The assessment began in 1996, and during the first two years (1996 and 1997) an assessment form based on previous regional experience was used; in 1998 the new official EU form was adopted. The resulting loss of comparability means that only...
متن کاملThe role of structural and life-history tradeoffs in plant architecture: a model study of Protea lepidocarpodendron (Proteaceae)
We present research in progress, aimed at explaining the tradeoffs between vegetative and reproductive structures in the architecture of Protea. The species of interest, Protea lepido-carpodendron, reproduces only after a fire that kills it. We aim at using a biomechanical developmental functionalstructural model to demonstrate that Protea lepidocarpodendron is adapted to the statistical distri...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
15 صفحه اولSurvey and assessment of vegetation in the CONECOFOR permanent plots
Phytosociological knowledge of plant communities and their synecological allocation are the reference basis of the CONECOFOR Programme. Vegetation surveys are performed in all the CONECOFOR plots (28), and have been performed in most of them for 6-7 years, following two fundamental approaches: (1) phytosociological (plant community level) and (2) dynamical (population level). According to a syn...
متن کاملHow reliable is the monitoring of permanent vegetation plots? A test with multiple observers
Questions: A multiple plots design was developed for permanent vegetation plots. How reliable are the different methods used in this design and which changes can we measure ? Location: Alpine meadows (2430 m) in the Swiss Alps. Methods: Four inventories were obtained from 40m-plots: four subplots (0.4 m) with a list of species, two 10m-transects with the point method (50 points on each), one su...
