Early Plant Succession in Abandoned Pastures in Ecuador
We compared early plant succession in four abandoned pastures of differing age since abandonment and a nearby secondary forest site in northwestern Ecuador. Two "Open" pastures had no tree canopy covering, and two "Guava" pastures had a well-developed canopy cover of Psidium guajaua. No site had been seeded with pasture grasses. All pastures were compared in a chronological sequence; nvo were m...
متن کاملExemplifying whole-plant ozone uptake in adult forest trees of contrasting species and site conditions.
Whole-tree O3 uptake was exemplified for Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica and Larix decidua in stands at high and low altitude and contrasting water availability through sap flow measurement in tree trunks, intrinsically accounting for drought and boundary layer effects on O3 flux. O3 uptake of evergreen spruce per unit foliage area was enhanced by 100% at high relative to low elevation, whereas de...
متن کاملPredicting Plant Species Distribution Across an Alpine
5 Predictive models constitute an important tool in ecology. Using presence/absence data of 6 15 plant species of an alpine rangeland in northern Spain, and a set of 14 topographical and 7 geomorphological descriptors of relatively easy acquisition, we examined and compared the 8 performance of five state-of-the-art methods used in ecological modeling: Multiple Logistic 9 Regression (MLR), Arti...
متن کاملInvestigating Vegetation of Mowed and Grazed Areas in Tamdere Village Alpine Pastures in Turkey
Activities of transhumance ongoing have been mostly carried out in alpine pastures for centuries in Turkey. These pastures used unconsciously have faced to the danger of extinction. In order to implement improvement plans in the mentioned areas, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of pastures should be determined. This study was conducted in the mowed and grazed pastures in alpine zone...
متن کاملNitrogen:phosphorous supply ratio and allometry in five alpine plant species
In terrestrial ecosystems, atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has greatly increased N availability relative to other elements, particularly phosphorus (P). Alterations in the availability of N relative to P can affect plant growth rate and functional traits, as well as resource allocation to above- versus belowground biomass (MA and MB). Biomass allocation among individual plants is broadly si...
