Reduced Wind Speed Improves Plant Growth in a Desert City
BACKGROUND The often dramatic effects of urbanization on community and ecosystem properties, such as primary productivity, abundances, and diversity are now well-established. In most cities local primary productivity increases and this extra energy flows upwards to alter diversity and relative abundances in higher trophic levels. The abiotic mechanisms thought to be responsible for increases in...
متن کاملLandscape Sustainability in a Sonoran Desert City
The objective of this paper is to discuss concepts of landscape sustainability in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Phoenix is situated in the greater Salt River Valley of the lower Sonoran Desert in the southwest United States. In this paper I use the ecological frameworks of ecosystem services and resiliency as a metric for understanding landscape sustainability. An assessment of landscape susta...
متن کاملEvaluation of plant species used in wind erosion control (Case Study Jask city, Hormozgan province)
The aim of this research is, identifying the most appropriate species used for planting in Hormozgan province dune fixation projects. For this purpose, after Spraying Oil Mulch as a temporary stabilizer, 30 seedlings of Prosopis juliflora, Prosopis cineraria, Acacia nubica & Calotropis procera species (totally 120 seedlings) were planted under the same conditions. These, the most common plant s...
متن کاملA Novel Strategy for Wind Speed Prediction in Wind Farm
The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is well known for predicting wind speed.However, but the joint application of relevance vector machine (RVM) and empirical mode decomposition in wind speed forecasting is seldom found in the field. This paper proposes a relevance vector machine model based on empirical mode decomposition to predict the wind speed. Before the wind speed forecasting with RVM...
متن کاملWind Speed Forecasting in China: A Review
China’s wind power has developed rapidly in the past few years, the large-scale penetration of which will bring big influence on power systems. The wind speed forecasting research is quite important because it can alleviate the negative impacts. This paper reviews the current wind speed forecasting techniques in China. The literature (written in Chinese) sources and classification were firstly ...
