The relationship between phytomass, NDVI and vegetation communities on Svalbard
Several studies have shown a close relationship between vegetation fertility and different vegetation indices extracted from satellite data. The vegetation fertility in Arctic is at overall scales highly related to temperature. At lower scales surface material, snow cover, hydrology and anthropogenic effects (geese, reindeer) are determinant in constituting the different vegetation communities....
متن کاملRock glaciers and related periglacial landforms in the Sierra Nevada, CA, USA; inventory, distribution and climatic relationships
Rock glaciers and related periglacial rock-ice features (RIFs) are abundant yet overlooked landforms in the Sierra Nevada, California, where they occur in diverse forms. We mapped 421 RIFs from field surveys, and grouped these into six classes based on morphology and location. These categories comprise a greater range of frozen-ground features than are commonly described in rock-glacier surveys...

ELLIO~, K. J., J. M. VOSE, W. T SWANK, AND P V. BOLSTAD. Long-term patterns in vegetation-site relationships in a southern Appalachian forest. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 126320-334. 1999.-Wused permanent plot inventories from 1969-1973 and 1988-1993 to describe forest species distribution patterns of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, a 2,185 ha basin in western North Carolina, USA. We used canonical ...
متن کاملFrost-Boil Ecosystems: Complex Interactions between Landforms, Soils, Vegetation and Climate
Frost boils in northern Alaska vary from large, 2–3-m diameter, barren non-sorted circles to completely vegetated hummocks. Summer warmth increases southwards from the coast. Average thaw-layer thickness shows the opposite trend. Frost heave shows no trend along the climate gradient but is affected by soil texture. Heave is greatest on frost boils with fine-grained sediments. Biomass increases ...
متن کاملRelationships between Design Patterns
The catalogue of design patterns from [Gamm94] contains about twenty design patterns and their mutual relationships. In this paper, we organize these relationships into different categories and revise the design patterns and their relationships. We are then able to arrange the design patterns in different layers. The results simplify the understanding of the overall structure of the catalogue, ...
