Predicting leaf traits of herbaceous species from their spectral characteristics
Trait predictions from leaf spectral properties are mainly applied to tree species, while herbaceous systems received little attention in this topic. Whether similar trait-spectrum relations can be derived for herbaceous plants that differ strongly in growing strategy and environmental constraints is therefore unknown. We used partial least squares regression to relate key traits to leaf spectr...
متن کاملIs manure an alternative to topsoil in road embankment restoration?
One of the main steps in road and railway embankment restoration is the spreading of previously removed topsoil, which provides an input of seeds, organic matter and microorganisms and encourages the establishment of a vegetation cover, essential to stabilise the embankment and blend it with the landscape. However, topsoil is a scarce resource, prompting the search for economic alternatives wit...
متن کاملComparing herbaceous plant communities in active and passive riparian restoration
Understanding the efficacy of passive (reduction or cessation of environmental stress) and active (typically involving planting or seeding) restoration strategies is important for the design of successful revegetation of degraded riparian habitat, but studies explicitly comparing restoration outcomes are uncommon. We sampled the understory herbaceous plant community of 103 riparian sites varyin...
متن کاملWoody-Herbaceous-Livestock Species Interaction
Woody-herbaceous-livestock species interactions have attracted a great deal of research attention due to global land cover changes and increasing livestock production systems around the world. It has been well recognized that many local and regional factors, physical and biological, influence the interaction between woody and herbaceous species. While impacting the dynamics, and tipping the bal...
