Assessing Vegetation Cover Dynamics Induced by Policy-Driven Ecological Restoration and Implication to Soil Erosion in Southern China

In the aftermath of the severe droughts and floods at the end of the 20th century, the Chinese government launched several ecological restoration projects, including the Natural Forest Protection Program in 1998 and the Grain-for-Green Program in 1999, to promote afforestation and reforestation to reduce surface runoff and consequent soil erosion nationwide. However, it is still unclear how veg...

پژوهش کنونی با هدف مطالعه رابطه بین نوشتار بصورت انفرادی و گروهی با میزان دقت، پیچیدگی و سلاست دانش آموزان زبان انگلیسی حین نگارش متون انجام شده است. بمنظور دستیابی به این هدف، دو گروه از دانش آموزان مقطع متوسطه موسسه زبان کیش انتخاب شده و سپس از آنها خواسته شد تا 6 متن را با 6 موضوع متفاوت و طی 6 جلسه به نگارش در آورند. تجزیه و تحلیل این پژوهش با هدف اندازه گیری میزان دقت، پیچیدگی و سلاست نوشت...

Ecological Context and Vegetation Restoration

Baseline information on flora is critical for planning salt marsh restoration in New Haven, Connecticut’s West River Memorial Park. This information will be important for evaluating existing site conditions and success or failure of the restoration. This chapter presents results of a plant inventory and addresses the ecological considerations necessary to return salt marsh plants to the site. A...

Spreading Topsoil Encourages Ecological Restoration on Embankments: Soil Fertility, Microbial Activity and Vegetation Cover

The construction of linear transport infrastructure has severe effects on ecosystem functions and properties, and the restoration of the associated roadslopes contributes to reduce its impact. This restoration is usually approached from the perspective of plant cover regeneration, ignoring plant-soil interactions and the consequences for plant growth. The addition of a 30 cm layer of topsoil is...
