Plant functional traits suggest novel ecological strategy for an invasive shrub in an understorey woody plant community
1. Understanding ecological strategies of invasive species relative to the entire native community is important in understanding and managing both the mechanisms and the potential impacts of invasion, but few studies have taken this approach. 2. We utilize advances in plant ecology to compare functional traits of an invasive shrub species, autumn-olive Elaeagnus umbellata, to those of the under...
متن کاملDifferent effects of woody species with different crown structure on some of the most important qualitative characteristics of soil (Case study: rangelands of Haluposhteh, Baladeh Noor, Mazandaran province)
Rangeland soil is one of the important environmental components that is closely related to the vegetation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three types of woody plant species including Juniperus sabina (evergreen and crown attached to the ground), Berberis integerrima (deciduous and open crown) and Onobrychis cornuta (deciduous and cushion), on under the beneath...
متن کاملUsing the Component Model of Sustainable Landscape for the Quality Assessment of Urban Natural Public Spaces: A Case Study from Tehran’s River-valleys
Ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. Landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. One element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...
متن کاملCombination effect of grazing intensity and livestock type (sheep, cattle and integrated grazing) on physical and chemical properties of soil (Case study: woody rangelands of Savadkouh city, Mazandaran)
Intense grazing of rangeland is one of the most important factors affecting rangeland degradation, which causes soil compaction, increased runoff, weakening and degradation of vegetation, and changes in rangeland species composition, and ultimately affects forage and livestock production. The present study was conducted to investigate the different intensities of cattle and sheep grazing and in...
متن کاملA comparison of carbon and nitrogen stocks among land uses/covers in coastal Florida R. Chelsea Nagy, B. Graeme Lockaby,
Coastal areas are rapidly developing due to population growth and the appeal of coastlines. In order to gain insight into how land use/cover affects carbon (C) storage in a coastal context, we examined soil and vegetation C and soil nitrogen (N) across land uses near Apalachicola, FL. Forested wetlands had the greatest soil C and N storage, while natural pine forests and pine plantations had th...
