12.5 Riparian Vegetation and the Fluvial Environment: A Biogeographic Perspective
In this chapter, we review the historical arc of research on biogeomorphic interactions between fluvial geomorphology and riparian vegetation. We then report on an examination of the past 20 years of published research on this topic. Having classified studies according to the key relationships they have identified, we map those relationships to seek spatial patterns that emerge in terms of eith...
متن کاملHydrology, geomorphology, and vegetation of Coastal Plain rivers in the southeastern United States
Rivers of the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States are characteristically low-gradient meandering systems that develop broad floodplains subjected to frequent and prolonged flooding. These floodplains support a relatively unique forested wetland (Bottomland Hardwoods), which have received considerable ecological study, but distinctly less hydrogeomorphic study. The hydroperiod, or an...
متن کاملCharacterization of Biophysical Vegetation - Soil Dynamics along an Eco-climatic Brazilian Transect with Modis Vegetation Indices
Field measurements were conducted on 10 June through 21 July 2002 to collect biophysical data in support of MODIS validation studies. Leaf Area Index (LAI), Plant Area Index (PAI), Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR), biomass, cover components, site characterization and soil characterization were measured. The study areas extended over an eco-climatic transect, from the cerrado...
متن کاملSeasonal Biophysical Dynamics along an Amazon Eco-climatic Gradient Using Modis Vegetation Indices
We utilized the TerraMODIS Vegetation Index (VI) products to characterize the variability in seasonal and spatial patterns of photosynthetic vegetation activity along an eco-climatic gradient extending from the diverse Brazilian cerrado to the seasonal tropical forest at Tapajos National Forest, including transitional biomes at Santana do Araguaia and land conversion areas. The NDVI and EVI at ...
متن کاملFeasibility of eco-environmental gradient information extraction with imaging spectroscopy in karst region, Southwest China
As band widths are narrow and range of spectra is wide, subtle differences in spectral features can be extracted and used for mapping physical and chemical properties of bare substrate with imaging spectroscopy. However, the use of spectral characteristics of substrates is not accessible if substrate was covered by vegetation. In this study, we explored the feasibility of extracting karst ecoen...
