Title: Relationship between floristic similarity and vegetated land surface phenology: Implications for the synoptic monitoring of species diversity at broad geographic regions
1 Assessing species composition and its changes through time across broad 2 geographic regions are time consuming and difficult endeavors. The synoptic view 3 provided by imaging remote sensors offers an alternative. But while many studies have 4 developed procedures for assessing biodiversity using multiand hyper-spectral imagery, 5 they may only provide snapshots at particular months/seasons ...
متن کاملSpecies diversity of indigenous Trichoderma from alkaline pistachio soils in Iran
The diversity of Trichoderma spp. was investigated in alkaline soils of pistachio orchards at different geographic areas in Kerman province, Iran. A total of 161 Trichoderma isolates were obtained and identified at the species level by their morphological characters and sequence analysis of their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and tef1-α genomic regions. Totally, five species of Trichoderma ...

متن کاملSafe-Site Effects on Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities in a High-Altitude Alpine Environment
The rhizosphere effect on bacterial communities associated with three floristic communities (RW, FI, and M sites) which differed for the developmental stages was studied in a high-altitude alpine ecosystem. RW site was an early developmental stage, FI was an intermediate stage, M was a later more matured stage. The N and C contents in the soils confirmed a different developmental stage with a k...
متن کاملFire Ecology of Ground Vegetation in Pinus roxburghii Sargent Plantations in North-West Himalaya - Floristic Composition and Species Diversity
Effect of fire on phyto-sociology of understorey vegetation in chir pine forests of three different silvological characteristics was compared with pure grassland. 15 grasses, 1 sedge, 5 legumes and 21 non-legumes were recorded in the four study sites. Floristic composition gradually increased from June to August and then declined slowly by October in all the plots. Maximum number of species wa...
