Efforts to increase resilience of dry forests often focus on removing most s...

Concentrations of airborne coliform bacteria as high as 1.5 X 10(4) m-3 were observed 8 cm above anaerobically digested sewage sludge applied to a forest clearcut. Dry conditions and high wind speeds tended to favor aerosol generation.

Australotymnes jipijapa new genus, new species (type locality: Ecuador) is described. Adults were collected from vegetation during the rainy season in disturbed and converted dry forest in western Ecuador.

Litter decomposition makes possible the nutrient cycling and is a link between vegetation soil, vital for healthy forest ecosystem. Although several studies on litter have been carried out in different regions of Brazil, there are few transitional zones Cerrado Caatinga, particularly state Piauí. Therefore, objective this work was to evaluate litterfall production, composition rate tropical dry...

Knowledge of temporal variations of Leaf Area Index (LAI) aids in understanding the climate-vegetation interaction of different vegetative systems. This information is amenable from high temporal remote sensing data. India has around 78.37 million hectare, accounting for 23.84% of the geographic area of the country under forest/tree cover. India has a diverse set of vegetation types ranging fro...

Systematic and elaborate multidisciplinary research of pedunculate oak and common hornbeam began in the Forest Research Institute in Jastrebarsko in 1991. That led to a development of a method for monitoring deposition in forest ecosystems which is now closely related to the International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forest. Several forest comm...
