In the light of “Biological Diversity” concept, habitats are cardinal pieces for biodiversity quantitative estimation at a local and global scale. Europe EUNIS (European Nature Information System) is system tool habitat identification assessment. Earth Observation (EO) data, which acquired by satellite sensors, offer new opportunities environmental sciences they revolutionizing methodologies ap...

Abstract The risk of wildfires in the Mediterranean region is expected to increase with climate change. Fire one main drivers plant diversity and composition, triggering succession processes that vary according fire regime species’ regeneration traits. Human management can modulate these promote recovery burned soil-vegetation system, through application practices such as salvage logging. Effec...

Lidar-derived forest structural diversity (FSD) metrics—including measures of canopy height, vegetation arrangement, cover (CC), complexity and leaf area density—are increasingly used to describe characteristics can be infer many ecosystem functions. Despite broad adoption, the importance spatial resolution (grain extent) over which these metrics are calculated remains largely unconsidered. Oft...

Background Salix koreensisis native to Korea, Japan and China, is a deciduous broadleaved tall tree growing throughout Korea. This species is dioecius and planted along the streets and for landscaping. Along the rivers the species grows well reaching up to 20 meters in height. Trees bloom in April and fruits ripe in May. This study was carried out to investigate the genetic diversity of S. kore...

Changes in litter quality (carbon:nitrogen, C:N) and above-ground biomass (AGB) following vegetation restoration significantly impact soil physicochemical properties, yet their effects on microbial metabolic limitations remain unclear. We measured quality, AGB, extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) along a gradient (7, 14, 49, 70 years, nearly climax evergreen broadleaved forests) southern China....

Eastern European broadleaved forests north of the 50th degree latitude serve as a core breeding area for most migratory bat species wintering in and Central Europe. The southern border this region has faced an increase clear-cutting intensity recent decades. We conducted standardized mist-netting survey on eleven heterogeneous oak forest plots order to assess how land cover types age affect abu...

Nitrogen (N) deposition affects plant growth and interspecific interaction. This study aimed to explore the effect of N on eco-physiological interactions between two tree species dominating in subtropical forests. A greenhouse experiment was conducted for 6 months which conifer Cunninghamia lanceolata broadleaved Phoebe chekiangensis were grown monocultures a mixture under levels addition: 0 45...

Engineering applications can be used to mitigate the adverse effects of soil compaction and amend compacted soils. Previous literature has highlighted beneficial interventions such as litter mulching incorporation on skid trails. However, little is known about effectiveness these alternatives in restoring forest quality after logging. The objective this study was properly elucidate above mentio...
