fungi include a large group of organisms that are found in different ecological conditions and are important components in forest ecosystems. the northern forests of iran are mountainous mixed forests, and have high biological diversity. the aim of this research was asses influence of physiographic factors on abundance and diversity of wood macrofungi. after of primary field inspection fungi sa...

We examined the distribution of ground-flora species (herbaceous and woody species <1 m tall) across riparian areas of northeastern Wisconsin in an effort to understand how hierarchical landscape properties, such as the physiographic system (ground moraine and outwash plain), valley system (constrained and unconstrained), and valley floor landforms influence distribution patterns of ground-flor...

Remotely sensed imageries were used to analyze the response of desert vegetation to physiographic factors and accumulated precipitation in drier and wetter years within a region of >16,500 km(2) sampled with 5,000 random pixels of 30 m. Vegetation development was indexed by the annual maximum values for greenness (SAVI) and canopy water content (NDII). Precipitation was interpolated from the 0....
