Forested, mountain landscapes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are changing at an unprecedented rate, largely due to shifts regional climate regime. Documented warming trends across PNW include increasing wildfire frequency and severity increasingly ephemeral snowpack, especially moderate elevations. We analyzed 24 high wildfires four distinct mountainous subregions, examining snow-vegetation rel...

Revegetation is an important restoration strategy for the control of rocky desertification. However, few studies have focused on effects different desertification degrees (RDDs) plant diversity and soil fertility in northern Guangdong over long periods time. In this study, variance analysis, correlation canonical analysis (CCA) were used to examine diversity, physicochemical properties, their c...

On examples of n × 100 m2 permanent plots laid in 2005 on peatlands disturbed by quarrying and milling peat extraction Meshchera National Park (central European Russia), changes vegetation cover environmental factors during self-revegetation, the impact wildfire, rewetting are considered. Peat pits overgrown with floating mats, which mire, predominantly mesotrophic, is formed. Cofferdams retain...

Revegetation on moving sand dunes is a widely used approach for restoring the degraded sandy land in northeastern China. The development of sand-fixation forest might improve structures soil microbial communities and affect N cycle. In present study, diversities nitrite (nirS nirK) nitrous oxide (nosZ) reductase genes were investigated under chronosequence Caragana microphylla shrub (9- 19-year...

A partially peat-extracted coastal bog contaminated by seawater was barren and required revegetation as a wetland. Peat fields were rectangular in shape, cambered in cross-section profile, and separated by drainage ditches. Common to all peat fields were symmetrical patterns in micro-topography with slopes between differences in elevation. Saline non-waterlogged slopes of ∼5% occurred as a symm...
