Southern African protected areas (PAs) harbour a great diversity of animals, which represent a large potential for wildlife tourism. In this region, global change is expected to result in vegetation changes, such as bush encroachment and increases in vegetation density. However, little is known on the influence of vegetation structure on wildlife tourists' wildlife viewing experience and satisf...

Aims (a) To determine the contribution of current macro-environmental factors in explaining phylogenetic structure European forest vegetation, (b) to map and describe spatial patterns their (c) examine which lineages are most important contributors clustering whether varies across types regions. Location Europe. Taxon Angiosperms. Methods We analysed 61,816 georeferenced vegetation plots Europe...

Vegetation is of great importance in hydraulic engineering as it can affect the flow structures compound channels many ways, including velocity profiles, momentum exchange, and shear stress distributions. This complex structure vegetated has attracted more research interests. However, most previous studies have been focusing on fully-covered channels, there are little with partially floodplain....
