Abstract This article is focused on the specific vegetation, which has formed from floodplain forests aggradation mound (elevated sediment deposition) along original Danube river in Slovakia part affected by Gabčíkovo waterworks that was put operation 1992. As a result of water regime changes, when major flow redirected to hydroelectric power plant, began suffer deficit, also supported shallow ...

Methods We sampled bird assemblages in 220 point counts, stratified across three regions and four land-use types. Species richness was examined using accumulation curves and generalized linear mixed-effect models. Compositional and structural changes were analysed with ordination techniques. We used correlations and model selection to identify species traits and environmental variables associat...

AIMS Considered as an essential measure in the application of soil seed bank (SSB) projects, the mixing of substrate and surface soil can effectively improve soil condition. This research is aimed at exploring the diversity characteristics of SSBs and the relationships between SSBs and soil properties. METHODS Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was adopted to describe the ordination of S...

As a result of the warming observed at high latitudes, there is significant potential for the balance of ecosystem processes to change, i.e., the balance between carbon sequestration and respiration may be altered, giving rise to the release of soil carbon through elevated ecosystem respiration. Gross ecosystem productivity and ecosystem respiration vary in relation to the pattern of vegetation...

2 Forest Advisor, University of California, Cooperative Extension, Eureka, California Abstract: Data on riparian community composition and environmental conditions were collected on over 20 streams in the Sierra Nevada as part of hydropower licensing studies. Over 1,000 samples were analyzed using two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN), to determine riparian dominance types. Ordination t...

In Bhutan the Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is highly valued for its timber and listed under special class in Royalty on Forest Products of Bhutan. Possessing high other medicinal values, ecology species country was poorly understood. The study aimed to understand ecological requirements habitat modeling A purposive non-probability sampling adopted natural habitats four districts (Gasa, Pun...

Canonical community ordination comprises a collection of methods that relate species assemblages to their environment, in both observational studies and designed experiments. Canonical ordination differs from ordination sensu stricto in that species and environment data are analyzed simultaneously. Part I reviews the theory in a non-mathematical way with emphasis on new insights for the interpr...
