What are the dominant plants of a desert biome?Desert Biome:Because of the desert landscape's dry, arid environment, a significant percentage of people believe it is unsuitable for living organisms, particularly plant life, to thrive. The desert appears tough for living organisms to grow due to...
patterns and associations of plant species are important for revealing how species interact with each other and with the environment, and hence have important implications for the understanding of species interaction and underlying ecological processes with apparent patterns in temperate desert vegetation. ...

Frequency distributions of the spatial structural indices are shown in Fig.2. The uniform angle indices of all species in both entire plots mainly distributed from 0.5166 to 0.5449 and 0.4773 to 0.6000, indicating that the distributions of tree species were mainly random. In the disturbed plot, w...
We assessed the impact of fog on microclimate in a poorly understood fog desert under two common nurse plant species, at three sites: (1) foggy coast, (2) intermediate, and (3) above the main fog belt in the Atacama Desert (Peru). We quantify nurse plant modification of their understory...
There the climate was continental arid, with an annual precipitation of 110~220mm falling mainly in the spring and summer and a potential annual evaporation of about 2000mm. Along with the various but regular topography, various types of soil occurred in the desert. The vegetation was sparse ...
The effects of reindeer grazing on the composition and species richness of vegetation in forest-tundra ecotone We conducted an 8-year exclosure experiment (1999-2006) in a forest-tundra ecotonal area in northwestern Finnish Lapland to study the effects of reindeer g... Pajunen,Virtanen,Roinine...
33). NDVI is an index to calculate greenness of vegetation34 and is the suitable indicator for determining the long-term changes of vegetation in one zone35. This indicator is based on the reflectance of differential which trees, shrubs and plants exhibit for various parts of the radiation ...
Response of transpiration and stomata to climate drivers were non-convergent among leaf, branch and whole plant scales for this desert shrub. Therefore, one must be cautious in up scaling leaf-scale data to infer canopy scale water conservation to avoid overestimation of plant response to climate ...
The proportions of water sources in plants are related to plant adaptation,and reflect the mechanisms of niche differentiation and diversity in arid desert regions. At present,traditional physical methods is hard to determine the proportions of water sources in plants. But,due to the stable isotopes...
