and drains quickly. Deciduous forests have brown soil, richer than sand in nutrients, and less porous.Rainforestsandsavannawoodlands often have a soil layer rich in iron or aluminum, which give the soils either a reddish or yellowish cast. Given the vast amounts ofrainthey receive, the soil ...
SOIL ORGANIC MATTERFOREST-SAVANNA ECOTONE DYNAMICSC-13 NATURAL ABUNDANCEINDIAIn India, the stability of the forest savanna boundary (ecotone) has been questioned. To investigate the possibility of vegetation change at this boundary, we used the natural difference in the stable carbon isotope ratio (...
In time deforestation, forest degradation and ecological imbalances due to the changing forest species composition may inflict irreversible damages upon unstable and fragile mountain zones such as the Indian Himalayas. The associated common property externalities involved at local, regional and global scales...
Effects of climate and forest development on habitat specialization and biodiversity in Central European mountain forests Species richness across taxa showed U-shaped patterns along a forest development gradient in the northern Alps, which remained stable with elevation. Habitat specialization decreased for ...

(REDD+). In addition, climate change constitutes one of the greatest threats to forest biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks of native forests have not been incorporated into the Forest Reference Emission Levels calculations and for conservation planning ...
The net change in forest AGB calculated using the 2000/01 and 2014/15 composites shows that many areas have witnessed marked forest loss from wildfire and mountain pine beetle over the period, including the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache, Manti-La Sal, and Ashley National Forests in N. Utah; most of...

We used three state-of-the-art machine learning techniques (boosted regression tree, random forest, and support vector machine) to produce a multi-hazard (MHR) map illustrating areas susceptible to flooding, gully erosion, forest fires, and earthquakes i
Changes in forest disturbance are likely to be greatest in coniferous forests and the boreal biome, according to a review of global climate change effects on biotic and abiotic forest disturbance agents and their interactions. Forest disturbances are sen
