Additionally, regeneration provides information on the recruitment potential and future composition of the stand. In the study, therefore these parameters were used for the assessing the stand dynamics. Furthermore, all the individuals plant species were identified in the field whenever possible; samples...
Revised Survey of the forest Types of IndiaA B Chaudhuri
On the other hand, seedling recruitment was poorer in the higher altitude forests due to the thick ground cover of leaf litter (mainly in coniferous forests). Multilayered canopy configuration is characterized by the presence of a large number of heterogeneous microsites, which signifies the ...
avoid further deforestation, climate change will still reduce the suitable habitat by 62% (range: 38–83%). If ongoing deforestation continues, the suitable habitat will decline by 81% (range: 66–93%). Maintaining and enhancing the integrity of protected areas, where rates of forest loss are...
In the semi-arid plains of Southern India, outside the protected area network, sacred groves forests and the barren lands invaded by Prosopis juliflora are reckoned to be the major greenery, but have homogenous and heterogeneous vegetation respectively.
The high poaching rates in Sumatra may be sustained in a short run by the high recruitment of surviving tigers because both BBSNP (3,568 km2) and GLNP (8,000 km2) are large enough to support more than 40 adult tigers (Griffiths 1994, O'Brien et al. in press). This study found ...
Burning tropical forests to establish lucrative agricultural crops ignores potentially important health externalities of the resulting air pollution. These
Forest ecosystems are vital sources of food, medicine, and fuel for human beings. Achieving sustainable forest management is an important step in the transition towards sustainable development as well as for providing economic, social, and environmental outputs [1]. Global forest coverage of the Eart...
Forest ecosystems provide numerous services and benefits to both humans and biodiversity. Similarly, urban forests services play a vital role by providing urban dwellers with recreational and leisure space, mental health relief, and meditation. In the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic, many people livin...
We first tested the full model, and, where not significant, we manually backward simplified the model (summary of the full model reported in Table S2). Differences in resprouting and recruitment were tested using linear mixed models (LMM), using the plot id as a random factor to adjust the...
