View our USDA plant hardiness zone map and find your zone. Learn more about tree growing zones and how they effect the plants you can use in your garden.
The purposes of this study are 1) to define a dominant temperature factor which governs tree planting distributions and 2) on the basis of the factor, to prepare a tree planting zone map for landscaping for the southern part of Japan. The results are as follows. (1) A limmiting factor ...
In this paper the Binary Search Tree Imposed Growing Self Organizing Map (BSTGSOM) is presented as an extended version of the Growing Self Organizing Map (GSOM), which has proven advantages in knowledge discovery applications. A Binary Search Tree imposed on the GSOM is mainly used to ...
The conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems require detailed knowledge of the native plant compositions. Here, we map global forest tree composition and assess the impacts of historical forest cover loss and climate change on trees. The global
In GLM models, we tested for the interaction between MAP and MAT to detect potential non-additive environmental filtering effects of these two dominant climate variables. In addition, we tested for the interaction between each MAP and MAT with distance to ports, to examine whether this important ...
Furthermore, rich on-map and graphical data visualization of the results are generated to help visualize the numerical results through the open data sources (e.g., data histograms, geographical pipe risk and most-impacting-element maps, line charts, etc.). 2.2. Algorithms In brief, let G=(...
3a). Three of them are included into the Eurosiberian biogeographical region but are representative of transition zones between the Mediterranean and the Eurosiberian regions (Cevenno-Pyrenean, Alpine, and Apennino-Balkan); the other ten are included in the Mediterranean region. We studied the ...
where if you invested solely on physical defense you would have no trouble dealing with a physical attack monster, but taking two or three hits from a magic attack monster in the same map would leave your character incapable of combat. Finally, there was the issue of balance differences betwee...
Intensive ungulate browsing significantly impacts forests worldwide. However, it is usually not single browsing events that lead to sapling mortality, but the little-researched interactions of browsed saplings with their biotic and abiotic environment. (
to identify highly exposed species. Next, we overlayed the species’ extents that have been updated with preferred climate zones and exclude surface water areas and rasterized them to a 0.01-degree resolution, in order to count the number of species in each grid cell and map hotspots of highly...
