We found substantial differences among our 11 plots: vegetation types varied from evergreen forests to deciduous shrubland and open woodland. The number of tree species ≥10 cm DBH ranged between one and 17, and their density between three and 82 per plot. In spite that all plots were ...
Loch Garten (Scottish Highlands) –The distinctive pine forest of the Loch Garten Nature Center is home to rare species, such as the woodland grouse, crested tit, Scottish crossbill, and capercaillie. In spring and summer, the main attraction is the pair of osprey who annually return to the ...
InP. flexuosawoodlands, taxonomic and functional indices of vegetation and animal assemblages seem not to be strongly coupled (Chillo and Ojeda2014) although a decrease in diversity under increasing grazing intensity has been observed (Chillo et al.2017). In these woodlands, plant species richness is...

Part of the book series: Landscape Series ((LAEC,volume 30)) 1063 Accesses Abstract Referring to the manifold studies and the long-term experiences of the restoration of near-natural ecosystems and traditional land-use types, respectively, examples from all over the world are outlined. Additional...
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) and its surrounding region are considered as the Third Pole on the Earth with an average elevation of approximately 4000 m. Due to the high elevation, TP has a warming rate higher than the global average, resulting in various severe environmental changes such as glacie...
In a canopy complex forest where spectral features cannot identify the vegetation structure (e.g., canopy depth), texture features may improve the prediction accuracy of AGB thanks to their sensitivity to the horizontal arrangement patterns of canopies and their shadows. For example, Li et al. ...
A total of 15 variables were selected for the model construction of coniferous forests, and the results showed that DEM had the highest importance value, followed by the climate factors which included eight variables. The texture features and vegetation indices were in the third and fourth order,...
