Recent advances in remote sensing technology, especially the area of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Systems (UASs) provide opportunities for turfgrass breeders to collect more comprehensive data during early stages selection as well advanced trials. The goal this study was assess use UAV-based aerial imagery on replicated field Both visual (RGB) images multispectral were acquired with a small UAV platform trials bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) zoysiagrass (Zoysia plot sizes 1.8 by m 0.9 m,...
Abstract In many ecosystems ungulates have coexisted with grasslands over long periods of time. However, high densities grazing animals may change the floristic and structural characteristics vegetation, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, potentially triggering abrupt rapid changes in ecosystem condition. Alternate stable state theory provides a framework for understanding this type dynamic. Sanjiangyuan atop Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP), grassland degradation has been accompanied...
The growth rate of eucalyptus in the dry season was significantly lower than that wet season. However, limiting factors are not clear. In this paper, through continuous monitoring diameter and environmental 5.5-year-old Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake × E. grandis W. Hill ex Maiden season, characteristics during were studied determined. water fertilizer management activities evaluated to verify use under conditions mitigation provide basis for further increasing eucalyptus. results show...
As an indicator and regulator of climate environmental change, the Tibet Plateau is important barrier for ecological security. However, despite importance soil microbial communities in almost all biochemical processes ecosystem functions, biogeography on poorly understood, especially at large scales over different types. In this study, we collected samples from 64 sampling sites representing grassland types spanning 2121 km across Plateau. We then used next generation high-throughput...
Abstract Combining large multi‐environment trial (MET) datasets to decide which genotypes move forward in the breeding process can be challenging, especially when dealing with negatively correlated traits. The use of a selection index has long been identified as an effective strategy these situations. However, method found limited application turfgrass breeding. objective this study was MET data for St. Augustinegrass [ Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] lines evaluated across southern...
This study aimed to understand the response of vegetation community characteristics in degraded alpine meadow Source Zone Yellow River exclosure various lengths. Artificial fences were erected prevent livestock grazing and let recover naturally as a means restoration. The research focused on typical which four plots fenced off for three periods 1 year (E1), 4 years (E4), 10 (E10), plus freely grazed plot control. compared analyzed differences plant characteristics, carbon (C), nitrogen (N),...
To assess the ecosystem service levels in Luo River Basin and promote sustainable environmental development region, this study utilized land use meteorological data from 2000 to 2020. The InVEST optimal parameter Geodetector models were employed analyze spatiotemporal evolution driving mechanisms of water yield, soil conservation, carbon storage, habitat quality Basin. Spatially, yield generally decreases south north, while conservation shows a more dispersed distribution high values. Carbon...

To reveal mechanisms underlying the dieback of Malus sieversii in degraded wild fruit forest Ili valley China, we compared differences stem hydraulic architecture, water transport effectiveness and safety, as well their influencing factors among three growth classes dead branches ratios, including Class Ⅰ ( 80%), respectively. With increases degradation degree Xinjiang forest, sapwood-specific conductivity leaf-specific decreased, without significant classes. Branch embolism at dusk safety...
Arid and semi-arid vegetation is characterized by plant patches of different sizes, cover determined patch size (PS) number (NP). However, it still unclear how PS NP contribute to the restoration degraded grasslands through grazing exclusion (GE). Transect lines were sampled in six alpine steppe communities Tibet 2017 2018. Both assessed compared between inside outside exclosures. Our results showed that exclosures increased mean but decreased total patches. This pattern change was common...
The aims of this study were to clarify the regeneration characteristics and dominant factors affecting three natural Juniperus forests in Three-River Headwater Region Qinghai Province, thus provide a reference for protection management forests. We evaluated levels forests, effects stand soil on regeneration. results showed that poorly regenerated, with insufficient potential. average density J. tibetica forest, przewalskii forest convallium was 332, 279 202 ind·hm-2, respectively. height...
