Abstract In the tropics, conversion of woodland and forest into cropland pasture has risen drastically during last decade. Rapid population growth poverty are believed to be main factors change in land use these zones. Southern Burkina Faso experienced rapid due massive peasants' migration from north central regions Country, exacerbated by decreasing rainfall arable area origin. This paper assessed impact such increased on attracting zones 1986 2006. Satellite images were used measure...
Mining alters the natural landscape and discharges large volumes of wastes that pose serious pollution hazards to environment, human health agriculture. As a result, recent 2 decades have witnessed global surge in research on post-mining restoration, yielding suite techniques including physical, chemical, biological (also known as phytoremediation) combinations. Despite long history mining Africa, no systematic review has summarized advances restoration practices after disturbance. Thus, aim...
Assessing the recovery of species diversity and composition after major disturbance is key to understanding resilience tropical forests through successional processes, its importance for biodiversity conservation. Despite specific abiotic environment ecological processes dry forests, secondary succession has received less attention in this biome than others changes have never been synthesised a systematic quantitative review. This study aims assess 1) directionality change richness evenness...
Soil characterization is a vital activity to develop appropriate and effective restoration protocols for mine wastelands while insights into the total content of heavy metals in soil an important step estimating hazards that may pose roles ecosystem. This study addressed following research questions: (1) To what extent do physico-chemical characteristics vary between waste sediments nearby forest soil? (2) Are concentrations high enough be considered as toxic? (3) present potential sources...
Chokecherry (Padus virginiana L.) is an important landscaping tree with high ornamental value because of its colorful purplish-red leaves (PRL). The quantifications anthocyanins and the mechanisms leaf color change in this species remain unknown. potential biosynthetic regulatory accumulation patterns P. that determine three colors were investigated by combined analysis transcriptome metabolome. difference chlorophyll, carotenoid anthocyanin content correlated formation color. Using...
Forest fire risk mapping is an essential measure for forest management. Quickly and precisely assessing risks, rationally planning zones, scientifically allocating firefighting resources are of great significance mitigating the increasingly severe threat fires. This study utilized random (RF) algorithm Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) to conduct a risk-zoning in protection development belt Wuyishan National Park. The findings revealed that some areas western southern parts this region...
Smoke and particulate matter released from forest fires, affecting the photosynthetic rate stomatal conductance, may change isotope composition in tree rings. Therefore, analysis of tree-ring isotopes could be a promising approach to monitor fires. We hypothesized that fires influence abundance carbon (δ 13 C), oxygen 18 O) nitrogen 15 N) radial growth rings conifers through their impact on physiological processes. collected wood cores four coniferous species northern southern China. The...
Frequent and intense anthropogenic fires present meaningful challenges to forest management in the boreal of China. Understanding underlying drivers human-caused fire occurrence is crucial for making effective scientifically-based plans. In this study, we applied logistic regression (LR) Random Forests (RF) identify important biophysical factors that help explain likelihood Chinese forest. Results showed were more likely occur at areas close railways significantly influenced by types....
Fuel characteristics, fire behaviour and temperature were studied in relation to grazing, dominant grass type wind direction West African savanna–woodland by lighting 32 prescribed early fires. Grazing significantly reduced the vegetation height, total fuel load, dead live fractions whereas plots dominated perennial grasses had higher values for load quantity of load. Although intensity remained insensitive (P > 0.05) any these factors, consumption was = 0.021) rate spread faster head...
Available P is the major growth-limiting factor in southern China where Chinese fir ( Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) plantations are increasingly established. Planting P-efficient clones a viable option to enhance productivity of plantations. Two with high efficiency (M1 and M4) were chosen as research materials their adaptive responses low stress examined. The increment root morphological traits biomass production these was measured by sand culture experiment heterogeneous supply....
Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb) Hook) is a commercially valuable timber species that widely planted in southern China and accounts for 6.1% of the global plantation forests. However, appropriate planting density ensures high productivity largely unexplored this species. The aim study was to examine tree growth, biomass production, its allocation among different organs relation initial density, whether has an impact on root development. Mortality, diameter at breast height...
Abstract Background The non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are important energy source or nutrients for all plant growth metabolism. To persist in shaded understory, saplings have to maintain the dynamic balance of nutrients, such as leaf NSCs, C, N P. improve understanding nutrient utilization strategies between shade-tolerant shade-intolerant species, we therefore compared N, P response shade seedlings Schima superba Cunninghamia lanceolate ....
