1 lut 2022 · Here we highlight ten recent studies examining patterns and drivers of, as well as threats to, herbaceous plant diversity in forests. We first examine local, regional, and global patterns of ...
14 wrz 2023 · The characterization of forest structure is the key to understanding the vegetation history, present status, and future development trajectory of the forest ecosystems.
Introduction. Forest biodiversity1 is the basis for forest functioning, the provision of a multitude of forest ecosystem services and for maintaining forest adaptation and resilience to cli-mate change.
1 maj 2022 · Methods We compiled EuForPlant, a new extensive list of forest vascular plant species in 24 regions spread across 13 European countries using vegetation databases and expert knowledge.
1 lut 2016 · For example, within tropical East Asia (SE Asia plus S China and NE India), the highest diversities (>210 tree species >10 cm diameter in 1 ha of forest) are in lowland rainforests in Borneo and Sumatra, but high diversities (>100 tree species) also occur in lowland rainforests from Sulawesi to southern China (Corlett, 2014a). Plots at higher ...
We first examine local, regional, and global patterns of herbaceous diversity in forests and how such patterns differ for woody versus herbaceous species. We then focus on ecological mechanisms that contribute to forest herb diversity, including the role of abiotic and biotic interactions.
Status and trends of forests in protected areas. Globally, 18 percent of the world’s forest area, or more than 700 million hectares, is reported to fall within legally established protected areas such as national parks, conservation areas and game reserves (protected-area categories I–IV).
