The AA. examine some historical turning points that led soil scientists to embrace a plant-linked, agronomic-inspired, environmental factors approach to explain soil formation and to turn away from a process-oriented and animal-linked approach
Does plant cover structure in rural areas modify climate change effects?

This paper shows that : modification of the plant cover in an agricultural landscape influences the vertical flux of sensible heat; the changes in land-use pattern influence the vertical fluxes of sensible and latent heat at the scale
Photographic evidence of rate of development of plant cover on the emergent island Anak Krakatau from 1971 to 1991 and implications for the effect of volcanism

Photographs of the vegetated North and East Forelands of Anak Krakatau, which emerged from the sea in 1930 and was totally devastated by volcanic activity in 1952/53, provide some evidence of rate of change of plant cover from grassland to woodland
Here the AA. review the role of clouds and aerosols in partitioning solar radiation and their interactions with carbon processes of terrestrial plants. They also focus their review on vegetation characteristics that control the impact of radiation
role of vegetation in determining river planform. At the same time, modellers have incorporated factors such as moisture-dependent plant growth, canopy and root architecture and their influence on flow resistance and sediment/bank reinforcement
years of the twenty-first century, complementary field, flume and theoretical/modelling investigations have contributed to major advances in understanding the influence of plants on fluvial systems. Flume experiments have demonstrated the fundamental

is also implemented. The canopy interception and soil infiltration processes were incorporated into the original BTOPMC to model event-based runoff simulation in large arid regions. One designed infiltration model is validated for event hydrological
Estimation of canopy parameters for inhomogeneous vegetation canopies from reflectance data. II. Estimation of leaf area index and percentage of ground cover for row canopies
Diversity of understory plant species in a disturbed subalpine forest in the Colorado Rockies was examined to explore the hypothesis that intermediate levels of disturbance generate and maintain high levels of diversity. The AA. use a natural
experiment, where a severe but patchy windstorm damaged the canopy of a subalpine forest in the Colorado Front Range in 1974. The results suggest that intermediate levels of disturbance severity may offer more microhabitats, at least temporarily, for a wider
