of cryophilic plant species. The results suggest that the scree slope is strongly influenced by the interplay of vegetation cover, ground thermal regime and the distribution of frozen sediments.
The AA. investigated plant biomass, diversity and function groups, as well as soil bulk density, pH, soil carbon and nitrogen contents and the carbon/nitrogen ratio within the upper 0–1 m soil layer in fenced grassland with grazing exclusion
and in grazed grassland on the Loess Plateau (China) in 2012 and 2013. They estimated the carbon and nitrogen pools of the plants and soils to determine how the grazing exclusion affected them. Results showed that 8-year grazing exclusion increased SOC content
In this study, the volumetric soil water content and plant root distribution was measured to 300 cm depth along a cropland-treebelt-desert site at the oasis-desert ecotone in the Heihe River Basin, China. The results showed that the mean soil water
cropland decreased logarithmically with distance. The results indicated that the percolation in the cropland was an important water source for the growth of treebelt and desert plants.
afforestation sites (Populus tomentosa, Armeniaca sibirica, 8a Pinus tabulaeformis, and 24a P. tabulaeformis sites) along with the corresponding control sites. The identified sites in Shanxi Province were used to assess the effects of plant species
and afforestation time on soil carbon sequestration and physicochemical characteristics. It is highlighted that the effects of afforestation varied with plant species and afforestation time. Soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus depletion rates were higher
was observed. It can be concluded that plant communities significantly affect the spatial–temporal distribution of soil salinity. The selection of plant species is important in the reclamation of costal saline land.
restoration development times. As the plant ecosystem progressed from bare land with cryptogamic crusts to vascular plant communities, organic matter, total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P) and water holding capacity increased, whereas pH and toxicity

critical shear stress. Soil cohesion and plant roots have great effect on soil detachment process. Besides, the low rill erodibility in the restored lands always had a low soil detachment capacity, while the critical shear stress in the restored lands
Les excursions de D. Moore en Europe continentale ont servi à approfondir les réseaux d'échange de plantes entre Dublin et d'autres institutions botaniques et lui ont permis d'examiner les relations entre le climat, la survie des plantes et le

In this study, the AA. tested the influence, in species distribution models (SDMs), of predictors derived from a very high resolution (VHR) digital elevation model (DEM) by comparing the predictive power of models for 239 plant species
This study conducts empirical analysis to test the role of agglomeration economies in RandD efforts using plant-level data of the electronic and telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry in 2007. Statistical results suggest that both
that plants exhibit significant geographical localization. Moreover, it is found that geographical localization is not restricted to the manufacturing sector, but that it plays an equally important role for service industries.
The AA. review the capabilities of modern remote sensing for describing biodiversity, plant traits, vegetation condition, ecological processes, soil properties, and hydrological variables and highlight how these products may contribute to ecosystem
The AA. compare two historical data sets, from the 1870s and 1890s, respectively, to quantify changes in landscape structure and woody plant assemblages corresponding to rapid demographic changes occurring within the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma
