Cover of coastal vegetation as an indicator of eutrophication along environmental gradients
Coastal vegetation communities are important for primary production, biodiversity, coastal protection, carbon and nutrient cycling which, in combination with their sensitivity to eutrophication, render them potential indicators of environmental status for environmental policies like the EU Water and Marine Strategy Framework Directives. We evaluated one potential indicator for coastal vegetatio...
متن کاملVEGETATION PATTERN ALONG ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS: CONTINUUM OR COMMUNITY The concept of vegetation continuum and changing species composition along environmental gradients emerged as an antithesis of plant community
This paper presents a short review of gradient analysis basic theory, approaches and application. Contradictory viewpoints of vegetation organization along the environmental gradients are discussed. Different environmental gradients influencing plant species are considered. These are complex environmental gradients, resource gradients and direct gradients. Two approaches of gradient analysis ar...
متن کاملRemote estimation of crop fractional vegetation cover: the use of noise equivalent as an indicator of performance of vegetation indices
Many algorithms have been developed for the remote estimation of vegetation fraction in terms of combinations of spectral bands, derivatives of reflectance spectra, neural networks, inversion of radiative transfer models, and several multi-spectral statistical approaches. The most widespread type of algorithm used is the mathematical combination of visible and near-infrared reflectance, in the ...
متن کاملGround-Based Hyperspectral Characterization of Alaska Tundra Vegetation along Environmental Gradients
Remote sensing has become a valuable tool in monitoring arctic environments. The aim of this paper is ground-based hyperspectral characterization of Low Arctic Alaskan tundra communities along four environmental gradients (regional climate, soil pH, toposequence, and soil moisture) that all vary in ground cover, biomass, and dominating plant communities. Field spectroscopy in connection with ve...
