Species Diversity of Trees and Forest Floor Plants in Oriental beech Forest Types of Shastkalate Educational and Research Forest, Gorgan)
Trees are the most important biological elements of forest ecosystems. The variability of the tree species composition inhabiting in the Oriental beech forest, not only forms different forest types but also has a remarkable impact on the species diversity of forest floor plants, due to the existence of trees in the overstory layer. In this research, forest types of an an Oriental beech were ide...
متن کاملUrbanization Impacts on Mammals across Urban-Forest Edges and a Predictive Model of Edge Effects
With accelerating rates of urbanization worldwide, a better understanding of ecological processes at the wildland-urban interface is critical to conserve biodiversity. We explored the effects of high and low-density housing developments on forest-dwelling mammals. Based on habitat characteristics, we expected a gradual decline in species abundance across forest-urban edges and an increased decl...
متن کاملEffects of forest–clearcut edges on a forest- breeding songbird
To understand local and regional changes in Neotropical migrant songbird populations it is important to determine whether forest-breeders can use and persist in the dynamic, variegated landscapes created by modern forestry practices. We made detailed observations of a species classified as a mature-forest specialist, the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), adjacent to clearcut...
متن کاملSmall Mammals from the Cloud Forest at Cerro Bobi, Sierra
S 99 Over time, a population of rotifers had contaminated the Scenedesmus sp. cultures, triggering the production of multicelluar, spinous forms, a typical anti-predator strategy for this genus. It is then concluded that Scenedesmus sp. does exhibit phenotypic plasticity in response to biotic and abiotic changes in the surrounding environment. Additionally, some genetic variation was found in s...
متن کاملImpact of landscape composition and configuration on forest specialist and generalist bird species in the fragmented Lacandona rainforest, Mexico
With accelerated land-use change throughout the tropics, an increasing proportion of global biodiversity is located in human-modified landscapes. Understanding the relative effects of landscape composition and configuration on biodiversity is needed to design effective conservation strategies. Yet this topic is poorly understood because most studies have been performed at the patch scale, and d...
