Using multivariate techniques to quantitatively estimate ecological stages in a mixed grass prairie

Cluster analysis followed by stepwise discriminant analysis was used to delineate ecological stages on a mixed grass prairie in western South Dakota. Forty-seven variables were analyzed for 48 sites ranging from potential vegetation to early seral stages. A cover-frequency index for western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), and buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides) w...

Predicting Nitrogen Content in the Northern Mixed-Grass Prairie

Forage quality and quantity are important factors affecting livestock production from grazing lands. ‘‘Greenness’’ has been proposed as an indicator of herbage quality in semiarid environments, particularly nitrogen (N) content. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of estimating N content of forage using dead:green ratios and accumulated growing-degreedays (AGDD). Standing cr...

شبکه خود سازمانده پرکاربردترین شبکه عصبی برای انجام خوشه بندی و کوانتیزه نمودن برداری است. از زمان معرفی این شبکه تاکنون، از این روش در مسائل مختلف در حوزه های گوناگون استفاده و توسعه ها و بهبودهای متعددی برای آن ارائه شده است. شبکه خودسازمانده از تعدادی سلول برای تخمین تابع توزیع الگوهای ورودی در فضای چندبعدی استفاده می کند. احتمال وجود سلول مرده مشکلی اساسی در الگوریتم شبکه خودسازمانده به حسا...

Five years of phenology observations from a mixed-grass prairie exposed to warming and elevated CO2

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have been steadily increasing since the Industrial Era and contribute to concurrent increases in global temperatures. Many observational studies suggest climate warming alone contributes to a longer growing season. To determine the relative effect of warming on plant phenology, we investigated the individual and joint effects of warming and CO2 enrichment on a mix...

Interannual Variability in Dry Mixed-Grass Prairie Yield: A Comparison of MODIS, SPOT, and Field Measurements

Remote sensing is often used to assess rangeland condition and biophysical parameters across large areas. In particular, the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and above-ground biomass can be used to assess rangeland primary productivity (seasonal carbon gain or above-ground biomass “yield”). We evaluated the NDVI–yield relationship for a southern Alberta pra...
