Vegetation provides important functions and services in urban areas, and vegetation heights divided into vertical and horizontal units can be used as indicators for its assessment. Conversely, detailed area-wide and updated height information is frequently missing for most urban areas. This study sought to assess three vegetation height classes from a globally available TanDEM-X digital elevati...

Field data describing the height growth of trees or stands over several decades are very scarce. Consequently, our capacity of analyzing forest dynamics over large areas and long periods of time is somewhat limited. This study proposes a new method for retrospectively reconstructing plotwise average dominant tree height based on a time series of high-resolution canopy height maps, termed canopy...

High-density airborne laser scanner data has been previously shown to provide great opportunities for individual tree detection and measurement of variables characterizing the detected trees. This paper evaluates the effect of laser flight altitude on the tree height estimation at individual tree level in the boreal forest area mainly consisting of Norway spruce, Scots pine and birch. The test ...

field experiments were conducted to determine the optimum application rate of sunn hemp crotalaria juncea leaf residue in the management of meloidogyne incognita on tomato. sunn hemp applied at rates of 0 (control), 2, 4 and 6 kg/ha showed a varied effect on second stage juveniles of m. incognita. there were no differences in plant height and stem girth. the 6 kg/ha treatment reduced the m. inc...

different ecologic factors influence on forming, development and sustaining of the plant communities, among which physiographic variables are the most important ones. the aim of this study was to identify forest types and effect of physiographical factors such as sea level height, slope and aspect of the site on quantitative characteristics of forest types in 2nd district of vaz forest with are...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between anthropometrics and sprint and agility performance and describe the development of sprint (acceleration) and agility performance in 10- to 16-year-old male soccer players. METHODS One hundred and thirty-two participants were divided into three age groups, 10-12 years (mean 10.8±0.50), 13-14 years (mean 13.9±0.50), and 15-16 years (mean 15.5±0....

Let Cn be the set of Dyck paths of length n. In this paper, by a new automorphism of ordered trees, we prove that the statistic ‘number of exterior pairs’, introduced by A. Denise and R. Simion, on the set Cn is equidistributed with the statistic ‘number of up steps at height h with h ≡ 0 (mod 3)’. Moreover, for m ≥ 3, we prove that the two statistics ‘number of up steps at height h with h ≡ 0 ...

The height of mechanical mixing layer is one of the parameter of the safety analysis report of any industrial (nuclear) facility due to its relation to the dispersion factor of pollutants. It can provide information about lower atmospheric dispersion, which is usually used to study the pollutants released from nuclear facility, risk analysis and emergency planning. Mixing layer height is diffic...
