Significance Identifying species assemblages that boost the provision of multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously (multifunctionality) is crucial to undertake effective restoration actions aiming at promoting biodiversity and high multifunctionality in a changing world. By disentangling effect traits on litter decomposition experiment, we show it possible identify across mixtures originating...

Given a rational lattice and suitable set of linear transformations, we construct a cousin lattice. Sufficient conditions are given for integrality, evenness and unimodularity. When the input is a Barnes-Wall lattice, we get multi-parameter series of cousins. There is a subseries consisting of unimodular lattices which have ranks 2d−1 ± 2d−k−1, for odd integers d ≥ 3 and integers k = 1, 2, · · ...

the aim of this study is to investigate the tree species' diversity in a region with no management planning and introduce the calculated indices as the norm for sustainability assessment. dbh of all tree individuals, and their stories were recorded in the inventory grid (75 m × 100 m) sample plots. subsequently, richness, evenness (simpson, smith & wilson) and heterogeneity (simpson, shann...

In this paper, a solution method for classical fair division problem utilizing cut-and-choose protocol has been examined and a new method has been suggested in order to eliminate the deficiencies of that method. Furthermore, the problem has been generalized and mathematical models have been written according to oddness or evenness of the number of persons and solution techniques have been given...

Forests are biologically diverse systems, representing some of the richest biological areas on Earth. They offer a variety of habitats for plants, animals and micro-organisms. However, forest biodiversity is increasingly threatened as a result of deforestation, fragmentation, climate change and other stressors. Biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or on t...
