Native shrubs facilitate the establishment of oak seedlings in opencast coal mines rehabilitated to pastures Northern Spain, under a Mediterranean sub-humid climate. We evaluate soil changes as one possible facilitative effects nurse shrubs. hypothesize that on mining soils can improve edaphic properties directly and indirectly by reducing negative trampling grazing ungulates. Thus, we assessed...

soil physical properties have an important role on vegetation growththrough affecting the development of root system. the aim of this study was toinvestigate the trampling effect of livestock grazing on soil physical properties andvegetation cover changes. the experiment was conducted on three range conditionsites (reference, key and critical area) with ten frequencies in hosseinabadekudistan i...

T 's a small world after all. At least, that's what the millions of tourists who take to the skies, roads, and paths each year to discover it are finding. Advances in technology and transportation and the emergence of a global economy are providing greater access for unprecedented numbers of travelers to explore the once-remote world around them. Directly and indirectly, however, tourism may of...

Experiments based on the premise of uniformitarism are an effective tool to establish patterns taphonomic processes acting either before, or after, burial. One process that has been extensively investigated experimentally is impact trampling large mammal bones. Since marks caused by sedimentary friction strongly mimic cut made humans using stone tools during butchery, distinguishing origin such...

Several trials have been carried out by various authors concerning autonomous mowers, which are battery-powered machines. The effects of these machines on turfgrass quality and energy consumption thoroughly investigated. However, there still some aspects that not studied. Among these, random trajectory overlapping is one the most important. To investigate aspects, two RTK-GPS devices along with...

This paper deals with the ethnoarchaeological analysis of the spatial pattern of artefacts and ecofacts within two traditional pastoral huts (a dwelling and a seasonal dairy) in the uplands of Val Maudagna (Cuneo province, Italian western Alps). The composition of the ethnoarchaeological assemblages of the two huts was studied and compared; point pattern analysis was applied to identify spatial...

to assess the effects of livestock grazing on soil compaction (density changes), the trampling action of livestock was simulated. the research field was located to the south west of nazarabad in savojbolagh district, south west of tehran province. samples were annually collected based on a completely randomized design. from the triple regions (reference, key and critical) 36 cylindrical cores w...
