Coastal marshes are important blue carbon reservoirs, but it is unclear how vegetation shifts associated with tidal restoration and sea level rise alter soil microbial respiration rates bacterial community composition. Within 20 Connecticut salt (10 without restrictions, 10 tidally restored), we sampled three zones dominated by Spartina alterniflora (short-form, < 30 cm tall), S. patens, Phragm...

Information on rhizosphere microbiome of endemic plants from high mountain ecosystems against those of cultivated plantations is inadequate. Comparative bacterial profiles of endemic medicinal plant Rhododendron arboreum Sm. subsp. delavayi rhizosphere pertaining to four altitudinal zonation Pankang Thang (PTSO), Nagula, Y-junction and Bum La (Indo-China border; in triplicates each) along cold ...

abstract this survey accomplished for asessment and mechanism recognition of chenaran watershed landslide effective factors and its zonation based via lim model. primarily recognized effective factors, through studing and field survey and evaluated by landslide index method(lim) then based on their weight in model, landslide hazard zonation was done.then evaluated this model competence in zonat...

We experimentally examined plant zonation in a previously unstudied Chilean salt marsh system to test the generality of mechanisms generating zonation of plants across intertidal stress gradients. Vertical zonation in this system is striking. The low-lying clonal succulent, Sarcocornia fruticosa, dominates the daily flooded low marsh, while intermediate elevations are dominated by the much tall...

In thepresent study,ArtificialNeuralNetwork (ANN)hasbeen implemented toderive ratingsof categories of causative factors, which are then integrated to produce a landslide susceptibility zonation map in an

The Government of Madagascar plans to increase marine protected area coverage by over one million hectares. To assist this process, we compare four methods for marine spatial planning of Madagascar's west coast. Input data for each method was drawn from the same variables: fishing pressure, exposure to climate change, and biodiversity (habitats, species distributions, biological richness, and b...
