Methods of Managing Competing Vegetation

Category : Science

Pages : 579
Book Description
This book discusses advanced statistical methods that can be used to analyse ecological data. Most environmental collected data are measured repeatedly over time, or space and this requires the use of GLMM or GAMM methods. The book starts by revising regression, additive modelling, GAM and GLM, and then discusses dealing with spatial or temporal dependencies and nested data.
Plant Competition in a Changing World

Book Description
Competitiveness describes a key ability important for plants to grow and survive abiotic and biotic stresses. Under optimal, but particularly under non-optimal conditions, plants compete for resources including nutrients, light, water, space, pollinators and other. Competition occurs above- and belowground. In resource-poor habitats, competition is generally considered to be more pronounced than in resource-rich habitats. Although competition occurs between different players within an ecosystem such as between plants and soil microorganisms, our topic focusses on plant-plant interactions and includes inter-specific competition between different species of similar and different life forms and intra-specific competition. Strategies for securing resources via spatial or temporal separation and different resource needs generally reduce competition. Increasingly important is the effect of invasive plants and subsequent decline in biodiversity and ecosystem function. Current knowledge and future climate predictions suggest that in some situations competition will be intensified with occurrence of increased abiotic (e.g. water and nutrient limitations) and biotic stresses (e.g. mass outbreak of insects), but competition might also decrease in situations where plant productivity and survival declines (e.g. habitats with degraded soils). Changing interactions, climate change and biological invasions place new challenges on ecosystems. Understanding processes and mechanisms that underlie the interactions between plants and environmental factors will aid predictions and intervention. There is much need to develop strategies to secure ecosystem services via primary productivity and to prevent the continued loss of biodiversity. This Research Topic provides an up-to-date account of knowledge on plant-plant interactions with a focus on identifying the mechanisms underpinning competitive ability. The Research Topic aims to showcase knowledge that links ecological relevance with physiological processes to better understanding plant and ecosystem function.

Pages : 546
Book Description
Presents proceedings of a vegetation management conference focusing on alternative methods of vegetation control, ecosystem effects associated with vegetation management practices, and ecosystem management and its implications for forest vegetation management. Topics of presentations include plant competition, the Fallingsnow Ecosystem Project, conifer release treatments, effect of herbicides, forest regeneration, responses of specific tree species to management treatments, understory vegetation responses, hardwood species control, effects of tree spacing, use of biological indicators, effects on small mammals, residual effects of forestry herbicides on plant diversity, herbicide phytotoxicity, decision support systems, microbial control strategies, microclimatic changes following treatments, vegetation dynamics, use of prescribed burning, and the use of sheep in vegetation management. Includes author index.
