Niche breadth and overlap of spotted deer and domestic cattle with swamp deer in tropical region of Nepal
Ecological Processes - - 2022
Knowledge about the niche overlap among wild species and domestic cattle is helpful to conserve and manage wildlife. We assessed the habitat niche breadth and overlap of sympatrically living spotted deer (Axis axis) and domestic cattle with swamp deer (Cervus duvaucelii) in Shuklaphanta National Park, Nepal during the dry season to explore the possibility of interspecific competition by studying t......
Assessing the bird guild patterns in heterogeneous land use types around Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Ecological Processes - Tập 9 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
Land-use sprawl in the Himalayas has caused the conversion of natural habitat into human-modified habitats, thus degrading ecosystem health. Adaptation of birds to changing physical environment can be well understood by analyzing their habitat preferences, and foraging dynamics explored to a limited extent in the Himalayan region, as yet. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of avian guild str......
Application of machine learning techniques to simulate the evaporative fraction and its relationship with environmental variables in corn crops
Ecological Processes - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2022
The evaporative fraction (EF) represents an important biophysical parameter reflecting the distribution of surface available energy. In this study, we investigated the daily and seasonal patterns of EF in a multi-year corn cultivation located in southern Italy and evaluated the performance of five machine learning (ML) classes of algorithms: the linear regression (LR), regression tree (RT), suppor......
Habitat heterogeneity influences avian feeding guild composition in urban landscapes: evidence from Bhubaneswar, India
Ecological Processes - Tập 10 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Habitat heterogeneity clearly distinguished in terms of availability of food and habitat resources and landscape features (natural or human-modified) play a crucial role in the avian species composition and population structure. To examine this, a study was carried out in Bhubaneswar, India, to understand the ecological niche distinction in birds based on habitat heterogeneity. Regular sampling wa......
Effects of fertilization on radial growth of Pinus pinea explored hourly using dendrometers
Ecological Processes - Tập 13 - Trang 1-15 - 2024
Stone pine (Pinus pinea), a drought-resistant species, has significant socio-economic benefits and increasing interest for the establishment of productive plantations in several countries, especially in a climate change context. Monitoring hourly stem diameter variations contributes to the understanding of the tree-growth response to changes in environmental conditions and management. By monitorin......
Structural development of vegetation on rehabilitated North Stradbroke Island: Above/belowground feedback may facilitate alternative ecological outcomes
Ecological Processes - Tập 2 - Trang 1-17 - 2013
This study depicts broad-scale revegetation patterns following sand mining on North Stradbroke Island, south-eastern Queensland, Australia. Based on an ecological timeline spanning 4–20 years post-rehabilitation, the structure of these ecosystems (n = 146) was assessed by distinguishing between periods of ‘older’ (pre-1995) and ‘younger’ (post-1995) rehabilitation practices. The general rehabilita......
Spatially explicit estimation of soil organic carbon stock of an estuarine mangrove wetland of eastern India using elemental analysis and very-fine resolution satellite data
Ecological Processes - Tập 11 - Trang 1-16 - 2022
This study estimated the total soil organic C (SOC) stock of the wetland influence zone of Bichitrapur mangroves in eastern India in a spatially explicit manner. Both spatial and vertical distribution of SOC densities with respect to land use/land cover (LULC) pattern were assessed. Subsequently, some site-specific management strategies were forwarded towards enhancement of C sequestration potenti......
Beyond neutrality: adding habitat filtering to neutral models
Ecological Processes - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Understanding the processes that structure species is one of the primary focuses in community ecology. Hubbell’s neutral model shows stochastic processes alone can describe the two macro-ecological patterns, species richness and species-area relationship, of the community. Although Hubbell’s neutral model can explain the macro-ecological patterns of the species at large scales, it paid less attent......
Multi-temporal analysis of past and future land cover change in the highly urbanized state of Selangor, Malaysia
Ecological Processes - Tập 11 - Trang 1-15 - 2022
This study analysed the multi-temporal trend in land cover, and modelled a future scenario of land cover for the year 2030 in the highly urbanized state of Selangor, Malaysia. The study used a Decision Forest-Markov chain model in the land change modeller (LCM) tool of TerrSet software. Land cover maps of 1999, 2006 and 2017 were classified into 5 classes, namely water, natural vegetation, agricul......
Human-climate induced drivers of mountain grassland over the last 40 years in Sidama, Ethiopia: perceptions versus empirical evidence
Ecological Processes - Tập 7 - Trang 1-16 - 2018
Mountain grasslands are globally important ecosystems. They are considered as heritage sites with “outstanding values” to ecological communities by adding a further “layer and support to the existing protection measures.” However, mountain grasslands are increasingly under threat from human activities and impacts of climate change. Using satellite imagery, we studied land use/land cover (LULC) pat......
