Niche breadth and overlap of spotted deer and domestic cattle with swamp deer in tropical region of NepalEcological Processes - - 2022
Siddhartha Regmi, Bijaya Neupane, Bijaya Dhami, Deepak Gautam, Saroj Panthi, Megharaj Poudel
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

Assessing the bird guild patterns in heterogeneous land use types around Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, IndiaEcological Processes - Tập 9 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
Asha Sohil, Neeraj Sharma
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... hiện toàn bộ
Application of machine learning techniques to simulate the evaporative fraction and its relationship with environmental variables in corn cropsEcological Processes - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2022
Zenone, Terenzio, Vitale, Luca, Famulari, Daniela, Magliulo, Vincenzo
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... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat heterogeneity influences avian feeding guild composition in urban landscapes: evidence from Bhubaneswar, IndiaEcological Processes - Tập 10 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Bibhu Prasad Panda, B. Anjan Kumar Prusty, Biswajit Panda, Abanti Pradhan, Siba Prasad Parida
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... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of fertilization on radial growth of Pinus pinea explored hourly using dendrometersEcological Processes - Tập 13 - Trang 1-15 - 2024
Verónica Loewe-Muñoz, Rodrigo del Río Millar, Claudia Delard Rodriguez, Mónica Balzarini
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... hiện toàn bộ
Beyond neutrality: adding habitat filtering to neutral modelsEcological Processes - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Wasana Abeysinghe, Ruwan Punchi-Manage
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... hiện toàn bộ
Multi-temporal analysis of past and future land cover change in the highly urbanized state of Selangor, MalaysiaEcological Processes - Tập 11 - Trang 1-15 - 2022
Majid Azari, Lawal Billa, Andy Chan
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,

Human-climate induced drivers of mountain grassland over the last 40 years in Sidama, Ethiopia: perceptions versus empirical evidenceEcological Processes - Tập 7 - Trang 1-16 - 2018
Denbeshu Debeko, Ayana Angassa, Aster Abebe, Ashenafi Burka, Adugna Tolera
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... hiện toàn bộ
