Vegetation responses to 26 years of warming at Latnjajaure Field Station, northern Sweden
(
NRC Research Press
, 2021 , Article)
Climate change is rapidly warming high latitude and high elevation regions influencing plant community composition. Changes in vegetation composition have motivated the coordination of ecological monitoring networks across ...
Effects of Climate and Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition on Early to Mid-Term Stage Litter Decomposition Across Biomes
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Litter decomposition is a key process for carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems and is mainly controlled by environmental conditions, substrate quantity and quality as well as microbial community abundance ...
Spatio-temporal variation in potential habitats for rare and endangered plants and habitat conservation based on the maximum entropy model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Rare and endangered plants (REPs) act as key indicators for species habitat priorities, and can thus be critical in global biodiversity protection work. Human activities and climate change pose great threats to REPs, so ...

Long-term assessment of onshore and offshore wind energy potentials of Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon in the atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is a matter of concern, especially in Qatar, where fossil ...
Sentinel-2 image transformation methods for mapping oil spill – A case study with Wakashio oil spill in the Indian Ocean, off Mauritius
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Although several indices have been constructed and available at the Index database (IDB) for Sentinel-2 satellite to map and study several earth resources, no indices have been developed to map oil spill. We constructed ...
