Plant scientists propose new classification system for European vegetation
2016-12-05 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Experts have presented a new classification system for vegetation in Europe that aims to standardize classifications across the continent and aid the European Union Nature Information System, which brings together data for nature resource management and conservation, land planning, education, and environmental policy implementation. As they worked on the project for more than 15 years, plant ecologists evaluated approximately 10,000 bibliographic sources to revise previous…

Hidden, local climate impacts of drought-friendly vegetation
2016-08-06 07:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: To address the recent drought in California, policymakers have created incentives for homeowners to replace existing lawns with drought tolerant vegetation. However, new research from George Ban-Weiss, an assistant professor in the Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, has found that these efforts might have some hidden consequences on local climate. Ban-Weiss and post-doctoral scholar Pouya Vahmani used a model of the Los Angeles basin...

Vegetation in Russian Arctic has memory
2016-06-27 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The permafrost regions in the Arctic are among those areas of the world in which the temperature is rising particularly fast due to climate change. However, biologists are currently observing that the tree vegetation is only minimally adapting to these changes. In those areas where pine and spruce trees should be growing according to the air temperature, the Siberian larch is still thriving. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam (AWI) and the University...
