Sentence examples for diversity forest from inspiring English sources

Important indicators of species-rich forests were habitat diversity, forest age and forest area.

The biomass feedstock resource assessment, focused on low intensity, high diversity forest and agriculture in the proposed plant bioshed (<120 Km), has the potential to provide sustainable, dry biomass fuel well in excess of the maximum annual co-firing potential of 20% and offset as much as 1 Tgy−1 of the estimated annual 5.1 Tgy−1 of CO2 emissions (using 100% western coal).

Whether and in what manner the effects of vertebrate predation on intensity of arthropod herbivory can be quantified and associated with predator diversity, forest composition and tree age are of central importance for a deeper understanding of ecosystem processes and the role of diversity on its function.

Whilst it is realised that terrestrial conservation requires an understanding of landscape level patterns of diversity, forests are rarely assessed accordingly.

Martijena (1998) found that there were no significant differences in soil properties between the monodominant forest of Celaenodendron mexicanum and the adjacent high-diversity forest in Mexico [12].

In the studies of other monodominant forests, Nascimento & Proctor (1997) found no evidence that the soil determines the boundaries between the Peltogyne gracilipes-dominated forest and the adjacent high-diversity forest on Maraca Island, Brazil [11].

Soil characteristics have been hypothesised as one of the possible mechanisms leading to monodominance of Gilbertiodendron dewerei in some areas of Central Africa where higher-diversity forest would be expected.

Contradictory to the findings of Torti et al. (2001), Hart (1985) and Conway (1992), however, showed that there were no significant differences in the studied soil parameters (including nitrogen) between the G. dewevrei forest and the adjacent high-diversity forest in the same study area – Ituri – as Torti et al. (2001) [2], [10].

These monodominant forests exist alongside higher-diversity forests often with sharp boundaries.

In Central Africa, such low-diversity forests are often dominated by Gilbertiodendron dewevrei, a highly shade tolerant species that occurs across central Africa [2].

Here we investigate if the availability of nutrients for G. dewevrei uptake was different in comparison to the adjacent high-diversity forests.
