Sentence examples for forest elements from inspiring English sources

This study proposes a new classification system for trees outside forest elements based on the shape and size of the patches and their location in fields.

We suggest that the river valleys and other local favorable sites were natural refugia where forest elements could survive even during the Last Glacial Maximum.

We also sampled forest structure in the landscape surrounding 75 of these sites to evaluate the contribution of remnant forests to the retention of native forest elements in the larger landscape.

Land-use options that incorporate coastal dune forest elements such as remnant forest patches in agricultural landscapes or active regeneration after anthropogenic disturbances may allow bird populations to persist beyond protected areas.

Biogeographic history in the Northern Hemisphere is complicated, but has usually been explained by the widespread distribution of the Boreotropical flora in the Eocene and followed by appearance of more temperate forest elements during the mid-Tertiary extirpations of thermophilic elements in response to climatic cooling episodes of the late Eocene and the Plio-Pleistocene [ 6- 11].

Although these non-forest wood elements are biotopes that have positive effects for the ecological stability of the landscape little is known about their long-term dynamics.

The method that was applied and based on the analysis of long-term structural changes in non-forest wood elements, using a (newly developed) classification system and relevant landscape characteristics has proved to be a suitable procedure for making a detailed description of long-term structural changes in non-forest wood elements in the landscape.

The newly developed knowledge of the historical impact of various landscape management practices on non-forest wood elements can be applied in landscape planning procedures (e.g. planning ecological networks) in order to ensure relevant landscape management in the future.
