Entitled Lineside Asset Management Control Period 6 (CP6), the document's preferred option involves the "removal of all leaf fall species" within falling distance of the track, "intensive intervention" on vegetation in close proximity to the railway and the removal of emergent lower level growth at the earliest stage.
Agricultural land use surrounding wetlands was an important predictor for all four MMIs, although the soil, algae and water MMI models performed best when intensive (level 3) vegetation metrics were also included in the random forest regression models.
The continuous degradation of the vegetation, intensive cultivation, and low actual evapotranspiration pose a question: why is rainfall increasing on the valley floor?
Fighting in and near the poppy fields is often intensive in midspring, as vegetation grows thick and temperatures climb.
Deposition and expected impacts are highly spatially variable, with the edges of woodland and small "islands" of semi-natural vegetation in intensive agricultural areas being most at risk from enhanced deposition.
The use of less sensitive species, such as C. ferrea and M. tenuiflora, to restore native vegetation before intensive colonization by P. juliflora should be investigated as an effective approach for avoiding its continuous spread across the Caatinga region.
The combination of a spectral time-series analysis and object-based metrics based on high-resolution imagery enabled the classification of dynamic vegetation under intensive shifting cultivation and yielded an informative land cover map based on stand ages.
Lowland areas of the watershed were repeatedly reported as expansion of intensive agriculture which costs vegetation regeneration especially in dry season where crops were harvested and the field was left bare.
Besides intensive overgrazing on some vegetation zones, the recent introduction of mechanized farming to the area has been quoted by respondents as one of the main factors leading to the significant increase of bare land in the Butana area.
Nonetheless, most parks receive heavy use, resulting in widespread soil compaction and destruction of under-storey vegetation, despite intensive maintenance.
