Our data showed vegetation responses indicative of channel and floodplain evolution at Pattengail.
We scored two other site-specific factors, the presence of nearby water sources and vegetation types indicative of moisture [ 34- 36].
We listed the five most common plant species at each site (determined visually) and scored sites for vegetation types indicative of moisture.
Further, a number of vegetation units are indicative of forest vegetation ranging from lowland to upland forests dominated by woody angiosperms and mixed coniferous-angiosperm forests.
Such changes in the course of the vegetation season are indicative of ACS processes within foliage (Pell et al. 1999; Günthardt-Goerg and Vollenweider 2007).
While all δ13C values are indicative of vegetation using the C3 synthetic pathway, δ13C values of the palaeosols that formed during the eruption (Hiwegi and Kiahera) show more 13C-enriched values compared with the pre-volcanic palaeosols (Wayondo).
We found that EVI was very indicative of vegetation structure because of its sensitivity to shadowing effects and could thus be used to separate conifer forests from deciduous forests and grass/crop lands.
The vegetation index values are indicative of preponderance of herbaceous plants in the formation of these coals.
The Vegetation Index values are indicative of preponderance of herbaceous plants in the formation of the coals.
