Mapping native and non-native vegetation communities in a coastal wetland complex using multi-seasonal Sentinel-2 time series
Coastal wetland ecosystems support a wide range of native species; however, they are currently threatened by invasive plant species. The Point...

Dynamics of South Brazilian Grasslands During the Late Quaternary
In many parts of southern Brazil, mosaics of grassland and forests are found, but little is known how this vegetation pattern has been formed. Are...

Predicting end-of-season timing across diverse North American grasslands
Climate change is altering the timing of seasonal vegetation cycles (phenology), with cascading consequences on larger ecosystem processes....

A complex interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors shapes plant diversity patterns in Mediterranean coastal dunes
ContextA long history of human colonisation has profoundly altered Mediterranean coastal dunes, as well as their capacity of providing ecosystem...

Shrub encroachment of coastal ecosystems depends on dune elevation
Woody plant encroachment is influenced by interactions between the physical environment and vegetation, which create heterogenous microenvironments...
-
Coastal and Inland Sandy Dry Grassland
Sandy dry grasslands occur on the coasts and in the inland. In addition to the naturally occurring succession stages after disturbance, it is...
