“…This result was in accordance with Ispirli et al (2016). Many researchers also have investigated the effects of environmental factors on vegetation change (Zhang & Dong 2009;Mofidi et al 2012;Surmen et al 2013;Zhengchao et al 2016).…”

This study was carried out in order to compare in 20 different rangeland sample areas that determined in order to environmental variables, vegetation and soil properties by multivariate ordination analysis in Mugla province. Cluster analysis was made to determine the similarity and species compositions of sample areas, and as a result of this analysis, three different groups have occurred. Additionally, detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) was made after the indicator species analysis. The interaction between environmental and soil-borne factors as altitude, distance to village, soil depth, pH in saturated soil with water, lime and surface stoniness were found to be significant and this significance was expressed by graphs. Moreover, it was indicated that relationship with species in the vegetation of the variables that were determined as significant by tables and figures. The relationship with the species in the vegetation of the variables that were determined as significant was also indicated. The result of the study showed that environmental variables as soil depth, soil pH saturated with water, stony surface, altitude and distance to villages had a significant effect on the species diversity and distribution in the samples areas.

“…Regional climate change, that has recently been identified as a critical component in global terrestrial ecosystem change, is particularly vulnerable to vegetation (Yang and Piao, 2006;Kelly et al, 2011;Li et al, 2019). As a result of climate change, vegetation's reaction to various climate conditions varies drastically from one site to the next, particularly in dry and semiarid regions (Zhengchao et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2014). Variations in the geographical and temporal distribution of vegetation indicate ecological features that are important for natural resource research and management.…”

Climate change is a critical worldwide concern that affects every aspect of existence and all living beings. The study of climate change's impact on invasive species has piqued the interest of researchers worldwide due to the possible ramifications for biodiversity and vulnerable species protection. Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud. (Poaceae) is regarded as one of the most crucial invaders with a high tolerance for climate change impacts, particularly increased salinity, temperature, and atmospheric CO 2 , which may alter the surrounding ecosystems, and its uncontrolled spread may result in biodiversity deterioration. Because of its ecological importance and applications, common reed requires sustainable management to reap the majority of its benefits without damaging the environment, which requires a thorough understanding of its behavior in light of climate change. The following review article intends to investigate the response of the common reed to significant climate change factors including as salinity, temperature, and atmospheric CO 2 in Egypt, as well as to highlight rehabilitation solutions. Therefore, it is projected that the common reed population would continue to grow under the current climate change key drivers in Egypt, necessitating greater mitigation and adaption procedures from the government, academia, and society.

“…Survival rates for trees in regions where the GGP was implemented were only 24% [9]. The GGP ignored the climate and topographical factors that affect vegetation survival [10,11]. Therefore, exploring the relationship between vegetation coverage variation and climate and topographical factors will be essential to maintaining vegetation cover over time.…”

Since the beginning of the 21st century in Shaanxi Province, China, ecological restoration has increased fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and decreased soil and water erosion. The climate and topography will be critical factors for maintaining vegetation coverage in the future. Based on the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data, we monitored FVC variations in Shaanxi Province, China, as well as in three subregions of the Loess Plateau (LOP), Qinling–Bashan Mountain (QBM), and Guanzhong Plain (GZP). Using Sen+Mann–Kendall, correlation analysis, and geodetector methods, we detected trends and responses to climate change and topographical characteristics in Shaanxi Province from 2000 to 2018. The results indicated that 73.86% of the area in Shaanxi Province exhibited an increasing FVC with a growth rate of 0.0026 year−1 from 2000 to 2018. The FVC in the three subregions varied, as QBM (87.24–91.47%) > GZP (47.45–66.93%) > LOP (36.33–49.74%), which displayed a significant increase, slight increase, and slight decrease, respectively. The variation of FVC was significantly positively correlated with climate factors (precipitation, temperature, sunshine duration) at monthly and seasonal scales. The time-lag duration between FVC and climate factors was 1–3 months except for the conjunctional areas of GZP with the LOP and QBM, which exhibited a time-lag of 5–6 months. Topographically, the landform of hills had the highest FVC increase at an altitude of 500–1500 m and a slope of 2°–6°. The dominant driving factors affecting FVC variation in Shaanxi Province and LOP area were climatic factors. In the QBM area, the dominant factors were related to topography (relief, elevation, slope), whereas in the GZP area, they were relief and sunshine duration. We can conclude that local topography characteristics are important in implementing revegetation projects because they strongly influence water, temperature, and sunshine redistribution.
