Vegetation and Disturbance

Abstract: This paper focuses on fire and grazing with an emphasis on work in Mediterranean environments. Fire and grazing accounted for more variation than the combination of all other environmental and spatial variables. Fire and grazing may have antagonistic effects over relatively short timescales. Grazing reduces plant growth and removes available fuel, thus reducing the intensity of fire, and their combined effect is thus less than expected from the sum of their individual impacts. The modelling exercises in this c… Show more

“…Different growth rates between fenced and open plots in species such as C. salvifolius , M. communis , R. ulmifolius , and U. jussiaei can be explained by different reasons. Species of genus Rubus are known for being strongly preferred by deer because of the palatability and the high protein content of its leaves (Bugalho & Milne ; Mazzoleni et al ; Boulanger et al ). Ulex jussiaei has also been referred to be part of deer diet at TNM (Mazzoleni et al ).…”

Ulex jussiaei has also been referred to be part of deer diet at TNM (Mazzoleni et al ). Similarly M. communis was also mentioned by Lovari et al () as strongly preferred by deer, and Ammar et al () classify it as a medium–high digestibility species.…”

“…Therefore, even a relatively long period, say 10  years of experimental duration, may not reveal major changes taking place in a multi-decadal time scale. We deliberately chose Markov models to explore the link between medium-and long-term patterns because they are the simplest type of successional model (Mazzoleni et al 2004). As stochastic models, they aggregate most of the underlying interactions and processes driving the community dynamics in the transition matrix, even if that processes are not fully identified.…”

“…Since it indicates the leaf density solely of trees or the stand canopy, LAI plays a considerable role in multiple areas associated with botany (Bréda 2003;Kalácska et al 2005), forestry (Waring & Running 2007;Perry et al 2008), hydrology (Ward & Robinson 2000;Komatsu 2005;Ö ztü rk et al 2013), meteorology (Bonan 2008), the environment (Zhang et al 2004), agriculture (Gower et al 1999) and overall landscape ecology (Bonan et al 2002;Mazzoleni et al 2004). …”
