DOI: 10.1007/s11252-019-00839-9
Abstract: The process of expansion of human settlements commonly occurs without proper urban planning, which can directly affect green areas located within cities and adjacent areas. This study focuses on: (1) a spatiotemporal analysis to quantify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.03.017
Abstract: Abstract Vegetation structure and composition of woodlands in the Mediterranean Basin have experienced extensive land-use change during recent decades. Decline in traditional foraging by goats is leading to more closed and spatially homogeneous woody vegetation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2020.111810
Abstract: The increasing impact of humans on land and ongoing global population growth requires an improved understanding of land cover (LC) and land use (LU) processes related to settlements. The heterogeneity of built-up areas and infrastructures… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su12083461
Abstract: Natural grasslands are threatened globally. In south-eastern Australia, remnants of critically endangered natural grasslands are increasingly being isolated in urban areas. Urbanisation has led to reduced fire frequency and woody plant encroachment in some patches.… read more here.

Determinants of Aboveground Carbon Storage of Woody Vegetation in an Urban–Rural Transect in Shanghai, China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Sustainability"
DOI: 10.3390/su15118574
Abstract: Carbon storage of urban woody vegetation is crucial for climate change mitigation. Biomass structure and species composition have been shown to be important determinants of carbon storage in woody vegetation. In this study, allometric equations… read more here.
