The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status ...

Sensitivity of vegetation indices and gross primary production of tallgrass prairie to severe drought
Drought affects vegetation photosynthesis and growth.Many studies have used the normalized difference vegetation
index (NDVI), which is calculated as the normalized ratio between near infrared and red spectral bands ...
Forage potential of six leguminous green manures and effect of grazing on following grain crops
There is a need to design intensive cropping systems that can reap multiple benefits from annual forages including animal feed, soil fertility and weed control. Considering pea/oat (Pisum sativum cv. 40-10/Avena sativa cv. ...
Flume experimental evaluation of the effect of rill flow path tortuosity on rill roughness based on the Manning–Strickler equatio
Numerous soil erosion models compute concentrated flow hydraulics based on the Manning–Strickler equation
(v = kSt R2/3 I1/2) even though the range of the application on rill flow is unclear. Unconfined rill morphologies
generate ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
Productivity and nitrogen benefits of late-season legume cover crops in organic wheat production
When full-season cover crops are used in
stockless organic rotations, cash crop production is compromised. Including winter cereals in rotations can widen the
growing season window and create a niche for late-season cover ...
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Vegetation and Agricultural Crops
There are now over 40 years of research in hyperspectral remote sensing (or imaging spectroscopy) of vegetation and agricultural crops
(Thenkabail et al., 2011a). Even though much of the early research in hyperspectral ...
