The distribution of biodiversity at multiple sites of a region has been traditionally investigated
through the additive partitioning of the regional biodiversity into the average within‐site …

The article evaluates the dependence of the most common indices of species diversity on
sample size and determines their ability to differentiate between different types of …

Afforestation transforms the structure and functioning ability of an ecosystem. Converting a
bare landscape through afforestation may have positive and negative consequences to the …

In this chapter it is discussed, how the concept of diversity plays a crucial role in
contemporary (multi-objective) optimization algorithms. It is shown that diversity …

Aims This study aimed at classifying, mapping and describing the plant communities of the
Karoo National Park using floristic surveys in conjunction with Sentinel-2 and topo …

This study assessed the impact of phytoremediation on reducing the residual concentration
of metolachlor in soil treated with doses of 530.7 and 1061.4 g/ha and its effect on microbial …

Aims: This study identified, classified and mapped the different plant communities found on
the Telperion Nature Reserve. Study area: Telperion Nature Reserve, Mpumulanga, South …

We introduce here a new index of diversity based on consideration of reasonable
propositions that such an index should have in order to represent diversity. The behaviour of …

The distribution of biodiversity at multiple sites of a region has been traditionally investigated
through the additive partitioning of the regional biodiversity, called γ-diversity, into the …

Abstract Changes in species diversity have been widely used in environmental monitoring
and global change studies as an indicator of vegetation change over time. High mountain …
