Herbivory by domestic and wild ungulates is a major driver of global vegetation dynamics. However, grazing is not considered in dynamic global vegetation models, or more generally in studies of the effects of environmental ...

The cerrado is the most extensive savanna ecosystem of South America and a biodiversity hotspot, harboring a diverse flora ([7,000 species) with high levels of endemism. More than 50 % of the cerrado's approximately 2 ...

Urbanization is a global phenomenon with still unknown consequences for vegetation dynamics of urban ecosystems, especially in subtropical areas of developing countries. In this paper we analyze the vegetation productivity ...

The analysis of temporal geospatial data has provided important insights into global vegetation dynamics, particularly the interaction among different variables such as precipitation and vegetation indices. Nevertheless, ...

Aim It has been suggested that predicting species distributions requires a processbased and preferably dynamic approach. If dynamic models are to contribute towards understanding species distributions, uncertainties ...
