An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
area as a whole. Occurrence data were obtained from an open-access presence-only database of validated observations of vascular plants. These occurrence data were combined with environmental covariates ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
observations of vascular plants. These occurrence data were combined with environmental covariates in MaxEnt models. Tree diversity was modelled by adding up the individual species distribution models. Models in ...
In vitro toxicity, genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of Nigella sativa extracts from different geographic locations
against a great variety of illnesses. However, plants growing at different locations, i.e., coping with different environmental stress conditions, may have different contents of specialized compounds ...
