SHRUB VEGETATION [13 records]

Record 1 2021-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
CONT

Eutric Brunisol(EB). These are brunisolic soils that have a relatively high degree of base saturation as indicated by their pH and lack a well-developed mineral-organic surface horizon. They occur mainly on parent material of high base status under forest or shrub vegetation in a wide range of climates.

OBS

eutric brunisol; EB: designations used in the Canadian System of Soil Classification.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
CONT

Brunisol eutrique (BE). Ces sols brunisoliques ont un degré de saturation en bases relativement élevé, comme l'indique leur pH, mais n'ont pas d'horizon de surface organo-minéral bien développé. On les trouve surtout sur des matériaux parentaux à contenu élevé en bases, sous une végétation de forêt ou d'arbrisseaux, dans une grande variété de climats.

OBS

brunisol eutrique; BE : désignations employées dans le Système canadien de classification des sols.

Shrub tundra is the major vegetation type of mesic(moderately moist) environments in the southernmost latitudes of the tundra zone. It is especially abundant in the broad amphi-Atlantic portion of the Low Arctic from the Canadian and European Arctic to the Taymyr Peninsula, whereas in eastern Siberia and the amphi-Beringian sector tussock tundra is more abundant.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
  • Culture of Fruit Trees
CONT

Beating. A standard tray... or beating sheet... is placed beneath a suitable unit of vegetation(e. g., shrub, branch, etc.). The collector then "beats" the vegetation and collects all the arthropods that drop into the tray when disturbed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
  • Animaux nuisibles aux cultures
  • Arboriculture fruitière
DEF

[...] échantillonnage des insectes des arbres fruitiers qui consiste à frapper des branches et à recueillir les insectes dans un entonnoir ou sur une nappe.

CONT

La surveillance [du psylle du poirier] repose [...] sur le prélèvement d'échantillons de feuilles ou de rameaux et sur leur examen à la loupe ou au microscope. Pour détecter la présence du psylle adulte ainsi que d'autres insectes, on effectue un échantillonnage par gaulage, c.-à-d. qu'on utilise des plateaux dans lesquels on recueille les insectes qui tombent lorsqu'on frappe les arbres avec une gaule.

CONT

Araignées capturées par frappage d'arbres fruitiers.

The structure of the vegetation in terms of layers, heights and spacing between trees.

CONT

The vegetation structure for each stratum is defined by describing the vegetation in terms of the growth form, height and cover(e. g. vegetation which is shrub, less than 2 m in height, with foliage cover 10-30% is classed as ’open shrubland’ under the National Vegetation Information System structural formation nomenclature).
