USING IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY TO ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF INVASIVE PLANTS ON ABOVEGROUND AND BELOWGROUND CHARACTERISTICS

Using imaging spectroscopy to assess the impacts of invasive plants on aboveground and belowground characteristics

Invasive plants are threats to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services.Previous studies have reported that the impacts of biological invasions on ecosystem characteristics can be scale- and ecosystem-dependent.Current methods to assess the impacts of biological invasions have mainly focused on traditional field observations, limiting the

Visualization of blood vessels by corrosion technique

Corrosion technique is one of the basic and widely used methods of visualization of vascularization of organs in the anatomy of humans and animals.It consists in filling vascular (blood or lymph), wires or cavernous organs material, e.g., injection.Mass based on wax or putty material based on rubber, synthetic resin and subsequently etching the sof
