More than half of the ecotone area was prairie, which is now dominated by agriculture, with some residential development. The 16% of the landscape that was pine savanna is now forest or shrubs, agriculture, perennial vegetation under the Conservation Reserve Program, or developed; no savanna now...
Lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) numbers havedeclined considerably in Texas since the early 1900s. As with other prairie chickenspecies, reasons for declining ranges and numbers have been attributed primarily todegradation and fragmentation of habitats. Until my study, no telem...
Distribution and abundance of littoral benthic fauna in Canadian prairie saline lakes into smaller groups of lakes based on factors such as pH, seasonality (spring or summer species dominance), % organic matter and % plant cover. Depth... UT Hammer,JS Sheard,J Kranabetter - Springer Netherlands...
The spectral signatures of photosynthetically and non-photosynthetically active vegetation showed obvious differences and could be utilised to estimate the forage quantity and quality of grass prairie. The growing availability of satellite multispectral imagery at medium (10–30 m) to high (0.5–4 m) ...

Results improve understanding of relationships between biocrust-associated soil cover heterogeneity and plant diversity and highlight the promise of high-resolution UAS data to extrapolate these patterns over larger landscapes which could improve conservation planning and predictions of dryland responses to soi...
Understanding spatial and temporal variation in land use and land cover is a topic that bridges a variety of disciplines such as ecology, geography, sociology, and economics. Land-use and land-cover change has major impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem.
