racemosa shrubs depends on their size, and nearly all (>90%) of the mature (reproducing) individuals were found in gaps or near gaps. But wide seed dispersal by birds and the ability to form both seed banks and seedling banks, the latter of which has been regarded as a common ...
In the event that maintenance respiration exceeds total heterotrophic respiration, microbial mortality occurs. Mortality also occurs under first-order decay rates. The key algorithms governing the modeling of ecological responses to warming in tundra soils have been described recently13,14, and the ...
Low body mass and low metabolic requirements of goats are important qualities that enable them to minimize their maintenance and water requirements, in areas where water sources are widely distributed and food sources are limited by their quantity and quality. An ability to reduce metabolism allows ...
The energy demand during this period is low. Feed intake should only cover maintenance and pregnancy. Body condition should be watched closely. Thin cows should be allowed to fatten. Suitable feedstuffs are large amounts of long roughages (hay and ad-lib straw). Transition Period: The transiti...
However, once sand movement begins, its maintenance requires a lower stress value, referred to as the “dynamic threshold” [40,41]. Both the static and the dynamic thresholds were estimated following the Bagnold formulation [40] (Equation (1)). The critical wind speeds at 10 m corresponding...
SRCs are characterised by low management intensity, reduced pesticide use, and long-term soil dormancy. Therefore, SRCs can potentially contribute to the maintenance of ground beetle and arachnid species diversity in agricultural landscapes. One aim of this study was to clarify whether SRCs have ...
Only in the first year you have some low costs. After one year, you never have costs anymore. Mother Nature has always been able to grow without irrigation. The Waterboxx® and Growboxx® don’t need energy to be used and minimum maintenance. It will save you a lot of money!...
(Riva and Fahrig2023). Thus, the active maintenance of clearings (even those naturally formed by falling of dead trees; Uhl et al.2023), through for example ride widening in closed forest, could serve as a valuable tool for preserving biodiversity in temperate woodlands even in a long-term...
The results of the FGD were the determination of fast-growing timber species, determination of farmers’ lands for planting, implementation of planting, maintenance and evaluation of measurements. The seeds of G. arborea, N. cadamba and A. mangium were collected from a community forest in ...
Historically, these open pine ecosystems contained a diverse ground cover composed of native warm-season grasses and forbs, often with some low shrubs and only sparse tall shrubs. These open conditions were maintained by natural processes, including fires and grazing. These ecosystems are to be ...
