Small streams constitute the majority of the water courses in a catchment and have specific characteristics that distinguish them from larger streams and rivers. Despite their small size and frequently remote locations, small streams contribute to ecosystem services that are important for humans. Here, ...
Legehida district is one of the rural districts of the Amhara National Regional State. It is in the northeastern part of the Amhara National Regional State, South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia, lying between 10° 49′ 48″ N latitude and between 39°22′ 12″ E longitude. The district has an al...
The floating mat vegetation consists of tall emergent macrophytes; mosses, in particular Sphagnum spp., are conspicuously absent and shrubs are infrequent. Although species dominance shifts over short distances on the mat, four community types can be recognized: (1) Menyanthes trifoliata, (2) Carex...
A layer of one to two inches of shredded bark mulch spread around the shrub’s root zone (but not right against the base of the trunk) helps retain soil moisture and restrict weed competition. As you can see, the process of planting dwarf flowering shrubs is far easier than planting large...
Figure 4. ENVI-met simulation 3D model. Both the Albero module and the DB Manager module from ENVI-met were used for the vegetation component. Grass and shrubs were modeled using DB Manager’s Simple Plants feature. For tree modeling, the Albero module for 3D plant modeling was employed. ...
Having a small yard does not mean that you can't plant trees. Many trees grow no larger than 30 feet, and many shrubs can stand in for trees. Here is a list of small trees and tall shrubs for your landscaping.
Conservation and management of small mammals requires reliable knowledge of population size. We investigated precision of mark-recapture and removal abundance estimates generated from live-trapping and snap-trapping data collected at sites on Guam (n = 7), Rota (n = 4), Saipan (n = 5),...
The importance of salinity to small-scale distribution patterns was examined for three shrubs common on barrier islands of the southeastern United States. Field measurements focused on the salt marsh - upland interface zone on Hog Island... Donald R. Young, , David L. Erickson, and , Shawn W...

The ecological conservation of large rivers is impossible unless immediate attention is given to protecting their small tributaries at local levels. The natural boundaries of large river basins are shrinking because their tributaries and streams of diffe
