Green Corridors May Sustain Habitats for Earthworms in a Partially Converted Grassland

چکیده
Permanent grasslands provide a healthy and undisturbed environment. We investigated how mulching altered the soil physicochemical parameters, earthworm abundance, biomass, species composition vegetation cover compared to grassland cultivated alfalfa field. Microplots (2 × 2 m) were mulched with either weed control fabric (WF) alone or WF combined straw (WF + S) on grow tomato in ?sagárd (Nógrád county, Hungary) between 2018 2021. had two other microhabitats: conventionally field (CA) (GR). measured parameters (physical: moisture content (SMC), penetration resistance (SPR); chemical: pH, organic matter; biological: vegetation). SMC was significantly higher covered plots (WF; CA GR. SPR values highest GR at 20 cm depth. The abundance biomass of earthworms lowest all seasons. Plant highly influenced by season habitat. Despite compaction lower figures, grass still provided more suitable environment for than (WF, S). Therefore, where there is agricultural production grassland, we suggest leaving uncultivated uncovered patches as biodiversity corridors.

Urban Power Line Corridors as Novel Habitats for Grassland and Alien Plant Species in South-Western Finland
Regularly managed electric power line corridors may provide habitats for both early-successional grassland plant species and disturbance-dependent alien plant species. These habitats are especially important in urban areas, where they can help conserve native grassland species and communities in urban greenspace. However, they can also provide further footholds for potentially invasive alien sp...
متن کاملWild Ungulate Surveys in Grassland Habitats:
Surveying grassland ungulates presents unique problems to the researcher. Appropriate statistical methods exist, but applying them in the field invariably requires ingenuity and compromise. I describe line-transect surveys I conducted of 3 plateau grassland species in Qinghai province, focusing on underlying statistical assumptions and specific measures I took to deal with each. I also suggest ...

The role of green corridors for wildlife conservation in urban landscape: A literature review
Green corridors are an attempt to mitigate negative effects of the built environment of cities and towns. The corridors act as conservation for rapidly extreme intervention and development of the urban environment. Most importantly, it enables dispersal movement of animals within city areas. Issues relate to wildlife conservation in urban areas has been studied for many years and thus, the rese...
