The Influence of Vegetation Height Heterogeneity on Forest and Woodland Bird Species Richness across the United States
Avian diversity is under increasing pressures. It is thus critical to understand the ecological variables that contribute to large scale spatial distribution of avian species diversity. Traditionally, studies have relied primarily on two-dimensional habitat structure to model broad scale species richness. Vegetation vertical structure is increasingly used at local scales. However, the spatial a...
متن کاملSpecies composition, density and biomass of Rotatoria, Protozoa and Meroplanktons in the south of the Caspian Sea (Babolsar)
In this study, species composition, density and biomass of zooplanktons including Rotatoria, Protozoa and Meroplanktons were sampled using Juday net with mesh size of 100 µ at depths of 5, 10 and 20 meters in southern Caspian Sea (Babolsar) in two seasons of cold (Feb. 2015) and warm (June 2015) . This study identified Asplanchna sp. and Synchaeta sp. from Rotatoria, and Balanus sp., Pelecypoda...
متن کاملExperimental manipulation of soil depth alters species richness and co-occurrence in restored tallgrass prairie
1. In relatively fertile ecosystems, such as the tallgrass prairie, local species diversity is largely controlled by the competitive effects of community dominants. Despite the relative importance of soil resources in shaping competitive outcomes, we have a limited understanding of the ways by which plants partition below-ground space and resources while competing, and thus, how these interacti...
متن کاملMossbauer Spectra of Soil Kaolins from South-western Australia
-Six well-characterized soil kaolins from widely separated sites in south-western Australia and four reference kaolins were studied by 57Fe M6ssbauer spectroscopy at room temperature after removal of non-structurally-bound iron with dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate solution. The soil kaolins and one of the reference kaolins were also studied at temperatures near 16 K. The soil kaolins were remark...
متن کاملConsumer Species Richness and Autotrophic Biomass
We tested whether standing autotrophic (unicellular algal) biomass is sensitive to variation in initial consumer (nondecomposer, heterotrophic protistan) diversity in experimental microbial microcosms. Our results showed a strong, negative relationship between autotrophic biomass and consumer species richness. Additional microcosm experiments showed that this relationship was due largely to the...
