Nitrogen leaching losses at harvest may be most effectively reduced by rapid establishment of a vegetation cover after harvesting (Dyck et al. 1983Parfitt et al. 2003).
The ancient Greek Thargelia festival, one of the primary rites dedicated to Apollo at Athens, was a vegetation ritual named after the first bread baked from the newly harvested wheat.
After a period of vegetation improvement (steppe) from 2900 to 2460 14C years BP, a desert-steppe resumed (2460 2020 14C years BP).
They keep instruments at a site for only a year or two; after that the vegetation will have grown back enough to help stabilize the soils.
A Kansas police department is facing allegations of racism after a black man used his cellphone to record two white officers yanking him out of a vehicle after seeing "vegetation" on his window.
Temmerman et al. (2012) showed that after cutting marsh vegetation over a relatively large area (4 ha) the flow velocity on the platform increased by a factor of 2 to 4, thus decreasing dramatically the travel time of water parcels.
These wetlands, known as The Reedbeds after the dominant vegetation, occupied a large area of the western Adelaide Plains and was also fed by other waterways.
Together, these data already cover a large spatial and environmental extent, even after selecting vegetation plots that have been collected in a comparable way.
After two vegetation cycles, erosion on an untreated control plot was on average 2.2 times lower in the cut slopes and 3.5 times in the fill slopes compared to plots hydroseeded with sewage sludge.
After a major deterioration in vegetation between ∼ 4370 to ∼ 3270 14C yr BP, the study area experienced improved moisture conditions between ∼ 3270 to ∼ 1450 14C yr BP, followed by a persistent deterioration of vegetation under a drying climate during the past ∼ 1500 years.
In the cultivated fields SOC and SON contents were higher and comparable to contents in the older abandoned fields, because the recovery of the natural vegetation after a long-term period of abandonment equalized the nutrient conditions in the cultivated fields that had regular additions of manure.
