The results showed that different types of grasslands led to different runoff generation regimes; namely, runoff varied linearly with precipitation in alpine swamp, whereas in alpine meadow, runoff exhibited an exponential precipitation-dependence.
Ecologist Mahesh Sankaran and his colleagues at Syracuse University in New York surveyed 72 plots in three different types of savanna grasslands in India's Western Ghat Mountains, varying in biodiversity from as few as 10 plant species to as many as 50.
However, the simple scaling up of such results to explain conditions on a large field scale, across agricultural landscapes under varied management scenarios, or across landscapes made up of different types of ecosystems (agricultural, grassland, forest), is very much constrained by a lack of information about the spatiotemporal distribution of earthworm populations.
Brazil, China, and India were considered among the overseas locations where land use change would occur as a result of diverting U.S. corn cropland, and it was assumed that new cropland in each of these regions correspond to different types of forest, savanna or grassland based on the historical proportion of each converted to cultivation in these countries during the 1990s.
Therefore, it has been suggested that arthropod diversity can best be conserved at the landscape scale by maintaining grasslands under different types of management in close proximity (Dennis et al., 1997; Morris, 2000; Kruess & Tscharntke, 2002 b 2002b; Rickert et al., 2012).
We carried out spatial partitioning of three different types of land use (orchards, deciduous woodlands and grasslands) with radii ranging from 200 m to 3200 m.
Favourable habitat condition was predicted by presence of different types of grazing management, presence of woodland around patches of calcareous grassland and shape complexity.
China has been trying to rid the country of pikas since at least 1958 — employing a range of different types of poisons — believing the animal to be a pest that has ruined the natural grasslands it resides in.
Our goal was to identify a fast and enough precise method to determine the fatty acids in forage from permanent grassland in order to monitor the changes in their status by applying different types of fertilization.
The study found that different types of habitat had lost more biodiversity where they were biomes that humans lived in, such as grasslands.
