Sentence examples for each successional from inspiring English sources

It is also suggested that consideration or manipulation of disturbance regimes in each successional stage is sometimes needed for maximum productivity or a designated goal of a restoration project because self-organizing patterns that result under disturbances vary depending on a system's maturity.

We also quantify the phylogenetic signals of N fixation and each successional index, which indicate the evolutionary conservatism of each trait.

We performed four separate analyses with the PICs for each successional index, one for each combination of phylogenetic extent (all FIA angiosperms or just the potentially N-fixing clade) and treatment of the N fixation trait (discrete vs. continuous).

We also used Phylocom to calculate the phylogenetic signal for each trait (N fixation and each successional index), i.e., the degree to which each trait is conserved across the phylogenies [40], [44], [45].

We used the Analysis of Traits module in Phylocom [40] to calculate PICs of and to test for evolutionary relationships between N fixation and each successional index for FIA angiosperm genera.

With N fixation modeled discretely, Phylocom treats each genus as an N fixer or a non-fixer (1 or 0) and calculates the unstandardized PICs of each successional index only on those nodes for which contrasting states of N fixation occur on at least two of the descendent nodes.

The age, abiotic environmental characteristics (position of water table, water pH, and substratum chemistry), as well as biotic characteristics (proportion of land cover categories up to 100 m, 300 m and 1 km from each sample, and the distance to the nearest undisturbed peatland vegetation) were assessed for each sampled successional stage.

Thus, it can be said that topography governs PD via controlling the distribution of each species, successional status and thus the strength of competition in this rugged terrain.

We accumulated route-level BBS data for four species guilds (canopy nesting, ground-shrub nesting, cavity nesting, early successional), each containing a minimum of five bird species.

In each horizon of both successional stages, the soil amino acid pool was dominated by glutamic acid, glutamine, alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, and histidine, which together accounted for approximately 80% of the total amino acids found.

In 2004, we established a chronosequence of abandoned cattle pastures and old-growth forest sites, which were assigned to four successional categories, each one with three sites: Pasture (0 3 years fallow age), Early (3 5 years), Intermediate (8 12 years), and Old-Growth Forest (without any human disturbance).
