Barrel cactuses and yuccas grew sparsely on the red-brown landscape.
Bryophytes appear to be more abundant and diverse beneath Phragmites where it grows sparsely and the substrate is wet but not long-flooded.
On one occasion I found larvae of Simyra insularis (Noctuidae; Henry's marsh moth), a native, generalist feeder, heavily grazing Phragmites leaf blades where it grew sparsely among Calamagrostis canadensis (bluejoint grass), but not in the adjoining dense Phragmites stands (Fig. 7).
However, some of the trees in an aggregated spatial tree distribution, growing in sparsely populated places or being surrounded by small trees, may grow better than a similar tree would grow in a regular stand, which postpones the financial maturity of these trees.
And if you cannot grow a real beard -- stop growing those sparsely populated patches on your face.
Cells were grown only sparsely in coated and non-coated BG-scaffolds.
Cells on CaP grew more sparsely instead of forming tight contact with each other).
Native haplotypes of P. australis tend to grow more sparsely with an admixture of other plants, compared with Old World Phragmites (E. Kiviat, unpubl. data).
On the other hand, individuals grew more sparsely so that competitive effects were weaker than in the typical and mesic Mediterranean regions.
In contrast, the more sparsely growing, shorter stiff shoots of Salicornia procumbens induced much less flow deviation, allowing more water to pass through and over the vegetation canopy.
