Sentence examples for increasing invader cover from inspiring English sources

The recently developed Near-Infrared Vegetation Index (NIRV), which is related to Gross Primary Production (GPP), increased linearly and significantly with increasing invader cover.

Many of the studies we reviewed imply invasion resistance by showing increased invader abundance or competitive performance following reduction of stressors.

Support has not increased to cover opportunity.

Compositional stability increased as cover of Bouteloua increased and decreased as cover of Larrea increased.

When the invader's cover is blown, the bacterium masks itself by ditching its genetic identification, setting the stage for a quiet and deadly invasion.

Interacting species within soil communities may coevolve over time, increasing resistance to the invader with time since invasion (Lankau 2010).

Because many invader populations are increasing (ro > 1) whereas those of many native taxa are not, and rapid population growth enhances the opportunities for rapid evolution (Reznick and Ghalambor 2001), invaders may evolve more rapidly than the native taxa they affect.

Further, while the number of total invaders was increased in 2006 (+111%), grass invader biomass was slightly decreased in presence of tall herbs in 2005 (−3%; not shown).

Similarly, plant invader diversity also decreased with increasing plant functional group richness in 2006 from 3.41±0.14 invader species in single plant functional group treatments to 2.56±0.11, 2.19±0.13, and 2.12±0.10 invader species in mixtures with two, three and four plant functional groups, respectively (F3,34 = 4.78, P = 0.007).

Moreover, increasing plant functional group richness decreased plant invader diversity significantly in 2005 from 2.23±0.13 invader species in single plant functional group treatments to 1.31±0.13, 0.63±0.08, and 0.81±0.06 invader species in mixtures with two, three and four plant functional groups, respectively (F3,34 = 8.70, P<0.001).

Therefore, the potential long-term effects of modern invasive species include lack of new species forming, increased resistance of invaders to extinction, and ultimately faunal homogenization.
