Therefore, SWC may be high in certain patches of the meadow and create environmental conditions conducive for methanogenic microorganisms, but low in other microsites across the grassland.
It is possible that methane emissions from a small stream and adjacent wet patches of the meadow, that are normally not part of the footprint, have contributed disproportionally to observed methane emissions.
Once the cylinder carefully settled on the sandy patch sediment of the meadow by a diver, the column water was collected inside owing to a fixed tube system at 5, 10, 20 and 40 cm above the sediment with 4 syringes.
Patch degradation of the alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) induced by climate warming and anthropogenic activities affects the pattern of coupled water and heat cycling between the land surface and the atmosphere, which could positively feedback to the regional and global climate warming.
You can choose the length to leave your grass so it's easy to create a patch of hay meadow for a few months if you feel like encouraging a more bee and butterfly-friendly environment.
Twenty four hours before starting the experiment, the base of the benthic chamber was carefully pushed in the sand of a small patch (20 cm) in the sediment of the meadow.
The litter bags were placed in a homogeneous patch of an adjacent meadow, thus quantifying the effect of community-specific litter composition and quality on decomposition processes, independent of differences in microenvironmental conditions induced by the experimental communities.
In the evenings, the peasants on the high slope may smoke a sheesha in a patch of meadow and look down on the city lights.
A bathymetrical succession of natural patches was outlined from the lower to the upper limit of the meadow, with a long-term dynamic opposed to a shorter one concerning anthropogenic patches.
It was a telling symbol, Lexington decided, sitting on his own patch of meadow while Iowa crickets and grasshoppers bounced on and off him.
