Sentence examples for plant patch from inspiring English sources

This work provides physically-based metrics of runoff redistribution from the plant patch areas toward the immediate surrounding bare soil areas, including the effect of plant roots and depression storage as influenced by various shapes of the plant patch slopes.

Just recently, the cleanup of some of last winter's debris in a small native plant patch turned up some emerging May apple plants, more than the few that had been planted.

The objective of this study is to characterize and quantify the overland flow generated from the plant patch areas of spotted vegetation toward the immediate surrounding bare ground including the coupled effects of preferential infiltration, surface roughness and depression storage.

For example, host plant patch sizes for LA and PRC are 35,857 m and 68,181 m, respectively.

A higher mobility would be beneficial for females as it would enable them to fly over wider areas searching for optimal host plants for their eggs (away from the natal drought-stressed host plant patch where they developed).

Populations sampled in both years from the same host plant patch were significantly genetically different between years of sampling (Bamaga 1 and 3 P = 0.043; Bamaga 2 and 4 P < 0.001; Dauan 1 and 3 P = 0.01).

In the same way, at patch and intrapatch scales, biotic interactions (i.e. plant –plant interactions, grazing) determine the size and the species composition of plant patches as well as the distribution of species inside plant patches.

Large herbivores select food at several spatial scales: plant communities are chosen at a landscape scale, plant patches are chosen within a plant community, and individual plants within a patch.

At the finest scale, the indices correctly reflected the higher infiltration and lower sediment production of plant patches as compared with bare-soil interpatches.

In a population of captured wild fallow deer we simulated a natural situation where two separate plant patches are exposed to intense herbivory pressure.

The latest findings bolster the idea that this scheme, known as "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation", or REDD, should cover not just forests but other plant patches, too.
