Romanian pastures are very similar to how Britain would have once looked; we should set our standard for wildflowers to this, not the degraded grasslands that are our roadsides and margins.
Ecology: Roadsides, pastures, forest margins, woodlands, persisting near old homesites; Elevation: < 1000 m.
In areas where it has been introduced however, this species tends to form dense impenetrable thickets and readily invades forest margins, roadsides, wastelands, riparian areas and agricultural lands.
In areas where it has been introduced however, this species tends to form dense impenetrable thickets and readily invades forest margins, roadsides, wastelands, riparian areas and agricultural lands (McNeely, 1999).
Ecology: Roadside ditches, wet meadows, pond margins; Elevation: < 1000 m.
In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in particular, impoverished Guarani Indians live in crowded reservations, crammed between immense soy, sugar and cattle farms, or clinging to the margins in squalid roadside camps.
But it is a highly cash-generative business; it is the biggest operator in a market where size brings clear advantages; and profit margins on the main roadside assistance business were close to 50% at the trading level last year.
Found in: Open pasture, roadsides, lawns and woodland margins.
This contrasted with the musings of village women increasingly bearing the brunt of internal colonialism's policies of displacement and assimilation of pastoralists, squatting for hours at roadside stalls selling wares at near-zero profit margins to support husbands back home mired in hopelessness and the malaise of the dispossessed, colonized man.
The scatter plots in Fig. 2 show that whilst at background locations the model performs reasonably well, under predicting NO X and NO2 by ∼22%and9%9%, respectively, the roadside and kerbside sites under predict observations by a larger margin of ∼32% and 22%, respectively.
