The latter was due to the lack of bryophyte-rich substrata in the reserve, since the small-scale richness of the same substrata there was similar to that in commercial forests.
For me, Brian Jacques feastss, lovingly described and partaken of by Redwallers with universal glee, pick up where Brambly Hedge leaves off, using words, rather than images, to evoke a similar sense of doll-scale richness.
Figure 1 Summary of the results from Firn et al. (2010) on how grazing exclusion and grazing manipulation can alter the abundance of a dominant invasive plant species and small-scale richness of the subsequent plant community.
Results on species richness were grouped into two spatial categories: landscape-scale richness, typically of ≤10,000 km2, and local-scale richness, of ≤100 km2, but generally on the order of 100 hectares to a fraction of a hectare (after Whittaker [46] and Pitman et al. [23]).
Seventy five years old this year, the film barely looks it: its lush visual sheen and twinkling effects haven't dulled, but it's the scale and richness of the narrative that still dazzles most of all.
The scale and richness of the sensor data currently being collected and analysed is rapidly growing.
At a regional and landscape scale, species richness was greater in integrated and conventional farms.
At a within-field scale, species richness was greatest in organic farms where there was a greater abundance of weeds.
We considered several metrics of species diversity, but found two particularly useful at farm scale: average richness (area-weighted) and farm uniqueness in terms of species identity.
At the plot scale, species richness was found to be unimodally related to elevation and negatively related to tree stem density and total basal area.
We found that five small samples captured a higher proportion of landscape scale species richness for a fixed sampling effort, and was therefore a more efficient method to determine the species composition of the landscape.
