Urban grasslands support threatened water voles [PDF]
, 2017 Urbanisation is often linked with habitat loss and a reduction in species richness but some species may be able to adapt to urban environments. Water voles Arvicola amphibius, a rapidly declining species in the UK, have recently been recorded in isolated

Effects of Fire on Grassland Soils and Water: A Review
Grasses and Grassland Aspects, 2020 Grasslands occur on all of the continents. They collectively constitute the largest ecosystem in the world, making up 40.5% of the terrestrial land area, excluding Greenland and Antarctica. Grasslands are not entirely natural because they have formed and

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...

Effect of sieving on ex-situ soil respiration of soils from three land use types [PDF]
, 2020 This study aims to investigate the effect of sieving on ex situ soil respiration (CO2 flux) measurements from different land use types. We collected soils (0–10 cm) from arable, grassland and woodland sites, allocated them to either sieved (4-mm mesh ...

Grassland dynamics in response to climate change and human activities in Xinjiang from 2000 to 2014
Scientific Reports, 2018 Climate change and human activities are two key factors that affect grassland ecosystem. Accurately estimating the effects of these two factors on grassland dynamics and understanding the driving forces of the dynamics are important in controlling ...
