Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

MANAGEMENT DISCRIMINANT PROPERTIES IN SEMIARID SOILS

Soil Science, 1998
The physical properties of coarse - textured soils in semiarid regions often deteriorate with use. We hypostatized that the changes in the physical properties of the soil were related to the cropping sistem employed. 5urface sampled of 52 Entic Haplustolls under three diferents uses (24 under continuous cultivation), 18 under rotation wuth grass Ieys ...

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

On the viability of using Ceriodaphnia cornuta Sars (1885) as a test organism cultivated under environmental conditions of a neotropical semiarid region (temperature, pH, hardness and luminosity) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The use of autochthonous zooplankton species, along with standardized protocols, ensures the reliability and reproducibility of ecotoxicological assays, enabling the anticipation and more efficient diagnosis of the harmful effects of toxic agentes in ...

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.
