The image shows predation (piscivory) by a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) in a wetland complex Great Blue Herons typically forage for fish, frogs, and other animals at the edge of a body of water...
This report looks at both the grain and cellulose-based “bioenergy landscapes” and review what is known about their biogeochemical impacts. This report will also explore the complexity of factors...
Explains why we are moving away from traditional laboratory and field exercises towards group or individual research projects that involve "real-world" situations. Although it can be difficult to...
The floodplain lacks young willows (Salix spp.) and is dominated largely by upland grasses and herbaceous dicots. Bank and channel erosion are prominent. Willows decreased in stature and abundance...
Until the mid-1990s the semi-nomadic Himba applied a sophisticated management system which combined season-dependent pasture use, preservation of reserves for drought, and sanctions for...
