Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)
Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...
Another tool in the toolbox? Using fire and grazing to promote bird diversity in highly fragmented landscapes
(Ecological Society of America, 2011-03-08)
The grasslands of central North America have experienced drastic reductions in extent, removal of historic disturbance patterns, and homogenization of remaining fragments. This has resulted in steep declines for a broad ...
Landowners' perceptions of risk in grassland management: Woody plant encroachment and prescribed fire
(Resilience Alliance, 2014)
Ecologists recognize that fire and herbivory are essential to maintaining habitat quality in grassland ecosystems. Prescribed fire and grazing are typically used on public reserves to increase biodiversity, improve grassland ...
