This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Development and Yield on Mountain Grasslands in Southwestern Montana Annual differences in plant growth and production are among the most commonly observed phenomena on our native rangelands. In addition, knowledge of growth and production are fundamental to understanding the dynamics of the grassland ecosystem. Despite their conspicuousness and importance, these phenomena have not been documented for all range types. Mountain grasslands of western Montana are among those areas where information is generally lacking on yearly variations in plant development and herbage yield.

Download or read book Number of Plots Required for Measuring Productivity on Mountain Grasslands in Montana Classic Reprint written by W. F. Mueggler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Number of Plots Required for Measuring Productivity on Mountain Grasslands in Montana The purpose of this Research Note is to show the relationship between sample size (number of plots) and precision of measuring production on 12 mountain grassland and shrubland habitat types2 common to western Montana. This information should help the range manager obtain a more realistic view of the validity of his production determinations on these and similar habitat-types, i. Information presented in table 1 was developed from data obtained during a study to determine forage productivity and variability on important habitat types. Ten of the 12 habitat types are represented by three stands selected to span the range in productivity potential for the respective habitat type; the remaining two habitat types are represented by only two stands in each. A sampling technique combining estimation (40 plots) and clipping (10 plots) was used to determine production. The 10 clipped - ft2 circular plots were randomly distributed within each stand. These clipped plots provided an estimate of the coefficient of variation (cv) by vegetation classes and species in each stand. The CV in turn forms the basis for determining the number of plots required to achieve given levels of sampling precision. The formula used to compute the number of plots (n) needed for the specified levels of sampling accuracy (freese 1967) shown in table 1 is.

Download or read book Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples in the United States written by Julie Koppel Maldonado and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a long history and deep connection to the Earth’s resources, indigenous peoples have an intimate understanding and ability to observe the impacts linked to climate change. Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.

Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.

Download or read book High Mountain Conservation in a Changing World written by Jordi Catalan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides case studies and general views of the main processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation. Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly populated lowland areas also being considered. The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. Further chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals. This book is open access under a CC BY license.
Download or read book Forgotten Grasslands of the South written by Reed F. Noss and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgotten Grasslands of the South is the study of one of the biologically richest and most endangered ecosystems in North America. In a seamless blend of science and personal observation, renowned ecologist Reed Noss explains the natural history of southern grasslands, their origin and history, and the physical determinants of grassland distribution, including ecology, soils, landform, and hydrology. In addition to offering fascinating new information about these little-studied ecosystems, Noss demonstrates how natural history is central to the practice of conservation. Although theory and experimentation have recently dominated the field of ecology, ecologists are coming to realize how these distinct approaches are not divergent but complementary, and that pursuing them together can bring greater knowledge and understanding of how the natural world works and how we can best conserve it. This long-awaited work sets a new standard for scientific literature and is essential reading for those who study and work to conserve the grasslands of the South as well as for everyone who is fascinated by the natural world.
