To test the hypothesis that ectoparasitic phytophagous nematodes are a major consumer of primary production in arid grasslands, carbofuran was applied...

The maintenance of habitat heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes has been promoted as a key strategy to conserve biodiversity. Animal response to g...

A compartment model is described which simulates the root biomass dynamics of shortgrass prairie; fluxes between compartments are treated as time-vary...
