- Library Collection RecordMuch is known about bobwhite nesting ecology; however, relatively little is understood regarding how nest predators influence bobwhite nest selection and re-nesting behavior. The objective of our…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordVegetation recovery and resilience following disturbance is related to germinable seeds and regeneration from vegetative propagules. Ecological site can affect plant composition and intensity of…Publication Date 2016
- Library Collection RecordBiomass and net primary production can be quantified at the landscape level using a combination of field methodologies and remote sensing. Spatial models can be very useful to acquire this…Publication Date 2016
