We want a case study of distributed plots.
We want to make the methodology
easy. We want trends in abundance, to avoid dead matter.
We want to examine the potential
of species in the recovery treatment.
Researchers call for the need
for detecting critical indicator levels of a regime
shift: global initiatives. The vulnerability
of thorns. A measure of palatability. Randomization tests
of the exclosure period. Grazing intensities.
Lateral spread radiating from a functional
group or even disappearing entirely.
The primary producer demands further attention.
Future studies consist of only three tree species.
But it is becoming apparent that richness
alone may not be sufficient.
