Exempel på ground cover

• However, in the forest environments, beetles were very speciose and abundant even though the ground cover was less than 50% of the sampling area.

• The overall floristics at flight interception trap sites between the two plantation types did not show much difference except in the ground cover.

• There were more understorey beetles in the acacia plantation, which has more ground cover, compared with the oil palm plantation (see figs 4 and 8b).

• A resilient forest, maintaining a diverse ground cover of shrubs and herbaceous species, requires a mixed fire regime.

• At two months after planting, percentage ground cover was estimated and mucuna plant height measured (in 1996 only).

• When site 3 was excluded, the relationship between mean ground cover and mean air temperature at each site was linear.

• Control of seedling emergence by ground cover: a potential mechanism involving seed predation.

• To reduce soil erosion, the establishment of early ground cover is highly desirable, showing the importance of rapid canopy growth in improved varieties.

• This is associated with the relatively slow development of ground cover in maize compared to the more vigorous peas.

• A mixture of crops with different life cycle durations extends the period of ground cover and thereby decreases the potential for soil erosion.

• A light interception method for measuring row crop ground cover.

• Attention to sowing at the correct soil moisture there resulted in good stands early on and full ground cover by the time flag leaves emerged.

• It is interesting to note that there was a significant negative relationship between beetle numbers and the percentage of ground cover (see table 4).

• When it was not possible to count the number of plant individuals, an estimate of the percentage was taken, especially for ground cover.

• Because ground cover categories of rock or leaf litter alone were rare, we combined these groups together with ' leaf and rock ' in our analyses.
