Floristics, Conservation, and Restoration of Virginia's Piedmont Grasslands
The native grasslands of Southeastern North America contain higher native plant diver- sity than the prairies of the Great Plains, but they have lost 90-99% of their historic range through disruption of their natural disturbance regimes and conversion to agricultural lands. To inform the …

Unravelling multidimensions of the flora of Kenya floristics, herbivory defences, and phylogenetic diversity
… multiple aspects of that vegetation, including floristics, functional traits and phylogenetics, using a multidimensional approach, with a purpose to disentangle and explain drivers and patterns of the vegetation. The purpose of the study is achieved by focusing on the following four objectives: …

The phytoplankton communities of nine lakes, Waikato, New Zealand: a comparative study of floristics, seasonal dynamics and the influence of herbivory
The structure and seasonal dynamics of the phytoplankton communities of nine shallow lakes located in relatively close proximity to one another within the Waikato Basin, and of similar age and origin, were studied for one year (July 1983 to July 1984); the lakes were Kainui, Mangahia, Mangakaware, …

Animal-habitat relationships in the Knysna forest : discrimination between forest types by birds and invertebrates
… and diversity. It is concluded therefore, that floristics and vegetation structure have, at best, a minor influence on bird community structure, and possibly also on the invertebrate community in the Knysna Forest and that management practices need not cater for variation in forest vegetation …

Vegetation studies in the Humansdorp region of the Fynbos Biome
… biomes. Syntaxa are characterized in terms of floristics (including biogeographical affinities and patterns of endemism), structure and dynamics. In the second paper both descriptive and historical approaches are used to generate hypotheses to explain vegetation history during the last glacial …

Aspects of the structure and phenology of two fynbos communities
Data on the floristics, biomass, pattern, growth forms and regeneration modes of two tall, mid-dense, proteoid shrublands are analysed. The phenology of a number of species in different growth forms is examined in terms of current hypotheses about growth form related timing of shoot growth, and …

Ecosystematic studies on roadside vegetation in southwestern Virginia
… with respect to life form, dispersal type and floristics. A floristic checklist of 247 species, 182 genera and 57 families was compiled. Dispersal mechanism and life form were determined for each species. A statistical analysis was performed (ANOVA and MANOVA) to determine the relationships …

Factors Affecting the Distribution and Abundance of Microtus Ochrogaster and M. Pennsylvanicus in East-Central Illinois (Competition, Agonistic)
… by M. ochrogaster or M. pennsylvanicus, than are floristics. It is suggested that differential predation risk resulting from differences in nest location is responsible for the preference of M. pennsylvanicus for dense vegetation and tolerance of M. ochrogaster for sites with more sparse cover. A …
