Effects of Wind Turbines On Nongame Birds in Conservation Reserve Program Grasslands in Southwestern Minnesota
… was compared with that found in cropland, pastureland, woodland, and CRP grasslands without the presence of wind turbines. Bird species composition and density were determined within fixed width (40 m) transects. Nongame bird species richness and density were greater in woodlands and CRP …

Nesting Success of Grassland Birds in Fragmented and Unfragmented Landscapes of North Central South Dakota
… native prairie is in the form of grazed pastureland; however, few studies have focused on assessing pastureland as habitat. While studies have found that species occurrence, density and breeding success is higher in large, unbroken habitat patches, the surrounding landscape likely plays …

Coarse Root, Forest Litter, and Soil Organic Matter Contributions to Carbon Sequestration in Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) Plantations in East Texas
… there has been a trend of converting marginal pastureland into loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations. This afforestation, like all other land use conversions, leads to a redistribution of carbon in vegetation and soil carbon sinks. In 2003, five marginal pasturelands in East Texas were …

Estimating Bacterial Loadings to Surface Waters from Agricultural Watersheds
… Bacterial die-off rates in cropland and pastureland soils were found to be statistically different from each other at the α = 0.05 level. The FC and EC die-off rates in cropland soils were 0.01351 day⁻¹ and 0.01734 day⁻¹, respectively, while the FC and EC die-off rates in …
