Temperate grasslands—those that get cooler in winter—are especially hard-hit. Found on every continent but Antartica, temperate grasslands account for eight percent of the planet’s land.

Snakes (Serpentes) live almost everywhere on Earth, except the polar regions, which are too cold for these cold-blooded ...

Natural populations of Calibrachoa and Petunia inhabit three different phytoecological units distinguished by climate and altitude: Low Altitude Temperate Grasslands (LATG) that includes the South ...

Ecosystem responses to global change are often nonlinear. Ecological thresholds are tipping points beyond which small changes ...

Introduction: Epizoochorous dispersal of grassland plants by large herbivores is an important way by which grassland plants achieve population expansion over long distances. However, little is known ...

Our study in abandoned grasslands showed the effect of mowing treatments on increasing plant diversity (species richness and Shannon diversity index) in a short time period (21 months). However, ...

Temperate deciduous forests are most notable because they go through four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Leaves change color (or senesce) in autumn, fall off in the winter, and grow back ...

The placement of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands could help decrease water stress and increase plant growth by about 20 percent during dry years, a new study has found. In these semi-arid ...
