An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:

Matney, Casey A.

Abstract:

State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems.

Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...
