Pyramids can show the number of organisms or the weight of food in a habitat. Find out more with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

To identify the ecological thresholds of these grasslands, researchers analyzed a series of functional traits within the ecosystems, i.e. plant characteristics that determine how species respond ...

Multiple facets of biodiversity reduce variability of grassland biomass production Date: August 28, 2018 Source: German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig ...

A new study shows that plant evolutionary history plays a critical role in regulating year-to-year variation of biomass production in grasslands. In the face of climate change, understanding ...

The invasion of woody vegetation into deserts, grasslands and savannas is generally thought to lead to an increase in the amount of carbon stored in those ecosystems. For this reason, shrub and ...

A study found that solar panels boost grassland productivity—with potential benefits for grazers, and for biodiversity—by up ...

(a) The pyramid of biomass in sea is also generally inverted because the biomass of fishes far exceeds that of phytoplankton. (b) Pyramid of numbers in a grassland ecosystem is inverted.

Mycorrhizal fungi significantly enhance soil organic carbon storage in grasslands by promoting plant diversity and increasing root biomass. Grasslands with mycorrhizal-dependent plants store more ...
