Because of this increase in rainfall, changes in the vegetative cover have caused native species to disappear and invasive species populations to rise.
22.
Rivera Lugo has suggested that past disturbance may have created new artificial vegetative cover types that are difficult to classify as natural forest communities.
23.
The lack of vegetative cover, the severe climate and the impact of grazing on the deserts have left wild animals in a precarious position.
24.
That's when the federal Conservation Reserve Program was born, idling large farm acreages across the region, providing more vegetative cover for the wintering bugs.
25.
The most effective known method for erosion prevention is to increase vegetative cover on the land, which helps prevent both wind and water erosion.
26.
The rationale was that this would allow the new vegetative cover and other management practices more time to become established and produce the desired benefits.
27.
A 1998 study published in Earth Surfaces Processes and Landforms investigated the relationship between vegetative cover on sand surfaces with the rate of sand transport.
28.
The prevention of adverse impacts is accomplished through the design and management of the riparian zone buffers, vegetative cover, and by minimizing stream channel disturbances.
29.
In semiarid regions, the lower effective rainfall on steeper slopes also results in less complete vegetative cover, so there is less plant contribution to soil formation.
30.
Unusually high numbers of small burrowing mammals, which make their home on a plateau rich in vegetative cover and ideal soil, support a high density of raptors.
