Knowledge graph centered on line-intercept technique with 39 nodes and 96 connections. Top connected: antipredator behavior, space use, trophic cascade, Patterns of selective caching behavior of a genera, vegetation community composition.

Description

Systematic point sampling along transects to quantify vegetation composition and forage quality metrics. Modified from standard methods described in Wilkening et al. 2011.

Output Measurements

  • vegetation cover percentages
  • species composition
  • forb diversity
  • gram:forb ratios
