Research advance in potassium cycling in agroecosystems

TLDR: In this paper, the authors measured distribution patterns of eight vertebrate species, using indices derived from transect counts of animals and their signs, and demonstrated highly significant relationships between animal distribution patterns and objective classification of landscape and seasons.

Abstract: SUMMARY wildlife communities was tested by measurement of distribution patterns of eight vertebrate species, using indices derived from transect counts of animals and their signs. Highly significant relationships between animal distribution patterns and objective classification of landscape and seasons were demonstrated. (2) Highest densities of animals occurred near borders of land systems. Methods used highlighted critical areas and yielded, rapidly and economically, information vital for sound management and establishment of national parks. (3) Dangers to the ecological viability of the Parque Nacional de Dofiana include overgrazing by non-indigenous species within the Park and development outside the Park of properties formerly acting as buffer zones.
