xeric

List of plants found in a xeric oakhickory forest at Osborn Prairie, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi.

Although the discovery of a single Irenomys tarsalis near the xeric end of this ecotone is of natural history interest, in and of itself it does not provide "deep" insights into the ecology of the region's fauna.

Xeric limestone prairies (XLPs) (sensu Baskin et al., 1994; Baskin

Females and males were collected by hand and with pitfall traps in xeric shrubs near two oases and houses in Baja California Sur.

Well drained mesic to xeric woods, fields, fencerows.

They live only in xeric oak scrub communities (Woolfenden and Fitzpatrick 1984, 1996a), and individuals rarely disperse more than a few kilometers, with most recruits to the breeding ranks settling within two territories from their natal site (Woolfenden and Fitzpatrick 1984).

On xeric land types with slow decomposition rates, fuel accumulation eventually exceeds that on mesic land types [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2A OMITTED]).

They represent nine habitat types defined and chosen a priori: fringes of ponds, swamps, raised mires, peat bogs, sandy heathlands, loamy-gravelly heathlands, alluvial meadows, xeric chalky grasslands, and heavy-metal-contaminated grasslands (Table 1).

In a statement, the BCDA said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL), a foundation jointly owned by the Government of Sweden and Swedish industry; ElectriCITY, a non-profit organization composed of major companies operating in Sweden; and Xeric AB (Xeric), a company that specializes in providing business consultancy services for small and medium-scale enterprises.

Communities directly behind the dam will be inundated by water for much of the year, whereas communities in front of the dam will become more xeric. The construction of Parker Dam may have led to the sharp decrease in Populus and Salix downstream, seen in surveys from 1938 and 1960.

Thus facies can be shrubby, frutescent, herbaceous, crop field, pastoral, horticultural, grazed, forested, sabulicolous, pyrophilous, silicicolous, urban, rocky, xeric, ombrophilous, etc.

Each transect encompassed the following environments: mesic (close to the native vegetation and at the valley bottom with 230 m elevation; and a high moisture content), intermediate (intermediate elevation at 255 m) and xeric (hilltop at 280 m elevation, with a lower moisture content and greater distance from the native forest).

Its immense area subdivides into different eco regions in several biomes; the jungles of the Amazon Rainforest and the Atlantic Forest, the tropical savannah of the Cerrado, the xeric shrubland of the Caatinga, and the immense wetland area, the Pantanal.

The story calls for the protection and conservation of the endangered whale shark, also known as butanding, with music by former Disneyland Hong Kong musical director Rony Fortich, musical arrangements by Xeric Tan, and book and lyrics by stage actress Cathy Azana Dy.
