RIV04 Moss cover in streams in wooded riparian areas and areas where canopy had been cut at Konza Prairie

Our project was designed to test if woody removal in a riparian zone allowed the system to rebound to a grassland stream state. We hypothesized that removal would increase light and decrease moss biomass.

本项目旨在探究河岸带（riparian zone）内开展木本植被移除操作后，生态系统是否能够恢复至溪流草原状态。本研究提出假设：移除木本植被可提升光照水平，并降低苔藓生物量。
