Few larvae were found in dew droplets or concealed withinheatherleaflets; most larvae were recovered from the plant surface.From theCambridge English Corpus
They vary fromheathermoorland to agrostis pastures invaded by gorse and bracken.From theCambridge English Corpus
This may be particularly important sinceheatheris a structurally complex plant.From theCambridge English Corpus
The percentage cover of grasses, bracken,heather, and moss was estimated using ten randomly positioned 0.25 m2 quadrats.From theCambridge English Corpus
This should reduce the possible variability associated withheatherstand age and the actual amount ofheatherpresent in the vegetation.From theCambridge English Corpus
However, all the seedbank data were derived from sites whereheatherwas the dominant species, usually in the mature phase.From theCambridge English Corpus
All three figures were estimated from stands of matureheatherwith c. 100% cover.From theCambridge English Corpus
As he says, 'many aheather-covered hillside is a gravestone to a once awe-inspiring volcano'.From theCambridge English Corpus
To examine whether larval migration was as efficient onheatheras on a monocotyledon or on a structurally simple dicotyledon we undertook a second experiment.From theCambridge English Corpus
Significantly more larvae of both nematode species were recovered in the region of theheatherthan the grass or controls.From theCambridge English Corpus
In the first group of eight trays, fiveheatherstems were planted at distances 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 cm from the centre.From theCambridge English Corpus
The highest numbers were recovered from theheatherstems; the lowest numbers were recovered from the wheat stems (fig. 3).From theCambridge English Corpus
After constant exposure, significantly more larvae were recovered fromheatherthan from either of the control plants.From theCambridge English Corpus
Theheatherstems had been trimmed so that each had a vertical stem that extended 7 cm above the soil surface.From theCambridge English Corpus
This implies that the structural complexity ofheathercauses no problems for the infective larvae.From theCambridge English Corpus
