Research in ecology has traditionally been funded for short periods of time and performed at single sites, conditions not conducive to projects addressing much greater time and geographic scales, so support of an experimental emphasis on longterm ecological research seeks to alleviate discontinuity.

Soil morphology indicated that the site had undergone several cycles of rapid erosion and deposition, and organic matter content and mineralization rate were closely coupled to physical properties of the soil, which reflect the geomorphic history of the site.

According to Diels (1937), the species of plant reaching the highest elevation on Chimborazo is Draba depressa, while at sealevel on Kap Morris Jesup, the northernmost plant species is Saxifraga oppositifolia (Holmen 1957).

Which spatial components of the landscape are selected as grazing habitat by cattle, what factors influence spatial patterns of seasonal or subseasonal grazing, and if selection of grazing areas is related to (nutritional) properties of the vegetation are determined.

It is likely that anatomical-physiological adaptations, including a relatively large rumeno-reticulum allow domestic sheep to utilize more forage plant species and inhabit a wider variety of niches and ecosystems than most ungulates.
