Sward Heterogeneity

Sward Heterogeneity is a structural ecological construct that denotes the spatial and temporal variation in the composition, architecture, and species distribution within a sward, distinguishing it from homogeneous sward models by emphasizing non-uniformity in vegetation patterns and functional traits.
