adjectivepluriannual (not comparable)
- not comparableCovering more than one year.
This may be related to various factors, among others the earlier harvest date in pluriannual crops (thus extended exposure after protection and until fledging), and higher vole abundance in these types of habitat (Jareno et al. 2014) which may attract more predators.
