Trees First Inhibit Then Promote Litter Decomposition in the Subarctic

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2025.
Trees may influence organic matter decomposition at the soil surface and in the soil, via effects on the fungal community. However, it is still debated whether such tree effects inhibit (Gadgil effect) or promote (priming) rates of litter decomposition.

Impact of various moisture regime on selected growth-production characteristics of Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium pratense L.

Acta Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2019
The aim of the experiment was to find out the impact of different moisture regime on selected indicators of the growth and production process of Medicago sativa L. cv. Zuzana and Trifolium pratense L. cv. Poľana. The pot experiment was carried out at the

Substantial Insect Herbivory in a South African Savanna‐Forest Mosaic: A Neglected Topic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our work represents a rare study of insect herbivory across a large national park, the Hluhluwe‐iMfolozi Park (900 km2) in South Africa. This study not only connects insect herbivory to key and typical savanna drivers: rainfall, abundances of mammals and fire frequencies, but also examines the impact of two insect feeding guilds (chewers and miners ...

Interacting effects of sand, slugs and jute drive community composition in direct‐seeded urban wildflower meadows

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 11, Page 2762-2773, November 2024.
Using low‐nutrient substrates to cap and bury the weed seed bank, irrigation and direct seeding, we demonstrate it is possible to return plants from threatened grassy ecosystems to urban sites, creating a dense and species‐rich native understorey within 1 year whilst reducing labour requirements during meadow establishment.

Indexes of pasturable ecology of Equus ferus przewalskii (Equidae) in steppes of the Western Manych Valley (south-east of the Rostov Region, Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019
In 2015–2016, we studied the species composition, above-ground phytomass and feeding habits of semi-free Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) in a natural pasture of the steppe valley of the Western Manych. The above-ground mass of plants on the

Vegetation Dynamics, Productivity, and Carbon Stock in Plant Matter in the Drained Berkazan-Kamysh Peatland (Bashkir Cis-Urals) After Rewetting

Land
Peatlands store huge amounts of soil carbon and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Drained peatlands stop accumulating carbon and become a source of carbon emissions.

Above-ground phytomass of a site disturbed by selective logging in north Queensland wet tropical rainforest

, 1992
Species composition and phytomass were determined for the vegetation recolonising a disturbed site in the wet tropical rainforest of the Mt. Spec State Forest, Queensland, Australia. Construction of a log loading ramp in 1963/64 resulted in the formation

Above-ground tree outside forest (TOF) phytomass and carbon estimation in the semi-arid region of southern Haryana: A synthesis approach of remote sensing and field data

Journal of Earth System Science, 2012
Trees outside forest (TOF) play an important role in global carbon cycling, since they are large pools of carbon as well as potential carbon sinks and sources to the atmosphere. In view of the importance of biomass estimates in the global carbon (C) cycle, the present study demonstrates the potential of the standwise tree outside forest inventory data ...

Equations for the prediction of tree phytomass in Quercus cerris stands in Tuscany, Italy

Forest@, 2007
The paper reports the development of allometric equations to estimate tree phytomass in Turkey oak stands in Tuscany. Biomass estimation is a basic tool to study the ecosystem, which is currently taking on a greater importance due to the commitments ...
