Change in the general aboveground phytomass as a basis for modeling dynamics of recovery of vegetative cover

Biosystems Diversity
Our study was focused on changes in the general aboveground phytomass during restoration of the vegetative cover. The objective was to analyze changes in the aboveground phytomass as an indicator of autogenic ecosystem dynamics.

The Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization on Plant Community Along Chronosequences of Reclaimed and Unreclaimed Postmining Soils After Coal Mining

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen and phosphorus availability drive plant community composition, productivity, and ecosystem functioning. During succession, nutrient availability typically changes as organic matter accumulates in the soil, influencing both nitrogen and phosphorus pools. We assessed nutrient limitation along postmining chronosequences (10–50 years old),

Comparing vegetative effects of domestic stock and feral goats as ungulate herbivores in Waingaro: Year 1 results [PDF]

, 2006
Fencing remnant native vegetation has become a widespread activity throughout New Zealand to increase native biodiversity. However, there have not been many studies to show if this is an effective approach when feral goats (Capra hircus) are present. The

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

A 30 m aboveground biomass dataset for multiple vegetation types in China (2020)

Scientific Data
Accurately estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for understanding terrestrial carbon cycling and informing climate policy. China's diverse topography and rich vegetation types make it a significant contributor to the global carbon stock.

Storage treatment and diluent cause inconsistencies in commonly used fluorometric microplate enzyme assays conducted with saltmarsh soils

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.

Wave dissipation by flexible vegetation [PDF]

, 2011
Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical model that accounts for bending of vegetation by wave motions.

Linking hierarchical assembly rules and diversity patterns of soil fungi in primary succession

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecological succession affects natural communities in numerous ways, including deterministic (e.g. environmental filtering and biotic interactions) and stochastic processes (e.g. ecological drift and homogeneous dispersal). These processes may act across different spatial scales to set local communities, including environmental drivers characterizing ...
