Forest and fire drive moose (deníe) detections near their northern range limit
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.One way to understand species range shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change is to study populations living at the limit of climate and resource suitability. Moose Alces alces (deníe in Dënesųłıné) generally require forest–wetland landscape complexes but are increasingly seen across the forest–tundra transition at their northern range limit ...

Quantification of soil erosion in the Alps : measurement and modeling [PDF]
, 2010 Alpine regions have a high potential for soil erosion associated to extreme climatic and topographic conditions. Because of aggressive development in the recent past, environmental damage enhanced by acid deposition, global warming and development ...

Threats and opportunities for European grassland areas under different market and policy scenarios
, 2014 Grasslands are an important landscape element in Europe, but have seen a reduction in area in the last 50 years. To assess future changes under varying price and policy scenarios the FARMIS agri-sector model was utilised to model likely farmer behaviour ...

Grassland management, soil biota and ecosystem services in sandy soils [PDF]
, 2010 Recent legislative restrictions on the use of fertilizers and irrigation, and a quest for sustainable farming systems have drawn renewed attention to the functioning of the soil and the ecosystem services it provides. Soil biota play an important role in

Community assembly on inland cliffs is context‐dependent
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under harsh environmental conditions, community assembly processes are expected to drive pronounced functional convergence, with communities dominated by stress‐tolerant species.

Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using a spatially explicit model parameterized with GPS telemetry, we show that migratory and resident red deer play distinct roles in nitrogen redistribution across alpine landscapes. Migrants uniquely transport nitrogen upslope and up elevation, linking ecosystem element pools and revealing how the loss of migration alters large‐scale ecosystem ...
