Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2022 The Arab peninsula suffers from intense wadi erosion, which is been expressed by a dense net of wadis that are correlated by overland flows to their surrounded landforms (e.g. loess slopes and rocky grounds).

Grassland productivity limited by multiple nutrients [PDF]
, 2015 Terrestrial ecosystem productivity is widely accepted to be nutrient limited1. Although nitrogen (N) is deemed a key determinant of aboveground net primary production (ANPP)2,3, the prevalence of co-limitation by N and phosphorus (P) is increasingly ...

Ecological Indicators, 2014 Abstract Aboveground net primary production (ANPP) is a key ecosystem characteristic and of fundamental importance for essentially all aspects of matter and energy fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. Various methods for estimating ANPP are available and despite partial consensus on ‘best practice methods’ important methodological issues remain ...

Soil Moisture Buffers the Impact of Precipitation Variability on Ecosystem Productivity
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Water availability governs ecosystem productivity, yet estimates of vegetation sensitivity to water can differ greatly depending on whether the sensitivity is examined spatially or temporally. In particular, the spatial sensitivity is often reported to be much stronger than temporal sensitivities, leading to highly uncertain projections of ...

‘Gold, guns & goons’: the complexity of electoral irregularities in Nigeria, 1999-2007 [PDF]
, 2010 Electoral irregularities have become an irritant but inseparable aspect of democratic development in several countries of the world. From the US Florida electoral crisis of 2000 to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004/2005, which was staged to ...

No effect of seed source on multiple aspects of ecosystem functioning during ecological restoration: cultivars compared to local ecotypes of dominant grasses [PDF]
, 2013 Genetic principles underlie recommendations to use local seed, but a paucity of information exists on the genetic distinction and ecological consequences of using different seed sources in restorations.

Successional change in species composition alters climate sensitivity of grassland productivity. [PDF]
, 2018 Succession theory predicts altered sensitivity of ecosystem functions to disturbance (i.e., climate change) due to the temporal shift in plant community composition.

Assessing Land Degradation/Recovery in the African Sahel from Long-Term Earth Observation Based Primary Productivity and Precipitation Relationships [PDF]
, 2013 The ‘rain use efficiency’ (RUE) may be defined as the ratio of above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) to annual precipitation, and it is claimed to be a conservative property of the vegetation cover in drylands, if the vegetation cover is not ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...
