Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Understanding Household Energy Transitions: From Evaluating Single Cookstoves to “Clean Stacking” Alternatives

Atmosphere, 2019
The pervasiveness of “stacking” between traditional and clean fuels/stoves is moving the household clean cooking research and policy agenda from programs that are centered on one-fuel or stove, to multi-clean fuel/device interventions that ...

Accounting for human-nature linkages in area-based conservation monitoring through social-ecological indicator bundles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As the coverage of area‐based conservation increases across the globe, it is critical to improve understanding of the social and ecological outcomes of such measures and the pathways to their outcomes. A social–ecological systems approach to monitoring and evaluation is increasingly advocated; yet, applications remain scarce.

Study of Chemical and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Material to Obtain Fermentable Sugars

Journal of Chemistry, 2017
The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis using a factorial experimental design (23) in order to obtain fermentable sugars from cellulose-based material (CBM) usually used as pet litter.

Estimación de biomasa por métodos alométricos, nutrimentos y carbono en plantaciones de palmito en Costa Rica

Agronomía Costarricense, 2002
El agroecosistema de palmito (Bactris gasipaes) es un sistema de producción sostenible en los trópicos húmedos. Los métodos alométricos permiten predecir la producción de biomasa en forma no destructiva en cualquier momento y a partir de este ...

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...
