Exploring a natural baseline for large‐herbivore biomass in ecological restoration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, 2021
Abstract Large herbivores provide key ecosystem processes, but have experienced massive historical losses and are under intense pressure, leaving current ecosystems with dramatically simplified faunas relative to the long‐term evolutionary norm. Hampered by a shifting baseline, natural levels of large‐herbivore biomass are poorly understood and ...

An equation of state unifies diversity, productivity, abundance and biomass

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such as species productivity, biomass, and abundance.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SPACE-FOR-TIME SUBSTITUTION IN PREDICTING BETULA SPP. BIOMASS CHANGE RELATED TO CLIMATE SHIFTS

open access: yesApplied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2022
. Human society faces problems of a global scale today, as a result of which the priorities of environmental research are shifting to the macro level, and ecology has entered the era of "big data". The authors have created a database of 1,717 model trees

Plant and soil biodiversity have non-substitutable stabilising effects on biomass production.

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2021
The stability of plant biomass production in the face of environmental change is fundamental for maintaining terrestrial ecosystem functioning, as plant biomass is the ultimate source of energy for nearly all life forms.

Viral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production that play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Here, the authors show how bloom termination by viral infection can shift the balance between eukaryotic and prokaryotic ...

Phosphorus-enriched biochar from biogas residue of Eichhornia crassipes: transformation and release of phosphorus

open access: yesBiochar, 2023
Pyrolysis is an effective technology for treating and utilizing biogas residue. To explore the phosphorus (P) supply capacity of the biochar generated from biogas residue of Eichhornia Crassipes, the P speciation of E.

Automatic image‐based identification and biomass estimation of invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Understanding how biological communities respond to environmental changes is a key challenge in ecology and ecosystem management. The apparent decline of insect populations necessitates more biomonitoring but the time‐consuming sorting and expert‐based ...

Alpine grassland plants grow earlier and faster but biomass remains unchanged over 35 years of climate change

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2020
Satellite data indicate significant advancement in alpine spring phenology over decades of climate warming, but corresponding field evidence is scarce. It is also unknown whether this advancement results from an earlier shift of phenological events, or ...
