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

Nature 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 ...

Estimating ecological production from biomass [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2015
Productivity‐diversity relationships (P/D) are a vital theme in ecology, but productivity is typically not measured directly in that research. Instead, biomass (B) is the most common proxy for productivity, often as a 1:1 substitute. Unfortunately, this practice may cause error and uncertainty in P/D research, due to the fundamental difference between ...

Emergent global patterns of ecosystem structure and function from a mechanistic general ecosystem model [PDF]

, 2014
Anthropogenic activities are causing widespread degradation of ecosystems worldwide, threatening the ecosystem services upon which all human life depends.

Arctic marine fungi: biomass, functional genes, and putative ecological roles [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2019
Abstract Recent molecular evidence suggests a global distribution of marine fungi; however, the ecological relevance and corresponding biological contributions of fungi to marine ecosystems remains largely unknown. We assessed fungal biomass from the open Arctic Ocean by applying novel biomass conversion factors from cultured isolates to

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

Journal 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 ...

Biomass distribution among tropical tree species grown under\ud differing regional climates [PDF]

, 2010
In the Neotropics, there is a growing interest in establishing plantations of native tree species for commerce, local consumption, and to replant on abandoned agricultural lands.

Ecological impacts and limits of biomass use

Clean technologies and environmental policy, 2020
Conventional biomass sources have been widely exploited for several end uses (mostly food, feed, fuel and chemicals). More unconventional sources are continually being sought for meeting the growing planetary demands for biomass materials. Biofuels are already commercially produced in many countries and are becoming mainstream.

Effects of Environmental Factors on Plant Productivity in the Mountain Grassland of the Mountain Zebra National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Ecologies, 2023
The relationship between plant productivity, measured according to biomass and species richness, is a fundamental focal point in community ecology, as it provides the basis for understanding plant responses or adaptive strategies.

Nitrogen uptake and internal recycling in Zostera marina exposed to oyster farming: eelgrass potential as a natural biofilter [PDF]

, 2016
Oyster farming in estuaries and coastal lagoons frequently overlaps with the distribution of seagrass meadows, yet there are few studies on how this aquaculture practice affects seagrass physiology.
