Ecology 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 ...

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.

The Pongola Bush: Tree diversity assessment in a KwaZulu-Natal forest patch
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2022 The Pongola Bush Nature Reserve lies in a narrow band along the escarpment between Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Although referred to as ‘bush’, this vegetation type may be considered to fit into the intersection of two types of scarp forest: the ...

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 ...

A Unifying Concept for Growth Trends of Trees and Forests – The “Potential Natural Forest”
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Changes in the environment will alter the growth rate of trees and forests. Different disciplines assess such growth rates differently, for example, with tree-ring width data, forest inventories or with carbon-flux data from eddy covariance towers.
