Interaction Between Nitrogen Forms, Phosphorus Forms, and Mineral Phases Drives Phosphorus Limitation and Uptake by Ryegrass in a Model System

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Nitrogen addition shifts plant nutrition from nitrogen to phosphorus (P) limitation. Nitrate‐based nitrogen enhances P acquisition more effectively than ammonium through increased phosphatase activity, independently of pH changes. Organic P forms induce stronger P limitation than inorganic P.

Complexity, parallel computation and statistical physics

open access: yes, 2005
The intuition that a long history is required for the emergence of complexity in natural systems is formalized using the notion of depth. The depth of a system is defined in terms of the number of parallel computational steps needed to simulate it. Depth

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

BIOSPHERIC ORGANIZATION AS A “CONTINENTS – OCEANIC BASINS” SYSTEM

open access: yesGeography, Environment, Sustainability, 2016
The functional characteristics of the biosphere are reflected in its binominale frame: continents – oceanic basins. The river-basin land, on the one hand, and pericontinental oceanic waters on the other hand, are the main components of the homeostatic ...

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...
