Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Biotic Stress to Legumes: Fungal Diseases as Major Biotic Stress Factor

2021
Legumes represent one of the most valuable crops all over the world because of their high content of protein, carbohydrates, fibers and minerals. Legumes significantly affect animal and human health along with soil fertility enhancement. Despite large areas under legume cultivation, the per year legume produces are insufficient due to crop losses ...

Fire and Biotic Factors Afecting Germination

Ecology, 1952
Most plant communities are so complex that a clear-cut analysis of the relative importance of these 7 mechanisms is either very difficult or impossible. By working with simplified systems or with natural conditions where already a number of these mechanisms are excluded or inoperative, the significance of the other mechanisms can be assessed.
