Temporal dynamics in biotic and functional recovery following mining [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2022
AbstractHuman‐induced disturbance has substantially influenced the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems globally. However, the extent to which multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality) recover following anthropogenic disturbance (ecosystem recovery) remains poorly understood.We report on the first study examining the temporal ...

Negative resistance and resilience: biotic mechanisms underpin delayed biological recovery in stream restoration [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
Traditionally, resistance and resilience are associated with good ecological health, often underpinning restoration goals. However, degraded ecosystems can also be highly resistant and resilient, making restoration difficult: degraded communities often become dominated by hyper-tolerant species, preventing recolonization and resulting in low ...

Subsequent biotic crises delayed marine recovery following the late Permian mass extinction event in northern Italy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The late Permian mass extinction event was the largest biotic crisis of the Phanerozoic and has the longest recovery interval of any extinction event.

Recurrent and Long-Term Oceanic Anoxia Contributed to Aborted Biotic Recovery Following the Permian–Triassic Crisis [PDF]

Biology
The influence of ocean chemistry on Early Triassic biotic recovery is poorly understood in the Chaohu Area. Here, we evaluate the influence of ocean chemistry following the Permian–Triassic crisis using pyrite content, δ13Corg, and S isotopic composition

Deoxyribonucleic acid extraction for invertebrate metabarcoding from stream sediment and implication to biotic indices [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Environmental deoxyribonucleic acid metabarcoding has become a powerful tool for assessing invertebrate biodiversity in stream sediments, providing a non-invasive approach for ecological monitoring.

Continental weathering and recovery from ocean nutrient stress during the Early Triassic Biotic Crisis [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Following the latest Permian extinction, nutrient availability from enhanced continental weathering enabled biological recovery in the ocean, according to K-Ar dating of clay minerals and nitrogen isotope analyses from high northern latitudes.

Zooplankton recovery from a whole‐lake disturbance: Examining roles of abiotic factors, biotic interactions, and traits [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2022
Community assembly following disturbance is a key process in determining the composition and function of the future community. However, replicated studies of community assembly at whole‐ecosystem scales are rare.

A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
About half of all vertebrate species today are ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and nearly all of them belong to the Neopterygii (modern ray-fins). The oldest unequivocal neopterygian fossils are known from the Early Triassic.

Camera trap reveals the co‐occurrence patterns of two sympatric muntjac species in southern Anhui Province, China: No spatial segregation

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The competitive relationship and coexistence pattern among close related species have long been one of the hot issues in ecological research. Interspecies interactions can exert important influences on the local distribution of rare species.

Characterization of the Plant‒Soil feedback index in alpine meadow degradation and recovery: A field experiment

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Most plant‒soil feedback studies have been conducted on the mechanism by which soil directly influences plant growth performance and mostly in indoor pot experiments; however, it is unclear how plant‒soil feedback is influenced by plant, soil and ...
