Vegetation recovery and management of kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides)-dominated forest remnants in the Waikato Region [PDF]
, 2010 The principle aim of this study was to determine whether fencing alone is a sufficient management tool for facilitating the recovery and persistence of indigenous flora in kahikatea-dominated forest patches in the Waikato region.

Dynamic anoxic ferruginous conditions during the end-Permian mass extinction and recovery
Nature Communications, 2016 Oceanic anoxia is invoked for driving the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction, but the timing, distribution and chemical state are poorly understood. Here, the authors show that fluctuations of anoxic, non-sulfidic (ferruginous) conditions were important for ...

Chitin- and Chitosan-Based Derivatives in Plant Protection against Biotic and Abiotic Stresses and in Recovery of Contaminated Soil and Water [PDF]
, 2020 Biotic, abiotic stresses and their unpredictable combinations severely reduce plant growth and crop yield worldwide. The different chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, phytoregulators) so far used to enhance crop tolerance to multistress have a great ...

Latitude impacts continental acidity, biotic crisis and recovery.
Abstract Volcanism from large igneous provinces leads to increases in the Earth’s surface temperature and acidity, thus triggering mass extinction events. However, the dependence of acidity on latitudinal position has remained underexplored and is key to better understand, and react to, global environmental changes today.

Early-Triassic Nevadan Ammonite Assemblages: Key Indicators of Marine Biotic Recovery After the End Permian Mass Extinction [PDF]
, 2019 The end-Permian mass extinction occurred approximately 252 million years ago, and is the most devastating mass extinction in earth history. An estimated 80-96% of marine faunal species went extinct.

Defining the combined stress response in wild Arachis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Nematodes and drought are major constraints in tropical agriculture and often occur simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses are complex and require crosstalk between biotic and abiotic signaling pathways.

Seagrass burial by dredged sediments: Benthic community alteration, secondary production loss, biotic index reaction and recovery possibility [PDF]
, 2012 In 2005, dredging activities in Arcachon Bay (France) led in burying 320,000m(2) of Zostera noltii intertidal seagrass. Recovery by macrobenthos and seagrass was monitored.

Measurement of changes in marine benthic ecosystem function following physical disturbance by dredging [PDF]
, 2012 Measuring the impact of physical disturbance on macrofaunal communities and sediment composition is important given the increased demand for the exploitation and disturbance of marine ecosystems.
