Seasonal effects of farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusions on bird communities in Burkina Faso

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.
Abstract Anthropogenic activities such as livestock grazing and deforestation are primary causes of land degradation in drylands such as the Sahel Zone of Africa, threatening the livelihoods of rural communities and biodiversity. To restore degraded habitats, measures such as farmer‐managed livestock grazing exclusion, where the native vegetation is ...

Soil nutrient availability rather than spatial nutrient heterogeneity shapes the intraspecific response of root architectural, morphological and mycorrhizal traits in Vaccinium myrtillus

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3678-3699, December 2025.
This study tests how nutrient availability and spatial distribution influence root nutrient acquisition strategies of Vaccinium myrtillus in temperate forests. Greater nutrient availability was associated with shorter, thicker and denser roots, whereas patchy nutrient distribution only increased variability in root phosphatase activity.

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Boisements naturels et embroussaillement sur le Causse Méjean : intérêt d'une approche croisée entre sciences de la nature et sciences sociales

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 1999
Le boisement spontané des terres agricoles est abordé de façon interdisciplinaire, par les sciences de la nature et les sciences sociales. Selon l'échelle à laquelle le phénomène est appréhendé, différentes sources et méthodes de traitement de données ...

Les araignées de la réserve naturelle nationale du Rocher de la Jaquette (Puy-de-Dôme)

BIOM
Nous présentons ici les résultats d’un inventaire des araignées réalisé sur la réserve naturelle nationale du Rocher de la Jaquette après une première étude datant de 2004. 5 stations d’échantillonnage ont été définies : lande à Genêt purgatif, fourré à

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 234-269, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...

The surrounding landscape affects ecosystem multifunctionality in oilseed rape fields

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2283-2295, September 2025.
Our findings suggest that diverse landscapes are required to ensure the simultaneous delivery of a bundle of ecosystem functions in oilseed rape fields. Altogether, our findings indicate that landscape management should not only promote different semi‐natural elements but also should target limitation of dilution effects.

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...

Les espaces boisés dans l'exploitation agricole : examen critique des sources d'information

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 1997
Alors que certaines mesures de la Politique Agricole Commune visent à favoriser le boisement des terres agricoles, il devient utile de comprendre comment les agriculteurs gèrent leurs espaces boisés et quels sont les bénéfices qu'ils en retirent pour ...

The duration of high spring light for understorey plants: Contrasting responses to spatial and temporal temperature variation

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2526-2538, September 2025.
Over 7 years, warmer springs were associated with earlier leaf‐out of two temperate forest understorey herbs and of the trees above them, but the effect was stronger for the herbs. This suggests that climate warming will prolong the relatively brief period of high light available to understorey plants in spring, which is a key determinant of their ...
