Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari (SMM), New Zealand's largest pest‐fenced ecosanctuary, provides a unique opportunity to study invertebrate responses to mammal eradication. Beetles and wētā were monitored within the mouse‐free southern exclosure and in adjacent comparable forests on the mountain, within the predator‐proof fence (in 2004/05, then 2006 ...

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Broadleaved weed management in wheat with post-emergence herbicides under strip tillage system [PDF]
Conventionally wheat is grown in well prepared land followed by 3-4 full tillage which carry out degradation of natural resources and contribute to an increased cost of cultivation. Adopting strip tillage (single shallow pass) technology in wheat reduces

Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Soil Respiration Dynamics and Environmental Controls Across Montane Forests of Nepal
ABSTRACT Soil respiration (RS) represents a major process of release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soil to atmospheric carbon pools. Measurements of soil respiration help to understand the dynamics of carbon in ecosystems. This study examines the soil respiration rate and the effect of environmental variables in different forests along elevation ...

An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential
ABSTRACT Soils host a significant proportion of biodiversity on Earth providing ecosystem functions vital to human well‐being, making it imperative to include them and their ecological features when addressing sustainability goals. We performed a comprehensive assessment of soil health across Europe by explicitly integrating biotic and abiotic ...

Watergrass control in California rice fields
Chemicals now available will apparently control watergrass and some broadleaved weeds, if properly used. Another group of chemicals including MCPA and 2,4-D are 3xtremely effective against the broadleaved weeds.
