Abstract Although heavy rainfall and the input of unsenescent litter produced by tropical cyclones can profoundly affect the activities of soil nitrogen (N) cycling‐related enzymes in coastal mountain forest ecosystems in the short term, the immediate responses of these enzymes to typhoon disturbances and the underlying mechanism remain unknown.

Ecosystem carbon, water, and energy exchange reorganize systematically along climatic gradients from humid to dry conditions. Tapering shapes indicate shifts in the relative importance of environmental drivers and ecosystem fluxes across climate space, with thicker ends representing greater influence or magnitude.

Conceptual framework linking leaf‐level photorespiratory biochemistry to global‐scale uncertainty in carbon cycle modelling. Rubisco acts as a temperature‐sensitive biochemical switch: At optimal temperatures (~25°C) carboxylation dominates and drives biomass accumulation, whereas heat stress (> 35°C) favours oxygenation and initiates photorespiration (

A new mass and energy balance for intercepted snow more accurately represented observations of subcanopy snow water equivalent and canopy intercepted snow load compared to an existing approach. The new CanSnow model also revealed how intercepted snowfall is partitioned between throughfall, sublimation, drip and unloading to the forest floor at two ...

Low‐Head Dam Removal Restores Biofilm Structure but Not Function in a Temperate Stream
ABSTRACT Barrier removal is a common stream restoration practice aimed at restoring longitudinal connectivity, yet its effects on biofilm structure and function, through alteration of near‐bed hydrodynamics, remain unclear. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach, we assessed how the presence and removal of a low‐head dam affect biofilm structure ...

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

Abstract Concern has been raised that in recent decades knowledge of plant species has severely declined in western countries. However, in the absence of regularly repeated and standardized surveys, no reliable statement can be made as to whether plant species knowledge has actually declined in recent decades.

Edaphic isolation as a driver of divergence in a new Amazonian species of Diclinanona (Annonaceae)
Abstract For many years a mysterious collection made during an expedition to Venezuelan Amazonia in 1992 was in a folder at the former Utrecht Herbarium as “unidentified Annonaceae”. Several different genera were suggested for identification but since flowers were lacking it was unclear where this taxon should be placed. One of the suggestions based on

Abstract The capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to retain carbon or sequester more atmospheric carbon is frequently investigated as a potential natural climate solution. However, global carbon inventories, national carbon assessments, and atmospheric inversion studies suffer from key limitations: infrequent estimates, low spatial resolution, or a lack ...
