Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Tropical dry forest recovery : processes and causes of change [PDF]

, 2009
Seasonally dry areas are one of the preferred zones for human inhabitance in the tropics. Large forest areas are converted to other land uses and many are covered by secondary forests that grow naturally after cessation of disturbance.

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...

Root biomass distribution in response to increasing active layer thickness across plant communities in a permafrost peatland

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
In Arctic tundra, the majority of plant biomass is belowground. As temperatures increase and permafrost thaws, new soil volume containing nitrogen becomes available for plant roots, potentially leading to new plant–soil interactions. Whether or not different plant communities adapt their rooting depth distribution in response to increasing active layer

PRAIRIE INCLUSIONS IN THE DECIDUOUS FOREST CLIMAX

American Journal of Botany, 1922
In the deciduous forest of the central states small fragments of prairie frequently occur (see fig. I). These vary in area from a few square feet to several acres, occurring usually on hillsides exposed to the south, southeast, or southwest. Shimek (5, 6, 7) has noted them in northwestern Iowa and along the Missouri River; Pammel, MacDonald, and Clark (

Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.

Trait‐mediated thermal responses and multi‐axis spatiotemporal niche partitioning between coexisting top predators in ponds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how physiological constraints scale up to realized niche differences remains a central challenge in functional ecology. Temperature strongly influences metabolic performance, activity, and habitat selection in ectotherms, yet few field studies quantify how thermal responses interact with diel and habitat structure to shape predator ...

Monitoring of forest ecosystems in Ireland : FOREM 9 project : final report [PDF]

, 2004
Intensive monitoring has been carried out under EC Regulation 3528/86 (project number 8860 IR 001.0) at Ballyhooly, Co. Cork since 1988. In 1991, three new plots (Roundwood, Cloosh and Brackloon) were established (9060IR0030) to give a more ...

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences
