Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Ecological Projects Highly Affect Ecosystem Resistance and Resilience to Drought Stress: Evidence from the Yellow River Basin in China

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability
Drought is a prevalent natural driver affecting ecosystem health and sustainability, which in turn are being reshaped by ecological projects. However, the effectiveness of ecological projects in mitigating drought ’;s effects on ecosystems remains ...

Trade-offs Between Water Transport Capacity and Drought Resistance in Neotropical Canopy Liana and Tree Species [PDF]

, 2016
In tropical forest canopies, it is critical for upper shoots to efficiently provide water to leaves for physiological function while safely preventing loss of hydraulic conductivity due to cavitation during periods of soil water deficit or high ...

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Climatic resilience after extreme drought in Mediterranean shrubland plant communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Extreme climatic events are increasing with climate change, producing changes in communities' climatic characterization. So, mismatches (climatic disequilibrium, CD) between climatic conditions inferred from species' requirements (community inferred climate, CIC) and macroclimate may undergo changes with extreme climatic events.

Comprehensive laboratory study on smoke gases during the thermal oxidative decomposition of forest and vegetation fuels

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the composition of smoke gases in forest and vegetation samples to draw conclusions about the actual smoke gas composition during wildfires. The focus is particularly on regions with extensive pine forests, like in Eastern Germany.

Integrating climate change, biological invasions, and infectious wildlife diseases

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Climate change is likely to affect infectious diseases that are facilitated by biological invasions, with repercussions for wildlife conservation and zoonotic risks. Current invasion management and policy are underprepared for the future risks associated with such invasion‐related wildlife diseases. By considering evidence from bioclimatology, invasion
