Protected areas maintain neotropical freshwater bird biodiversity in the face of human activity

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Because of their accessibility, freshwater ecosystems are particularly sensitive to deforestation and bank habitat fragmentation. Their responses to human activities in general, and specifically to small-scale extractive activities, are not well ...

Quantifying leaf-trait co-variation and strategies for ecosystem functioning of Quercus leucotrichophora (Ban Oak) forest in Himalaya

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Leaf functional traits determine a plant’s survival and growth. Variation in leaf traits control the functioning of forest ecosystem. The study examines the variation in 18 leaf traits (4 morphological, 6 physiological, 6 biochemical, and 2 stoichiometry)
