Forest Stand Structure and Primary Production in relation to Ecosystem Development, Disturbance, and Canopy Composition [PDF]

, 2016
Temperate forests are complex ecosystems that sequester carbon (C) in biomass. C storage is related to ecosystem-scale forest structure, changing over succession, disturbance, and with community composition.

Proliferating poplars: the leading edge of landscape change in an Alaskan subalpine chronosequence

Ecosphere, 2016
We remeasured a classic chronosequence study in the subalpine zone of the Alaska Range to evaluate how plant community attributes have changed across a set of different‐aged terraces over a 54‐yr period (1958–2012).

Participative construction of ecological restoration strategies for wetlands of the middle Magdalena River drainage: a tool for environmental land management

Biota Colombiana, 2014
The socioecological relevance of the Magdalena Medio (Colombia) region wetlands and the dynamics of their degradation reveal the need to develop restoration processes that guarantee the land's sustainability as a tool for the transformation of social ...

Ecological Succession Model

, 2003
We introduce a new interacting particle system intended to model an example of ecological succession involving two species: the bracken and the european beech. The objective is to exhibit phase transitions by proving that there exist three possible evolutions of the system to distinct ecological balances.

30 years of hay meadow succession without fertilization: how does it affect soil and avifauna groups? [PDF]

, 2010
In the present study we investigated the effects of hay meadow succession in the brook valley system of the Drentse A Nature Reserve, in the NE of the Netherlands.

Biodiversity in salt marshes: from the patrimonial value to the ecosystem functioning. The case study of the Mont Saint-Michel bay. [PDF]

, 2003
Until 1979, European salt marshes were known only through the inventories of fauna and especially of flora. On such criteria, the salt marshes of the Mont-Saint-Michel bay (France) were regarded as most significant of the French coasts.

Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience? [PDF]

, 2006
Given the increasingly global stresses on forests, many ecologists argue that managers must maintain ecological resilience: the capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbances without undergoing fundamental change.

Catchment-scale biogeography of riverine bacterioplankton [PDF]

, 2014
Lotic ecosystems such as rivers and streams are unique in that they represent a continuum of both space and time during the transition from headwaters to the river mouth.
