The Tanana Flats in central Alaska are a hot spot for thermokarst that is rapidly transforming the landscape. Time series analysis of high‐resolution imagery showed that permafrost degradation increased the area of three large fens by 26% from 1949 to ...

Ecological succession in areas degraded by bauxite mining indicates successful use of topsoil
Restoration Ecology, 2020Brazilian ironstone outcrops (cangas) are nutrient‐poor stressful habitat dominated by slow‐growing woody species with high biodiversity and unique evolutionary history. Mining has produced great impacts on this ecosystem.

The Ecology of Secondary Succession [PDF]
Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1974 Rather than review the ample and expanding literature of succession, as Drury & Nisbet (12) have lately and nobly done, I propose to cover some recent developments in population biology that have profound implications for theories and patterns of secondary succession.

Four opportunities for studies of ecological succession [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2011 Lessons learned from the study of ecological succession have much to offer contemporary environmental problem solving but these lessons are being underutilized. As anthropogenic disturbances increase, succession is more relevant than ever. In this review, we suggest that succession is particularly suitable to address concerns about biodiversity loss ...

Ecology of bdelloids: how to be successful
Hydrobiologia, 1987Bdelloids inhabit many different environments. The entire taxon is an order belonging to the phylum Rotifera. In spite of its wide distribution, it has a very uniform morphology, suggesting that natural selection has had almost no effect on its morphological characteristics.

Ecological succession as an energy dispersal process
Biosystems, 2010Ecological succession is described by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. According to the universal law of the maximal energy dispersal, an ecosystem evolves toward a stationary state in its surroundings by consuming free energy via diverse mechanisms. Species are the mechanisms that conduct energy down along gradients between repositories of energy which ...

Succession and Ecological Theory
1981Succession has reigned as a basic concept or theory of ecology certainly since Frederick E. Clements (1916) stated as a “universal law” that “all bare places give rise to new communities except those which present the most extreme conditions of water, temperature, light, or soil.” Its significance persists and was described by Eugene Odum (1969, p. 262)

Markovian Approaches to Ecological Succession
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1979SUMMARY (1) Analysis of published studies generally indicates that ecological succession can be considered as a non-random process. (2) Two examples are discussed in detail, termite succession on baitwood blocks in Ghana (Usher 1975) and predator-prey dynamics of mites in a complex universe of oranges (Huffaker 1958), and both indicate that succession ...
