Dominant ecological processes and plant functional strategies change during the succession of a subtropical forest

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Understanding community assembly process could enhance forest conservation and restoration, while which dominant ecological process drives the community assembly during forest succession is still controversial.

Shifts in soil nutrient concentrations and C:N:P stoichiometry during long-term natural vegetation restoration [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background Ecological stoichiometry (C:N:P ratios) in soil is an important indicator of the elemental balance in ecological interactions and processes.

Composition and Richness of Arboreal ants in Fragments of Brazilian Caatinga: Effects of Secondary Succession

Sociobiology, 2016
Ecological succession is a complex processes involving changes in the structure of plant community and it is an important factor determining the structure of arboreal ants assemblages, but little is known about the effects of succession on ant ...

Analysis of Herbaceous Plant Succession and Dispersal Mechanisms in Deglaciated Terrain on Mt. Yulong, China

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Ecological succession itself could be a theoretical reference for ecosystem restoration and reconstruction. Glacier forelands are ideal places for investigating plant succession because there are representative ecological succession records at long ...

Soil Microbial Networks Shift Across a High-Elevation Successional Gradient

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
While it is well established that microbial composition and diversity shift along environmental gradients, how interactions among microbes change is poorly understood.

Legacy forest structure increases bird diversity and abundance in aging young forests

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Many studies have demonstrated the importance of early‐successional forest habitat for breeding bird abundance, composition, and diversity. However, very few studies directly link measures of bird diversity, composition and abundance to measures of ...

Improving soil organic carbon mapping in farmlands using machine learning models and complex cropping system information

Environmental Sciences Europe
Obtaining accurate spatial maps of soil organic carbon (SOC) in farmlands is crucial for assessing soil quality and achieving precision agriculture. The cropping system is an important factor that affects the soil carbon cycle in farmlands, and different

Management and sustainability of ground-mounted solar parks requires consideration of vegetation succession as an omnipresent process [PDF]

One Ecosystem
In addition to the aspects of power generation, land use, aesthetics, nature conservation, and multifunctionality considered so far, there are still overlooked issues in the relatively new topic of solar landscapes.

Particle Collection in Imhoff Sedimentation Cones Enriches Both Motile Chemotactic and Particle-Attached Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Marine heterotrophic microorganisms remineralize about half of the annual primary production, with the microbiomes on and around algae and particles having a major contribution.
