Impacts of Land Abandonment on Vegetation: Successional Pathways in European Habitats [PDF]

, 2011
Changes in traditional agricultural systems in Europe in recent decades have led to widespread abandonment and colonization of various habitats by shrubs and trees.

Pioneer Arabidopsis thaliana spans the succession gradient revealing a diverse root-associated microbiome

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Background Soil microbiomes are increasingly acknowledged to affect plant functioning. Research in molecular model species Arabidopsis thaliana has given detailed insights of such plant-microbiome interactions.

Change in composition and potential functional genes of microbial communities on carbonatite rinds with different weathering times

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Organisms and time are important factors for rock weathering to form soils. However, weathering time is usually difficult to quantitatively study, and the potential microorganisms involved in rock weathering are difficult to identify qualitatively ...

The use of chronosequences in studies of ecological succession and soil development [PDF]

, 2010
1. Chronosequences and associated space-for-time substitutions are an important and often necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development across multiple time-scales.

Considering humans as habitat reveals evidence of successional disease ecology among human pathogens.

PLoS Biology, 2022
The realization that ecological principles play an important role in infectious disease dynamics has led to a renaissance in epidemiological theory. Ideas from ecological succession theory have begun to inform an understanding of the relationship between

Foreign banks in Bulgaria, 1875-2002 [PDF]

, 2003
We use the analogy of ecological succession as our conceptual framework. We apply this analogy to the history of foreign banks in Bulgaria and argue that the current predominance of foreign banks is unlikely to be permanent, even without government ...

Species-Level Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Cyanobacteria in a Hard-Water Temperate Lake in the Southern Baltics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cyanobacteria are important primary producers in temperate freshwater ecosystems. However, studies on the seasonal and spatial distribution of cyanobacteria in deep lakes based on high-throughput DNA sequencing are still rare.

Ecosystem service delivery in restoration projects: the effect of ecological succession on the benefits of tidal marsh restoration

Ecology and Society, 2016
Long-term assessment of ecosystem restoration projects is complex because of ecological processes such as succession, particularly in highly dynamic ecosystems such as estuaries.

Evolutionary and ecological success is decoupled in mammals [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2018
AbstractAimTo identify which factors distinguish ecologically successful mammalian clades (i.e., clades with a large combined range size) from less successful ones.LocationGlobal.MethodsWe estimated the total range sizes for each individual mammalian subfamily and used phylogenetic regressions to identify the relative importance of factors related to ...
