Habitat structure: a fundamental concept and framework for urban soil ecology [PDF]

, 2007
Habitat structure is defined as the composition and arrangement of physical matter at a location. Although habitat structure is the physical template underlying ecological patterns and processes, the concept is relatively unappreciated and underdeveloped

Spatial pattern and driving factors of cropland ecosystem services in a major grain-producing region: A production-living-ecology perspective

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Exploring the spatial patterns and driving factors of cropland ecosystem services and the production-living-ecology are essential to implementing spatial zoning management and optimization, especially in major grain-producing regions.

Organism-sediment interactions govern post-hypoxia recovery of ecosystem functioning [PDF]

, 2012
Hypoxia represents one of the major causes of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning loss for coastal waters. Since eutrophication-induced hypoxic events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, understanding the response of ecosystems to hypoxia ...

Measuring overall functional diversity by aggregating its multiple facets: Functional richness, biomass evenness, trait evenness and dispersion

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Human activities induce environmental changes, which can affect individuals' traits thereby leading to changes in functional diversity and finally in ecosystem functioning.

Which factors contribute most to genome size variation within angiosperms?

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Genome size varies greatly across the flowering plants and has played an important role in shaping their evolution. It has been reported that many factors correlate with the variation in genome size, but few studies have systematically explored this at ...

Root traits as drivers of plant and ecosystem functioning: current understanding, pitfalls and future research needs.

New Phytologist, 2020
The effects of plants on the biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere are key determinants of terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, despite substantial progress made regarding plant belowground components, we are still only beginning to explore the ...
