Disturbance theory for ecosystem ecologists: A primer

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Understanding what regulates ecosystem functional responses to disturbance is essential in this era of global change. However, many pioneering and still influential disturbance‐related theorie proposed by ecosystem ecologists were developed prior to ...

Optical remote spectral acquisition of elemental stoichiometry

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Optical remote sensing (RS) enables the study of the elemental composition of Earth’s surface over broad spatial extents by detecting reflected electromagnetic radiation. Covalent bonds of macromolecular structures often reflect electromagnetic radiation

A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
Summary In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep on generating cutting‐edge, meaningful and integrated knowledge.

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Aerobiology over Antarctica – a new initiative for atmospheric ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The role of aerial dispersal in shaping patterns of biodiversity remains poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of coordinated efforts in gathering data at appropriate temporal and spatial scales.

Application of multidimensional structural characterization to detect and describe moderate forest disturbance

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
The study of vegetation community and structural change has been central to ecology for over a century, yet the ways in which disturbances reshape the physical structure of forest canopies remain relatively unknown.

The ecosystem: research and practice in North America [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2013
Since the early 1940s, the ecosystem approach has been developed in a variety of forms by North American ecologists. Lindeman established its foundation, with his focus on functional components and energy transfers between trophic levels; this view was ...

Methodological approach for mapping ecosystem services in urban and suburban areas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In Urban and suburban areas, the technology of remote sensing can offer a practical and economical means to study ecological quality of cities based on the specific functions or functional groups/biodiversity which support the supply of ecosystem ...
