Ghost of invasion past: legacy effects on community disassembly following eradication of an invasive ecosystem engineer

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
By changing ecosystem processes and altering the physical landscape, invasive ecosystem engineers can have substantial impacts on ecosystem functions and human economies and may facilitate other non-native species. Eradication programs in terrestrial and

The possible role of Ziziphus lotus as an ecosystem engineer in semiarid landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Arid Environments, 2021
Positive interactions between nurse plants and their facilitated species are most notable in dry/high-elevation habitats. Plants that modify limiting resources or constraining variables creating an even stronger positive impact on the community are ...

Phragmites australis meets Suaeda salsa on the “red beach”: Effects of an ecosystem engineer on salt-marsh litter decomposition [PDF]

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2019
Suaeda salsa is a pioneer species in coastal wetlands of East Asia and recently an ecosystem engineer species, Phragmites australis, has started to enter into S. salsa communities owing to either autogenic or external drivers.

Foraging by an avian ecosystem engineer extensively modifies the litter and soil layer in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2021
Ecosystem engineers physically modify their environment, thereby altering habitats for other organisms. Increasingly, “engineers” are recognized as an important focus for conservation and ecological restoration because their actions affect a range of ...

Engineering roles for constructing ecosystems

Proccedings of the 10th European Conference on Software Architecture Workshops, 2016
The digital transformation of nearly all industrial sectors leads and will lead to a disruptive change. Instead of traditional linear value chains, we will move towards networked, interconnected value creation - digital ecosystems where multiple organizations and their software systems interact with each other.

Ecosystem engineering in space and time

Ecology Letters, 2007
AbstractThe ecosystem engineering concept focuses on how organisms physically change the abiotic environment and how this feeds back to the biota. While the concept was formally introduced a little more than 10 years ago, the underpinning of the concept can be traced back to more than a century to the early work of Darwin. The formal application of the
