Managing estuaries for ecosystem function. [PDF]

Glob Ecol Conserv, 2020
Estuary management is limited by lack of consensus on operational tools for handling multiple conflicting management objectives. One critical step to this goal is a shift from individual problems to a focus on maintaining ecosystem functions that benefit humans.

Using SWAP to Study the Changes in Nonpoint Source Pollution in Burhatong River Basin

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Background】 Nonpoint source pollution can cause eutrophication and biodiversity loss in rivers and lakes. In China, nonpoint source pollution from agriculture has become an environmental concern and understanding its composition and spatial distribution

Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystem Functions [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015
Accelerating rates of environmental change and the continued loss of global biodiversity threaten functions and services delivered by ecosystems. Much ecosystem monitoring and management is focused on the provision of ecosystem functions and services under current environmental conditions, yet this could lead to inappropriate management guidance and ...

Precipitation Variability Affects Aboveground Biomass Directly and Indirectly via Plant Functional Traits in the Desert Steppe of Inner Mongolia, Northern China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Clarifying the response of community and dominance species to climate change is crucial for disentangling the mechanism of the ecosystem evolution and predicting the prospective dynamics of communities under the global climate scenario.

What does the recovery debt really measure? [PDF]

Rethinking Ecology, 2017
Recently, Moreno-Mateos et al. (2017) coined the concept ‘recovery debt’, clearly a close relative of the ecosystem service debt (Isbell et al.

Does selective logging affect litter deposition rates in central Brazilian Amazonia?

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Selective logging is one of the main human activities that are drastically modifying tropical forests around the world. Reduced-impact logging emerged as a rational model of timber harvesting that reduces the impacts on the ecosystems and contributes to ...

Environmental factors indirectly reduce phytoplankton community stability via functional diversity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The biodiversity-stability relationship is a fundamental subject of ecological research. Considerable evidence demonstrates that biodiversity can either increase or decrease stability.

Soil Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Cycling Microbial Populations and Their Resistance to Global Change Depend on Soil C:N:P Stoichiometry

mSystems, 2020
Maintaining stability of ecosystem functions in the face of global change calls for a better understanding regulatory factors of functionally specialized microbial groups and their population response to disturbance. In this study, we explored this issue
