Historic and Simulated Desert-Oasis Ecotone Changes in the Arid Tarim River Basin, China
Remote Sensing, 2021 The desert-oasis ecotone, as a crucial natural barrier, maintains the stability of oasis agricultural production and protects oasis habitat security. This paper investigates the dynamic evolution of the desert-oasis ecotone in the Tarim River Basin and ...

Climate-driven regime shifts in a mangrove-salt marsh ecotone over the past 250 years. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Climate change is driving the tropicalization of temperate ecosystems by shifting the range edges of numerous species poleward. Over the past few decades, mangroves have rapidly displaced salt marshes near multiple poleward mangrove range limits ...

Ecotone Dynamics and Stability from Soil Perspective: Forest-Agriculture Land Transition
Agriculture, 2019 Topographic and edaphic gradients usually arrange ecotonal boundaries. Although the interrelationships between vegetation and edaphic factors are relevant in most types of ecotones, they are not adequately documented.

Ecotone Dynamics and Stability from Soil Scientific Point of View
Diversity, 2019 Transitional areas between two or more different biomes—ecotones—are clearly visible due to the sudden changes in vegetation structures and patterns. However, much is still unknown about the crucial soil factors that control such vegetational

Ecological Processes, 2020 Grasslands provide a number of ecosystem services for human society. Degradation of grasslands results in the loss of biodiversity and leads to the deterioration of ecosystem functions. In order to accurately assess the influence of grassland degradation

Ecological Processes, 2021 Forage yield is the fundamental ecosystem service of grasslands. While the quantitative responses of forage yield to nitrogen (N) enrichment are well known, its qualitative responses remain unclear. Even less known is the relative contribution of changes

A collection of fishes from tributaries of the lower Kouilou, Noumbi and smaller coastal basin systems, Republic of the Congo, Lower Guinea, west-central Africa [PDF]
Check List, 2014 A list of fishes is reported from right bank tributaries of the lower Kouilou River, left bank tributaries of the Noumbi River, and a series of independent coastal catchments near Madingo-Kayes in the Kouilou Province of the Republic of Congo. Thirty-two
