Responses and comprehensive evaluation of growth characteristics of ephemeral plants in the desert-oasis ecotone to soil types.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022
The ecological environment of the Gurbantünggüt desert-oasis ecotone is extremely fragile. Ephemeral plants are an important part of the ecosystem and play an essential role in maintaining the ecological stability of the ecotone.

Response of spatio-temporal changes in sediment phosphorus fractions to vegetation restoration in the degraded river-lake ecotone.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element in the ecosystem and the cause of the eutrophication of rivers and lakes. The river-lake ecotone is the ecological buffer zone between rivers and lakes, which can transfer energy and material between terrestrial and

Modeling the impacts of future LULC and climate change on runoff and sediment yield in a strategic basin in the Caatinga/Atlantic forest ecotone of Brazil

, 2021
Water management in the Caatinga/Atlantic forest ecotone in Brazil is critically dependent on better understanding of potential future changes in streamflow and sediment dynamics.

The impacts of climate changes and human activities on net primary productivity vary across an ecotone zone in Northwest China.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The variations in net primary productivity (NPP) and its controls are critical to understand the mechanisms that maintain ecosystem services under ongoing climate change and human activities.

Future scenarios based on a CA-Markov land use and land cover simulation model for a tropical humid basin in the Cerrado/Atlantic forest ecotone of Brazil

, 2020
Recently, the advancement of agriculture in Brazil has caused very serious problems, such as deforestation and an increase in the amount of pesticides and suspended sediment that have negatively impacted the environment, especially in the Prata River ...

Climate change versus land-use change-What affects the ecosystem services more in the forest-steppe ecotone?

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The Ecosystem services (ESs), which play an important role in the balance of the natural ecosystem and social-economic development, are suffering from degradation caused by human activities and climate change. However, the manner in which the ESs respond

Effects of land-use conversions on the ecosystem services in the agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China

, 2020
As the material base and natural resources of human society, ecosystem services play an essential role in the sustainable development of the ecosystem. Land-use conversions can remarkably alter the provision of ecosystem services.

Species-specific responses of a marsh-forest ecotone plant community responding to climate change.

Ecology, 2021
Ecotones are responsive to environmental change and pave a path for succession as they move across the landscape. We investigated the biotic and abiotic filters to species establishment on opposite ends of a tidal marsh-forest ecotone that is moving ...

Ecotone Hierarchies

Ecological Applications, 1993
Ecological phenomena are evident over a broad spectrum of space and time scales. Ecotones, being defined as zones of transition between adjacent ecological systems, also must occur over an equally broad spectrum of space and time scales. Scale—dependent constraints influence ecological phenomena and resulting zones of transition; however, in ...

Using high-throughput sequencing quantitatively to investigate soil nematode community composition in a steppe-forest ecotone

, 2020
The analysis of nematode community composition by high throughput sequencing (HTS) has attracted much attention because of its advantage for throughput, high resolution and coverage.
