Guanacos’ and domestic livestock’s summer diets comparison in ecotone of “Tierra del Fuego” (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2018 At present, it is believed that the population of guanacos has increased in the “Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego”, arising a conflict with livestock and forestry activities.

Transition from connected to fragmented vegetation across an environmental gradient: scaling laws in ecotone geometry [PDF]
, 2009 A change in the environmental conditions across space—for example, altitude or latitude—can cause significant changes in the density of a vegetation type and, consequently, in spatial connectivity.

Water, rather than temperature, dominantly impacts how soil fauna affect dissolved carbon and nitrogen release from fresh litter during early litter decomposition [PDF]
, 2016 Longstanding observations suggest that dissolved materials are lost from fresh litter through leaching, but the role of soil fauna in controlling this process has been poorly documented.

Review of the distribution of Lophostoma carrikeri (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), with range extension to transitional vegetation zones in the southwestern Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2020 Lophostoma carrikeri has been mostly recorded within the Amazon biome. There are scarce records in the northern Brazilian Amazon, but also records outside this biome, which were neglected in literature.

Sensitivity of the grassland-forest ecotone in East African open woodland savannah to historical rainfall variation [PDF]
, 2014 . Fossil pollen records provide key insight into the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change at longer time scales. However, tracing vegetation response to relatively modest historical climate fluctuations is often complicated by the ...

Plant functional traits modulate the effects of soil acidification on above- and belowground biomass [PDF]
BiogeosciencesAtmospheric sulfur (S) deposition has been increasingly recognized as a major driver of soil acidification. However, little is known about how soil acidification influences above- and belowground biomass by altering leaf and root traits. We conducted a 3-

Influence of drainage status on soil and water chemistry, litter decomposition and soil respiration in central Amazonian forests on sandy soils [PDF]
, 2011 Central Amazonian rainforest landscape supports a mosaic of tall terra firme rainforest and ecotone campinarana, riparian and campina forests, reflecting topography-induced variations in soil, nutrient and drainage conditions.

A comparison of presettlement and modern forest composition along an elevation gradient in central New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2011 Tree species composition is influenced not only by edaphic and climatic factors but also by natural and human-caused disturbances. To understand interactions among these influences, we compared forest species composition data from the time of European ...
