Local topographic and edaphic factors largely predict shrub encroachment in Mediterranean drylands [PDF]
Shrub encroachment influences several ecosystem services in drylands worldwide. Yet, commonly used strategies to reduce encroachment show a low medium-term success, calling for a better understanding of its causes.

Early dynamics of natural revegetation on roadslopes in the Salamanca province [PDF]
La revegetación de taludes de carreteras tiene interés tanto desde el punto de vista del paisaje como del control de la erosión, pero falta información sobre la colonización espontánea y la dinámica de la vegetación en ellos. Los estudios de revegetación

Response of soil carbon and plant diversity to grazing and precipitation in High Nature Value farmlands [PDF]
Mediterranean oak-dominated agro-silvo-pastoral systems of southwestern Europe (called montado in Portugal and dehesa in Spain) are semi-natural, savannah-style High Nature Value farmlands (HNVfs) shaped by centuries of anthropogenic (e.g., cultivation ...

Waterbird-Mediated Dispersal and Freshwater Biodiversity: General Insights From Bryozoans [PDF]
Freshwater environments are fragmented and heterogeneous in space and time. Long term persistence thus necessitates at least occasional dispersal of aquatic organisms to locate suitable habitats.

DISPERSÃO DE FUNGOS MICORRÍZICOS ARBUSCULARES POR MORCEGOS EM UM FRAGMENTO URBANO DE FLORESTA TROPICAL [PDF]
Associations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant species may occur in terrestrial and air environments and need an effective dispersal, which occurs mainly by biotic vectors.
