Dew Characterization and its Ecological Effects on Vegetation: A Review
Abstract Dew is ubiquitous but also the least studied hydrological component in most ecosystems. Dew can serve as a supplementary water source for sustaining plant growth and potentially play an important role in broader ecosystem functions, especially in drylands.

Our framework links policy targets (achieving good ecological status) and actions (nutrient emission reductions) to realized biodiversity benefits. The approach also supports the optimal placement of monitoring sites under different nutrient abatement scenarios.

Yap diatoms—from freshwater streams through estuaries and mangroves to the marine coral reefs—had been sampled in 1988 and 2014 and a few species from the 1988 collections described in a 2009 report. The present paper documents 168 new records, including

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.

Contributions to the bryoflora of Australia 1 [PDF]
During a joint field trip organised by H. Streimann in 1999, the authors collected large amount of bryophytes in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria states and in the Austral Capital Territory (A.C.T.).

Abstract Introduction The flat oyster Ostrea angasi previously formed extensive reefs throughout temperate regions of Australia. These reefs were overharvested and destroyed after European colonization and have been functionally extinct for >150 years. While large‐scale subtidal O.

Scientific results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 7., life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes from tropical lowland and montane forests, ericaceous woodlands and the Dendrosenecio subpáramo of the eastern Congo basin and the adjacent mountains (Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega/Zaire, Forêt de Nyungwe/Rwanda) [PDF]
Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect).

Composición y estructura de la vegetación epífita vascular en un bosque primario de Olivillo (Aextoxicon punctatum R. et P.) en el sur de Chile [PDF]
Vascular epiphytes represent 10% of the total vascular plants of the world. Nevertheless, because it is hard to reach them in the forest upper-canopy where they usually live, there are few studies (especially in Chile) about them.
