Quantitatively Simulating Flood Processes Under Different Karst Landforms and Water‐Bearing Media
Water Resources ResearchLandforms and water‐bearing media in karst regions greatly influence the patterns of hydrological processes (runoff generation and confluence) and water circulation, resulting in notable differences in the formation and propagation of flood processes ...

Distribution pattern and driving factors of mite communities in karst cave ecosystems
Ecology and EvolutionAbstractMites are among the most abundant invertebrates in subsurface ecosystems, and their community assemblages and distributions are often significantly influenced by the diversity of habitat resources. The cave ecosystem encompasses drastic changes in nonbiological factors, such as changes in lighting conditions from bright to extraordinarily dark ...

Did belowground N transfer in mixed plantations of Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus meet the Stress Gradient Hypothesis? [PDF]
, 2019 Belowground interactions in mixed forest plantations remain poorly understood as that of short-tenn nitrogen (N) transfer from N-fixing trees to non-N-fixing trees (Non-NFT) depending on nutrient availability. We investigated in this facilitation process

New taxa of Xylariales from Karst Ecosystems in Southwestern China
MycosphereThe order Xylariales consists of fungi that are widely distributed and commonly found on decaying wood, fallen branches, and trunks. Despite the taxonomic and morphological challenges in accurately identifying species within this group, interest in Xylariales has increased in recent years, largely due to their ecological significance and and species ...

Islandness: Vulnerability and resilience in Oceania [PDF]
, 2009 Pacific and other islands have long been represented as sites of vulnerability. Despite this, communities on many Pacific islands survived for millennia prior to the intrusion of people from Europe into their realm. An examination of traditional disaster
