Controls on Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in a Degrading Permafrost Peatland Complex

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Permafrost peatlands are vulnerable to rapid structural changes under climatic warming, including vertical collapse. Peatland water budgets, and therefore peat hydraulic properties, are important determinants of vegetation and carbon fluxes. Measurements of hydraulic properties exist for only a limited number of permafrost peatland locations ...

Species interactions, environmental gradients and body size shape population niche width

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 1, Page 154-169, January 2022., 2022
How individual variation and population niche width differ among populations and contexts? This study demonstrates a hump‐shaped relationship between population niche width of a generalist fish with increasing intensity on interspecific interactions, which can help us understand the driving forces of niche variation in nature.
