Ecography, EarlyView.Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

Frontiers in Sustainable Food SystemsEnset (Ensete ventricosum) is among the under-researched African crops that serve as a staple food crop in South Ethiopia. Despite potential benefits, tree species are rarely integrated into enset farms, and their potential to enhance soil fertility in ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts
Ecography, EarlyView.Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global ChangeLitter decomposition regulates carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems and is sensitive to nitrogen deposition and drought. As decomposition proceeds, litter chemistry changes and the decomposition rate decrease, likely with a ...

The Nitrogen Fertilizer Value of Baled Broiler Litter for Cotton Production in the Arkansas Delta [PDF]
The export of poultry litter by baling efficiently packages litter for long-term storage and transportation. Use of baled poultry litter to supply the recommended rates of P and K and a portion of the N rate appears to be a feasible nutrient management ...

The role of Empodisma robustum litter in CO₂ exchange at Kopuatai bog [PDF]
, 2014 Respiration from the decomposition of standing dead litter in peatlands influences the ecosystem carbon balance through its contribution to total ecosystem respiration (ER).

Ecography, EarlyView.Knowledge about species' distributions is essential for understanding biodiversity patterns and predicting responses to climate change. The shapes of species' density distributions reflect how their performance varies across their range – shaped by environment, biotic interactions, and dispersal.

High-Quality Litter and Exogenous Cellulase Enhance Soil Nutrient Cycling and Enzymatic Activities
AgricultureLitter decomposition is important for soil nutrient cycling, but how the quality of litter links to nutrient dynamics is still unclear. In this work, high-quality Populus alba × P.
