Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3395-3407, April 2026.Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...

Spatial patterns and estimates of global forest litterfall [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2019 AbstractThe quantitative knowledge of global forest litterfall is very important for understanding the global biogeochemical cycle and evaluating of forest ecosystem services. Our aims are to show the spatio‐temporal patterns of forest litterfall and the variation in different forest types and climate zones in the world.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 921-933, April 2026.Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...

CARBON BALANCE AND VEGETATION DYNAMICS IN AN OLD‐GROWTH AMAZONIAN FOREST [PDF]
, 2004 Amazon forests could be globally significant sinks or sources for atmospheric carbon dioxide, but carbon balance of these forests remains poorly quantified.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Nitrogen (N) fixation performed by certain prokaryotes (diazotrophs) is a key source of new N in pristine ecosystems. Diazotrophs associate with various plants, including bryophytes—the dominant plant group in northern ecosystems such as boreal forests. There, bryophyte‐associated N2 fixation contribute half of total ecosystem N input. However,

Ciência Florestal, 2018 The nutrient cycling is influenced by the successional stage. However, there is disagreement in relation to the pattern of this dynamic. The present study aimed to evaluate the chemical attributes of the topsoil and litterfall in two abandoned ...

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Terrestrial respiration is one of the poorly understood processes in the global carbon cycle. However, expanding observations and machine learning approaches have led to a proliferation of estimates. We compiled total ecosystem and heterotrophic respiration estimates derived from top‐down atmospheric inversions and bottom‐up upscaling of ...

Integrating remote sensing datasets into ecological modelling: a Bayesian approach [PDF]
, 2008 Process-based models have been used to simulate 3-dimensional complexities of forest ecosystems and their temporal changes, but their extensive data requirement and complex parameterisation have often limited their use for practical management ...
