Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa
ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...

The rate of soil formation in regenerative ecosystems with various combinations of substratum and vegetation conditions [PDF]
The rate of soil regeneration in young ecosystems depends on the combination of substratum-vegetation conditions. Realization of soil formic potentials of biota and substratum can be appreciated by the speed of humus horizon formation. The maximal speeds

Admixing alternative tree species in European beech forests is associated with changes in the functional diversity and composition of forest floor vegetation. Higher functional richness and divergence were observed in stands containing Douglas fir, silver fir, or sessile oak, while shifts in trait composition varied depending on tree species and site ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungal biodiversity from New Caledonian rainforests on ultramafic soils [PDF]
Background: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play key roles in ecosystems functioning, such as in plant community dynamic. However, very few studies have been undertaken in the tropics.

Effects of severe floods and droughts on wildlife of the Pantanal wetland (Brazil) - a review [PDF]
Flooding throughout the Pantanal is seasonal. The complex vegetative cover and high seasonal productivity support a diverse and abundant fauna. A gradient in flood level supports a range of major habitats in a complex mosaic with annual seasonality.
