Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, 'farms' its invertebrate prey. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.

Can native plant species be preserved in an anthropogenic forest landscape dominated by aliens? A case study from Mediterranean Chile

Annals of Forest Research, 2016
Plantations with fast growing exotic tree species can negatively affect native plant species diversity and promote the spread of alien species. Mediterranean Chile experienced major landscape changes with a vast expansion of industrial plantations of ...

A systematic review of observational studies reporting climate change impacts on plant communities in Mediterranean‐type ecosystems

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Mediterranean‐type ecosystems (MTEs) are highly vulnerable to climate change, with drought, wildfire and climate variability (among other disturbances) causing measurable changes in vegetation condition, growth, diversity, physiology and phenology; yet observational studies remain scarce compared to experimental and modelling studies.

Land Cover Change Drives River Flow Modifications in Central Chile

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study examines the combined effects of land cover change and ENSO on streamflow dynamics in four coastal catchments of central Chile, using a 45‐year (1979–2023) dataset of remote sensing and hydroclimatic data. Conclusions Native forest loss reduced summer flows and PP–Q relationship; preserved forests enhanced resilience.

Surface-bound phosphatase activity in living hyphae of ectomycorrhizal fungi of Nothofagus obliqua

Mycologia, 2004
We determined the location and the activity of surface-bound phosphomonoesterase (SBP) of five ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi of Nothofagus oblique. EM fungal mycelium of Paxillus involutus, Austropaxillus boletinoides, Descolea antartica, Cenococcum geophilum and Pisolithus tinctorius was grown in media with varying concentrations of dissolved phosphorus.
