Bryophytes of Bioko (Equatorial Guinea) : results of an excursion in 2002 [PDF]

, 2006
97 species of bryophytes are reported as new for the island of Bioko, 89 of them are new for whole Equatorial Guinea, a remarkable amount is new for tropical West Africa and Micromitrium tenerum is new for sub-Saharan Africa. The bryoflora of the highest

Overcoming barriers to seedling regeneration during forest restoration on tropical pasture land and the potential value of woody weeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Combating the legacy of deforestation on tropical biodiversity requires the conversion to forest of large areas of established pasture, where barriers to native plant regeneration include competition with pasture grasses and poor propagule supply (seed ...

Glacier Retreat Amplifies Interannual Variability in Watershed Runoff, Organic Carbon and Nutrient Yields

Geophysical Research Letters
Glacier retreat is projected to drive major shifts in the hydrology of many high‐elevation and high‐latitude watersheds. In particular, future decreases in glacier runoff are hypothesized to reduce the stability of hydro‐biogeochemical export.

Specialized insectivores drive differences in avian community composition between primary and secondary forest in Central Africa

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The human population of sub-Saharan Africa is projected to triple by 2100, drastically increasing anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity. When rainforest is disturbed by anthropogenic drivers, species respond heterogeneously; these patterns have rarely ...

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia [PDF]

, 2013
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

Dynamics of Tipping Cascades on Complex Networks

, 2020
Tipping points occur in diverse systems in various disciplines such as ecology, climate science, economy or engineering. Tipping points are critical thresholds in system parameters or state variables at which a tiny perturbation can lead to a qualitative

Glacier runoff impacts the stoichiometry of riverine nutrient export from coastal Alaskan catchments

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding the impacts of glacier change on riverine ecosystems is limited by a lack of multi-year studies in glacierized mountain catchments quantifying the magnitude and stoichiometry of riverine biogeochemical yields.

Without management interventions, endemic wet‐sclerophyll forest is transitioning to rainforest in World Heritage listed K’gari (Fraser Island), Australia

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Wet‐sclerophyll forests are unique ecosystems that can transition to dry‐sclerophyll forests or to rainforests. Understanding of the dynamics of these forests for conservation is limited. We evaluated the long‐term succession of wet‐sclerophyll forest on
