Rootzone storage capacity reveals drought coping strategies along rainforest-savanna transitions
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Climate change and deforestation have increased the risk of drought-induced forest-to-savanna transitions across the tropics and subtropics. However, the present understanding of forest-savanna transitions is generally focused on the influence of ...

First insights into the movement patterns of maned wolf with sarcoptic mange
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding how infectious diseases influence wildlife behavior, particularly in habitats undergoing modification, is crucial for predicting disease outbreaks, assessing impacts on population fitness, and mitigating human health risks. Sarcoptic mange can alter wildlife movement and space use, yet its effects on threatened carnivores remain unclear ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Response of carbon fluxes to water relations in a savanna ecosystem in South Africa [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2008 The principal mechanisms that connect carbon fluxes with water relations in savanna ecosystems were studied by using eddy covariance method in a savanna ecosystem at Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Monitoring of forest ecosystems in Ireland : FOREM 9 project : final report [PDF]
, 2004 Intensive monitoring has been carried out under EC Regulation 3528/86 (project number 8860 IR 001.0) at Ballyhooly, Co. Cork since 1988. In 1991, three new plots (Roundwood, Cloosh and Brackloon) were established (9060IR0030) to give a more ...

Woody cover and geology as regional‐scale determinants of semi‐arid savanna stability
Remote Sensing in Ecology and ConservationSavannas, defined by a balance of woody and herbaceous vegetation, are vital for global biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Yet, their stability is increasingly at risk due to climate change and human impacts.
