GPP of a Chinese Savanna Ecosystem during Different Phenological Phases Simulated from Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 Data

Remote Sensing
Savannas are widespread biomes with highly valued ecosystem services. To successfully manage savannas in the future, it is critical to better understand the long-term dynamics of their productivity and phenology.

Ecosystem‐scale effects of megafauna in African savannas

Ecography, 2015
Natural protected areas are critically important in the effort to prevent large‐scale megafaunal extinctions caused by hunting and habitat degradation. Yet such protection can lead to rapid increases in megafauna populations. Understanding ecosystem‐scale responses of vegetation to changing megafaunal populations, such as the case ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus pools and fluxes in upland and seasonally flooded forests and woodlands of the Cerrado-Pantanal transition of Brazil

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
Brazilian tropical savanna (referred to as Cerrado) has enormous structural variability ranging from tree- and shrub-free grasslands to tall, dense forests that are found in both well-drained upland and seasonally flooded (hyperseasonal) landforms. These

Thermal adaptation of net ecosystem exchange [PDF]

, 2011
Thermal adaptation of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration has been well documented over broad thermal gradients. However, no study has examined their interaction as a function of temperature, i.e.

Palatability of geophyte underground storage organs partially explains their depth in the Cape Floristic Region, geophyte capital of the world

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...
