The soil biota composition along a progressive succession of secondary vegetation in a karst area. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Karst ecosystems are fragile and are in many regions degraded by anthropogenic activities. Current management of degraded karst areas focuses on aboveground vegetation succession or recovery and aims at establishing a forest ecosystem.

Functional trait strategies of trees in dry and wet tropical forests are similar but differ in their consequences for succession. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Global plant trait studies have revealed fundamental trade-offs in plant resource economics. We evaluated such trait trade-offs during secondary succession in two species-rich tropical ecosystems that contrast in precipitation: dry deciduous and wet ...

Forest Return on an Abandoned Field - Secondary Succession Under Monitored Conditions [PDF]
, 2011 The secondary succession pattern observed on an arable field abandoned since 1974 in Tilio-Carpinetum habitat is described and disscussed. Results obtained during 36 years of study confirm that succession on an abandoned field leads from a typical ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

SECONDARY SUCCESSION IN ABANDONED CROP FALLOWS: A REVIEW
International Journal of Environment, 2015 The succession in areas once vegetated before the disturbance to a forest as climax community is called secondary succession. Secondary succession is influenced by soil type and the vegetation that invades the community.

Integrating Stand and Soil Properties to Understand Foliar Nutrient Dynamics during Forest Succession Following Slash-and-Burn Agriculture in the Bolivian Amazon [PDF]
, 2014 Secondary forests cover large areas of the tropics and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. During secondary forest succession, simultaneous changes occur among stand structural attributes, soil properties, and species composition.

Recovery from disturbance requires resynchronization of ecosystem nutrient cycles [PDF]
, 2013 Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are tightly cycled in most terrestrial ecosystems, with plant uptake more than 10 times higher than the rate of supply from deposition and weathering. This near-total dependence on recycled nutrients and the stoichiometric

Sen and the art of educational maintenance: evidencing a capability, as opposed to an effectiveness, approach to schooling [PDF]
, 2012 There are few more widely applied terms in common parlance than ‘capability’. It is used (inaccurately) to represent everything from the aspiration to provide opportunity to notions of innate academic ability, with everything in between claiming ...
