Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]

, 2005
The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

Impact of pathogenic fungi, herbivores and predators on secondary succession of tropical rainforest vegetation

Journal of Ecology, 2020
There is growing evidence that top–down biotic factors play an important role in plant community dynamics and are able to maintain the high plant diversity of primary tropical forests.

Microbial gradual shifts during the process of species replacement in Taihang Mountain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionUnderstanding microbial gradual shifts along species replacement can help elucidate the mechanisms driving secondary succession, and predict microbial responses to changing environments. However, how climate-induced species replacement alters

Seedling Emergence from Seed Banks in Ludwigia hexapetala-Invaded Wetlands: Implications for Restoration [PDF]

, 2019
Soil seed banks play a critical role in the maintenance of wetland plant communities and contribute to revegetation following disturbances. Analysis of the seed bank can therefore inform restoration planning and management.

Phylogenetic structure and diversity among herpetofaunal communities along a successional gradient of a tropical dry forest in Mexico

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The tropical dry forest (TDF) is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, but also one of the most threatened. Therefore, it is critical to understand the processes that control community assembly and generate diversity during succession.

Shifts in soil nutrient concentrations and C:N:P stoichiometry during long-term natural vegetation restoration [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background Ecological stoichiometry (C:N:P ratios) in soil is an important indicator of the elemental balance in ecological interactions and processes.

Secondary succession of overgrazed Pannonian sandy grasslands [PDF]

, 2008
We assessed vegetation changes on acidic sandy soils in permanent plots to follow secondary succession after cessation of intensive goose breeding in E Hungary.We also aimed to estimate the time required for vegetation regeneration and indicate ...

Germline TP53 Mutations Causing Diamond–Blackfan Anemia: A French Report

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diamond–Blackfan anemia is a rare congenital erythroblastopenia typically caused by mutations in ribosomal protein genes. Recently, gain‐of‐function mutations in TP53 have been identified as a novel cause of Diamond–Blackfan anemia. We report two French patients who both harbored a heterozygous TP53 deletion (NM_000546.5: c.1077delA; p ...

Multitrophic energy flux in soil micro-food webs: the primacy of functional diversity across primary and secondary forest succession

Geoderma
Forest restoration is a cornerstone strategy for combating global biodiversity loss and restoring degraded ecosystem functions. Energy fluxes within ecological communities serve as the link between multitrophic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning ...

Temporal analysis of butterfly diversity in a succession gradient in a fragmented tropical landscape of Mexico

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
We analyze changes in the diversity of butterflies under a scheme of secondary succession in a fragmented landscape of the Huasteca of Hidalgo, Mexico over two seasons (rainy and dry) and four successional stages (cattle pasture, early secondary ...
