Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Narratives of ‘home landscapes’ guide stewardship practices among Swedish forest owners

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Production forests play an important role in addressing many of our current sustainability challenges. Therefore, how these forests are managed and what motivates the people who are managing them are important for sustainability. 47 per cent of forests in Europe are privately owned.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Deciphering the functional and structural complexity of the Solar Lake flat mat microbial benthic communities

open access: yesmSystems
The Solar Lake in Taba, Egypt, encompasses one of the few modern-day microbial mats’ systems metabolically analogous to Precambrian stromatolites. Solar Lake benthic communities and their adaptation to the Lake’s unique limnological cycle have not been ...
