Strong succession in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities. [PDF]

, 2019
The ecology of fungi lags behind that of plants and animals because most fungi are microscopic and hidden in their substrates. Here, we address the basic ecological process of fungal succession in nature using the microscopic, arbuscular mycorrhizal ...

Nutrient allocations and metabolism in two collembolans with contrasting reproduction and growth strategies [PDF]

, 2009
Physiological mechanisms such as allocation and release of nutrients are keys to understanding an animal\u27s adaptation to a particular habitat. This study investigated how two detrivores with contrasting life‐history traits allocated carbon (C) and ...

Diversity patterns of ground beetles and understorey vegetation in mature, secondary and plantation forest regions of temperate Northern China [PDF]

, 2015
Plantation and secondary forests form increasingly important components of the global forest cover, but our current knowledge about their potential contribution to biodiversity conservation is limited.

Herbarium Insights into Bryophyte Dynamics: Resilience and Exclusivity of Species in the Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba Biological Reserve (1900–2022)

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The Reserva Biológica do Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba, established in 1909, was the first biological reserve in South America and spans 336 hectares of Atlantic Forest on the Serra do Mar.

Differentiation of Diatom Guilds in Extreme Environments in the Andean Altiplano

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
The Andean Altiplano is characterized by its isolation, high altitude (>3,600 m a.s.l.), and a unique biodiversity, containing water systems such as lakes, rivers, wetlands, and salt flats.

Quantifying Assemblage Turnover and Species Contributions at Ecologic Boundaries

PLoS ONE, 2013
Not all boundaries, whether stratigraphical or geographical, are marked by species-level changes in community composition. For example, paleodata for some sites do not show readily discernible glacial-interglacial contrasts. Rather, the proportional abundances of species can vary subtly between glacials and interglacials.

Reserve Size And Fragmentation Alter Community Assembly, Diversity, And Dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
Researchers have disputed whether a single large habitat reserve will support more species than many small reserves. However, relatively little is known from a theoretical perspective about how reserve size affects competitive communities structured by ...

Uncovering the effects of grazing exclusion duration on plant richness and biomass in alpine grasslands using the price equation

Frontiers in Plant Science
Grazing exclusion is a key strategy for restoring degraded alpine grasslands. However, the mechanisms underlying plant species richness and biomass responses to long-term enclosure, particularly species turnover and biomass redistribution, remain unclear.

Tropical forests and global atmospheric change: a synthesis [PDF]

, 2004
We present a personal perspective on the highlights of the Theme Issue 'Tropical forests and global atmospheric change'. We highlight the key findings on the contemporary rate of climatic change in the tropics, the evidence--gained from field studies--of

Tama-risk? Avian responses to the invasion of saltcedars (Tamarix ramosissima) in Sonora, Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013
Although exotic plant invasions are one of the most important components of global change, previous studies have found some of the alien species to provide resources and/or conditions to native biota.
