Priority effects in coral–macroalgae interactions can drive alternate community paths in the absence of top‐down control

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The outcomes of species interactions can vary greatly in time and space with the outcomes of some interactions determined by priority effects. On coral reefs, benthic algae rapidly colonize disturbed substrate. In the absence of top‐down control from herbivorous fishes, these algae can inhibit the recruitment of reef‐building corals, leading ...

A critical examination of crop-yield data for vegetables, maize and Tea for commercialized Sri Lankan biofilm biofertilizers [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
With increasing global interest in microbial methods for agriculture, the commercialization of biofertilizers in Sri Lanka is of general interest. The use of a biofilm-biofertilizer (BFBF) commercialized in Sri Lanka is claimed to reduce chemical fertilizer (CF) usage by ~50 per cent while boosting harvest by 20-30 per cent.

Root hemiparasitic plants are associated with more even communities across North America

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Root hemiparasitic plants both compete with and extract resources from host plants. By reducing the abundance of dominant plants and releasing subordinates from competitive exclusion, they can have an outsized impact on plant communities. Most research on the ecological role of hemiparasites is manipulative and focuses on a small number of ...
