A Vegetation and Soil Survey Method for Surveillance Monitoring of Rangeland Environments

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Ecosystem surveillance monitoring is critical to managing natural resources and especially so under changing environments. Despite this importance, the design and implementation of monitoring programs across large temporal and spatial scales has been ...

Effects of drought on nitrogen turnover and abundances of ammonia-oxidizers in mountain grassland [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Future climate scenarios suggest an increased frequency of summer drought periods in the European Alpine Region. Drought can affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling, by altering N transformation rates, as well as the abundances of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and

Terrestrial Ecosystems in a Changing Environment: A Dominant Role for Water [PDF]

, 2015
Transpiration—the movement of water from the soil, through plants, and into the atmosphere—is the dominant water flux from the earth\u27s terrestrial surface.

Accelerometry reveals limits to use of an energy‐saving anthropogenic food source by a threatened species: A case of Carnaby's cockatoos (Zanda latirostris) and canola

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The use of anthropogenic resources is becoming increasingly common as species adapt to human‐induced environmental changes, but their use can expose species to new risks.

Root Exudation of Primary Metabolites: Mechanisms and Their Roles in Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization.

Plant diversity and functional identity alter ant occurrence and activity in experimental grasslands

Ecosphere, 2022
Increasing plant species richness has been shown to positively affect the diversity of a range of other organisms, both above‐ and belowground. Although ants have a multitude of interactions with other organisms through their role as predators and ...

Terrestrial ecosystems

, 2018
Abstract Chapter 14 “Terrestrial ecosystems” focuses on the use of eDNA analysis for the study of terrestrial organisms, especially those found in or associated with soil. While eDNA-based analyses have rapidly gained momentum in the freshwater ecology community, first for single-species detection and more recently for diversity surveys,

Effect of flower identity and diversity on reducing aphid populations via natural enemy communities

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Floral plantings are often used in agriculture to attract pollinator communities, but they also play an important role in recruiting and establishing natural communities for natural pest control.
