Increased temperature causes different carbon and nitrogen processing patterns in two common intertidal foraminifera (Ammonia tepida and Haynesina germanica) [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Benthic foraminifera are highly abundant heterotrophic protists in marine sediments, but future environmental changes will challenge the tolerance limits of intertidal species.

Land surface phenology as indicator of global terrestrial ecosystem dynamics: A systematic review

, 2021
Vegetation phenology is considered an important biological indicator in understanding the behaviour of ecosystems and how it responds to environmental cues.

What makes a good bat box? How box occupancy depends on box characteristics and landscape‐level variables

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Bat populations are in steep decline and presently, 16% of all species are classified as ‘threatened’. One main driver identified for this decline is the loss of natural roosting opportunities, caused by the removal of natural habitats.

Comparing machine learning-derived global estimates of soil respiration and its components with those from terrestrial ecosystem models

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The CO2 efflux from soil (soil respiration (SR)) is one of the largest fluxes in the global carbon (C) cycle and its response to climate change could strongly influence future atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Environmental Impacts—Terrestrial Ecosystems [PDF]

, 2016
The chapter starts with a discussion of general patterns and processes in terrestrial ecosystems, including the impacts of climate change in relation to productivity, phenology, trophic matches and mismatches, range shifts and biodiversity. Climate impacts on specific ecosystem types—forests, grasslands, heathlands, and mires and peatlands—are then ...

Reanalysis in Earth System Science: Toward Terrestrial Ecosystem Reanalysis

Reviews of Geophysics, 2021
A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled processes and assimilation algorithms has led to Earth system specific

The transportation, transformation and (bio)accumulation of pharmaceuticals in the terrestrial ecosystem.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Soil dwelling organisms, plants and many primary consumers in food webs face the challenge of exposure to contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in terrestrial systems, including thousands of substances derived from pharmaceutical and personal ...

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

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.
