Eutrophication weakens stabilizing effects of diversity in natural grasslands
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-04)
Studies of experimental grassland communities1,2,3,4,5,6,7 have demonstrated that plant diversity can stabilize productivity through species asynchrony, in which decreases in the biomass of some species are compensated for ...
The Gondwanan heritage of the Eocene–Miocene Patagonian floras
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-11)
The breakup of Gondwana and the associated climatic changes led to the fragmentation of floras that were once connected across the Southern lands. The diversity of the Gondwanan remnants has long been assumed to have ...
Sectoral approaches to improve regional carbon budgets
(Springer, 2008-12)
Humans utilise about 40% of the earth’s net primary production (NPP) but the products of this NPP are often managed by different sectors, with timber and forest products managed by the forestry sector and food and fibre ...
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Research, 2021-06)
The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ...
Globe - LFMC a global plant water status database for vegetation ecophysiology and wildfire applications
(2019-08-21)
Globe-LFMC is an extensive global database of live fuel moisture content (LFMC) measured from 1,383 sampling sites in 11 countries: Argentina, Australia, China, France, Italy, Senegal, Spain, South Africa, Tunisia, United ...
Assessing global patterns in mammalian carnivore occupancy and richness by integrating local camera trap surveys
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-06-23)
Biodiversity loss is a major driver of ecosystem change, yet the ecological data required to detect and mitigate losses are often lacking. Recently, camera trap surveys have been suggested as a method for sampling local ...
Microbial processing of plant remains is co-limited by multiple nutrients in global grasslands
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
Microbial processing of aggregate-unprotected organic matter inputs is key for soil fertility, long-term ecosystem carbon and nutrient sequestration and sustainable agriculture. We investigated the effects of adding multiple ...
Vegetation structure is as important as climate for explaining ecosystem function across Patagonian rangelands
(2014-11)
1. Drylands cover about 41% of Earth’s land surface, and 65% of their area supports domestic
livestock that depends on the above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) of natural vegetation.
Thus, understanding how biotic ...
Global macroecology of bird assemblages in urbanized and semi-natural ecosystems
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-05)
Aim Despite the increasing pace of urbanization, little is known about how this process affects biodiversity globally. We investigate macroecological patterns of bird assemblages in urbanized areas relative to semi-natural ...
