Forest ecosystem responses to edge effects and secondary forest development in northeastern Costa Rica: implications for conservation
(University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2007)
Forest structure was examined at 20+ year old forest-pasture edges to assess edge effects. Stem density was significantly higher at forest edges than interiors due to an increase in small diameter trees close to edges. ...
Edge effects on insect-plant food webs: Assessing the influence of geographical orientation and microclimatic conditions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
1. Geographical orientation affects the magnitude of microclimatic edge effects, mainly by altering the exposure to solar radiation. There is considerable evidence about the influence of microclimatic edge effects on ...
Functional responses to edge effects: Seed dispersal in the southern Atlantic forest, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2014-09)
Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms behind population and community responses to edge effects. However, functional responses remain poorly explored. Seed dispersal is a key process in ecosystem ...
An exact algorithm for the edge coloring by total labeling problem
(Springer, 2018-07)
This paper addresses the edge coloring by total labeling graph problem. This is a labeling of the vertices and edges of a graph such that the weights (colors) of the edges, defined by the sum of its label and the labels ...
Solute effects on edge dislocation pinning in complex alpha-Fe alloys
(Elsevier Science, 2017-10)
Reactor pressure vessel steels are well-known to harden and embrittle under neutron irradiation, mainly because of the formation of obstacles to the motion of dislocations, in particular, precipitates and clusters composed ...
Spatiotemporal dynamics of citrus huanglongbing spread: a case study
(2018-09-01)
Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is a severe disease caused by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ and vectored by Diaphorina citri. In commercial orchards, where the disease is controlled by removal of trees with symptoms and ...
Movements of neotropical understory passerines affected by anthropogenic forest edges in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008)
Edge effects are suggested to have great impact on the persistence of species in fragmented landscapes. We tested edge avoidance by forest understory passerines in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest and also compared their ...
Urbanization Impacts on Mammals across Urban-Forest Edges and a Predictive Model of Edge Effects
(2014)
With accelerating rates of urbanization worldwide, a better understanding of ecological processes at the wildland-urban
interface is critical to conserve biodiversity. We explored the effects of high and low-density housing ...
Non-random food-web assembly at habitat edges increases connectivity and functional redundancy.
(Ecological Society of America, 2017-03)
Habitat fragmentation dramatically alters the spatial configuration of landscapes, with the creation of artificial edges affecting community structure and dynamics. Despite this, it is not known how the different food webs ...
Chaco forest fragmentation effects on leaf litter decomposition are not explained by changes in litter fauna
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09)
Forest fragmentation is a component of global change, with substantial impact on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Despite extensive evidence of forest fragmentation effects on aboveground ecological processes, little ...
