Salt marsh zonation patterns generate different abiotic and biotic conditions that can accentuate species inherent differences in primary production and biomass. In South West Atlantic marshes, there are two Spartina ...

In this study, the daily and seasonal influences of abiotic factors and the amount of floral resources on the foraging frequency of bees were determined. The experiments were performed, during 12 consecutive months, in the ...

Among environmental factors, drought is the principal factor that limits global agricultural production. Many global agricultural regions are already suffering serious problems with water shortage and this scenario suggests ...

Identifying and further weighting the role of biotic versus abiotic processes in microbialite formation remain a big challenge. The Maquinchao basin is a closed continental basin in northwestern Patagonia, east of the Andes ...

Biotic and abiotic context may affect the intensity of interspecific interactions and subsequently drive locally particular phenotypic selection patterns on interacting traits. We evaluated the geographical variation of ...

Interactions between nitrogen (Ns) and water stress (Ws) effects on annual crops productivity have been widely investigated in Mediterranean-type regions, but not in the humid temperate ones as the central Pampas of ...

Studies of biodiversity in the desert and semi-desert environments are very interesting because the associated fauna to these environments exhibits significant morphological, physiological and behavioural adaptations to ...

Successional dynamics of plants and animals during tropical forest regeneration have been thoroughly studied, while fungal compositional dynamics during tropical forest succession remain unknown, despite the crucial roles ...
