A fire-driven shift from forest to non-forest: Evidence for alternative stable states?
(Ecological Society of America, 2014)
© 2014 by the Ecological Society of America. We test the validity of applying the alternative stable state paradigm to account for the landscape-scale forest/non-forest mosaic that prevails in temperate Tasmania, Australia. ...
Seasonal-dependence in the responses of biological communities to flood pulses in warm temperate floodplain lakes: implications for the “alternative stable states” model
(Springer, 2014-10)
In floodplains located in temperate regions, seasonal variations in temperature affect biological communities and these effects may overlap with those of the flood regime. In this study we explored if and how timing (with ...
Disturbance Maintains Alternative Biome States
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2016)
UNDERSTANDING AND PREDICTING EFFECTS OF MODIFIED INTERACTIONS THROUGH A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY STRUCTURE
(University of Chicago, 2007-09)
Models of ecological communities are traditionally based on relationships between pairs of species,
where the strengths of per capita interactions are fixed and independent of population abundance. A
growing body of ...
Thermally induced solid-state transformation of cimetidine. A multi-spectroscopic/chemometrics determination of the kinetics of the process and structural elucidation of one of the products as a stable N3-enamino tautomer
(Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
Exposure of cimetidine (CIM) to dry heat (160-180 °C) afforded, upon cooling, a glassy solid containing new and hitherto unknown products. The kinetics of this process was studied by a second order chemometrics-assisted ...
The distinct roles of water table depth and soil properties in controlling alternative woodland-grassland states in the Cerrado
(2021-03-01)
Open grassy vegetation and forests share riparian zones across the Neotropical savannas, characterizing alternative stable states. However, factors determining the occurrence and maintenance of each vegetation type are yet ...
Non-additive effects of alternative stable states on landscape flammability in NW Patagonia: Fire history and simulation modelling evidence
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-01)
Understanding the relationship between flammability and time since fire (TSF) is crucial for predicting ecosystem responses to changes in fire regimes. Landscapes composed of alternative stable states displaying positive ...
Regime shifts between free-floating plants and phytoplankton: a review
(Springer, 2014-11)
Field studies evidence shifts between phytoplankton and free-floating plant regimes; yet, it is unclear what drives these shifts and if they are critical transitions (alternative stable states). In this review, we synthesized ...
Antarctic ascidians under increasing sedimentation: Physiological thresholds and ecosystem hysteresis
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Glacier melting sediment inputs affect coastal ecosystems on the Antarctic Peninsula. In Potter Cove (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica), the shift from an “ascidian dominated” to a “mixed” assemblage has been linked to ...
