Does functional trait diversity predict aboveground biomass and productivity of tropical forests? Testing three alternative hypotheses
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-01)
Tropical forests are globally important, but it is not clear whether biodiversity enhances carbon storage and sequestration in them. We tested this relationship focusing on components of functional trait biodiversity as ...
Functional group dominance and identity effects influence the magnitude of grassland invasion
(Wiley Online Library, 2013)
Functional group dominance and identity effects influence the magnitude of grassland invasion
(Wiley, 2013-09)
Variation in functional community composition is expected to influence the extent of exotic species invasions. Yet, whether resident functional groups control invasion through their relative biomass (mass ratio hypothesis) ...
Land use intensity indirectly affects ecosystem services mainly through plant functional identity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Land‐use change is known to affect biodiversity, and there is increasing concern regarding how these changes may impact the provision of ecosystem services. Although functional composition (diversity and identity) could ...
Patterns of sandy-beach macrofauna production
(Cambridge, 2013-11)
Using data available from the literature, patterns of biomass, production and productivity of sandy-beach macrofauna populations were examined, considering environmental (temperature, exposure, grain size and beach slope) ...
Scaling-up from species to ecosystems: how close can we get to actual decomposition?
(Gauthier-villars/editions Elsevier, 2015-01)
Predicting global changes and their effects on ecosystem functioning has been a central issue of ecology during the last decades. Scaling-up from species characteristics to ecosystem processes is a common approach to ...
Microplanktonic diatom assemblages dominated the primary production but not the biomass in an Antarctic fjord
(Elsevier Science, 2021-12)
The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) fjords, currently threatened by climate change, are known as high krill congregation areas, however, the primary productivity in relation to phytoplankton groups in these coastal areas ...
Avaliação do efeito “priming” na qualidade do vermicomposto de Eichhornia crassipes
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERNCâmpus São Carlos, 2021-03-03)
In eutrophicated environments, aquatic macrophytes reproduce rapidly and occupy large areas, hindering the multiple uses of water resources. The use of the biomass of these plants in vermicomposting represents a sustainable ...
