The diversity–stability relationship in floral production
(Wiley, 2014-04)
The diversity–stability hypothesis posits that species diversity confers redundancy in function, so that richer communities show higher temporal stability in ecosystem processes than poorer communities. The diversity–stability ...
Effect of Microbial Species Richness on Community Stability and Community Function in a Model Plant-Based Wastewater Processing System
(Springer, 2006-10-31)
Microorganisms will be an integral part of biologically based waste processing systems used for water purification or nutrient recycling on long-term space missions planned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. ...
Species functional redundancy, random extinctions and the stability of ecosystems
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2001)
Niche partitioning due to adaptive foraging reverses effects of nestedness and connectance on pollination network stability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
Much research debates whether properties of ecological networks such as nestedness and connectance stabilise biological communities while ignoring key behavioural aspects of organisms within these networks. Here, we ...
Flower-heads, herbivores, and their parasitoids: food web structure along a fertility gradient
(Blackwell Publishing LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2005)
Directional, stabilizing, and disruptive trait selection as alternative mechanisms for plant community assembly
(Ecological Society of America, 2017-03-30)
How plant functional traits (e.g., seed mass) drive species abundance within communities remains an unsolved question. Borrowing concepts from natural selection theory, we propose that trait-abundance relationships can ...
The stability of various community types in sand dune ecosystems of northeastern ChinaEstabilidad de varios tipos de comunidad en ecosistemas de dunas en el noreste de China
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2017-12)
La estabilidad de comunidades artificiales que contribuyen a la fijación de suelos arenosos no se ha estudiado completamente. Se desarrolló un índice de similitud para evaluar la estabilidad de comunidades artificiales en ...
Relationships among forest structure, solar radiation, and plant community in ponderosa pine plantations in the Patagonian steppe
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
In Patagonia, Argentina, forest management in plantations with exotic pines usually focus on timber production, without considering the plant community of their understory. However, there is growing interest in conserving ...
Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high-Andean cushion plant
(BLACKWELL, 2006-11)
Comparative and integrative tools are of fundamental value in ecology for understanding outcomes of biological processes, and making generalizations and predictions. Although ecosystem engineering has been shown to play a ...
