Abstract:
... Dinitrogen (N₂)-fixing woody plants, mainly alder (Alnus) species, have widely expanded to boreal peatlands. However, little is known about the effect of N₂-fixing plant expansion on soil phosphorus (P) dynamics and its potential mechanisms in these ecosystems. To clarify the response of soil P status to N₂-fixing plant expansion, we compared the differences in aboveground plant biomass, soil tota ...

This paper summarizes and reviews the absolute PPEs (aPPEs) that were obtained with the area-based flower counting approach since the 1970s. The data for 23 species of trees are available from Japan and for 22 species of Poaceae from Japan, Spain, and Morocc ...

Abstract:
... The retention of trees bearing tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs) has become an important means of conserving biodiversity in production forests. However, we lack estimates of TreM formation rates and evidence on factors driving TreM formation. Based on the observation of 80,099 living trees from 19 species groups in Europe and Iran, we estimated the probability of TreM occurrence on trees and the ...

Abstract:
... Our knowledge about the Holocene vegetation changes in southern China has been based on the inference from pollen percentages. However, the relationship between pollen percentages and vegetation is non-linear. This may lead to significant bias in real vegetation cover and limit our understanding of land cover changes and its relation to climate and human activities. Here we quantitatively reconstr ...

Lithological and paleovegetation data from sites in the Elikchan region of the Upper Kolyma basin provide insights into the permafrost history of the mountain valleys of interior Western Beringia. The Elikchan records show a period of peat accumulation between ∼12,000 and 9500 cal BP, which parallels trends in the northern coastal lowlands. This interval corresponds to a time when summers were war ...
