Abstract:
... Fire is a frequent disturbance in most grasslands around the world, being key for the structure and dynamics of the biodiversity in such ecosystems. While grassland species may be resilient, little is known on how plant–pollinator networks reassemble after fire. Here, we investigate the structure and dynamics of plant–pollinator networks and the variation in species roles over a 2-year post-fire c ...

Abstract:
... Assessment of soil quality is one of the most important issues concerning changes in coastal ecosystem services resulting from the establishment of Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) marshes. Conventional recognition of soil quality involves many soil analyses that can be costly and time consuming; by contrast, visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS) for the prediction of soil quality ...

Abstract:
... Grasslands are historically and evolutionarily associated with disturbances, such as fire, that drive biodiversity assembly patterns and biotic interactions. Disturbance suppression in fire‐prone ecosystems usually leads to a decline in forb diversity and flowering due to biomass accumulation, which could jeopardise pollinator diversity. In this study, we investigated patterns and drivers of plant ...

Abstract:
... Community ecologists usually consider the Euclidean distance inappropriate to explore the multivariate structure of species abundance data. This is because the Euclidean distance may lead to the counterintuitive result for which two sample plots with no species in common may be more similar to each other than two plots that share the same species list. To overcome this paradoxical situation, the s ...
