Abstract:
... Resilience is crucial to promote the ecosystem sustainability and maintain ecosystem functions and services. Clarifying the variation regularity of the resilience can provide a theory foundation for the restoration and management of degraded ecosystems. Grassland cultivation has been largely used to restore extensively distributed “Black Beach”, the severely degraded alpine meadow on the Qinghai-T ...

The diversity of dark-spored myxomycetes in forest ground litter and soil from four study plots across a fire chronosequence in Nizhne-Svirskiy Nature Reserve (northwest of Russia) was assessed by a DNA metabarcoding approach. The history of fire disturbances and the season of sampling influenced the composition of myxomycete assemblages. Several species showed substrate preferences different from ...

Abstract:
... A potentially important factor for destabilization of soil organic C (SOC) in the conversion of ecosystems to arable land is the impact to microbial residues, which have been recently shown to be a significant source of SOC pool. Here, we present the results of a study investigating the changes of microbial residues along a chronosequence of cultivation (5, 15, and 25 years) and attempted restorat ...

Abstract:
... Opencast coal mining has a series of consequences on land resources and places enormous pressure on the ecological environment. Stripping, excavation, transportation and dumping have different effects on soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Moreover, the reconstructed landscape produces increased small-scale spatial heterogeneity of mined soils. Currently, growing concerns for the ne ...

Abstract:
... Recent findings suggest that soil organic carbon mineralization and stabilization depend to a substantial degree on the soil geochemistry and the degree of weathering. We hypothesized that this dependence can be translated to decay rate modifiers in a model context, and used data from the Merced chronosequence (CA, U.S.A., 100 yr–3 Myr), representing a weathering sequence, to test, on a 1000-year ...

Abstract:

Despite the large extension of restored forests, the success of contrasting restoration strategies (active – planted forests ‐ vs. passive – secondary forests ‐) over time has never been evaluated in Mediterranean forests. We studied how restoration strategy determined forest restoration success. We ...

Abstract:

Many Proteaceae are highly phosphorus (P)‐sensitive and occur exclusively on old nutrient‐impoverished acidic soils (calcifuge), whilst a few also occur on young calcareous soils (soil‐indifferent) that are higher in available calcium (Ca) and P. Calcium increases the severity of P‐toxicity symptoms, but its underlying mechanisms are unknown. We propose that Ca‐enhanced P toxicity explains the cal ...

For instance, SODMs are increasingly used to analyse environmental DNA (eDNA) data, taking into account the occurrence of both false‐positive and false‐negative errors. However, species occurrence data are often characterized by spatial and temporal autoc ...

Abstract:
... The spatial variability (i.e. heterogeneity) of environmental variables determines a wide range of ecosystem features and plays a key role in regulating key ecosystem services. Wildfires are among the most significant natural disturbances that forests face, but our knowledge about their effect on ecosystem spatial variability is still limited. We used a 19-year fire chronosequence of natural, unma ...

Abstract:
... Species‐level dispersal information can give mechanistic insights into how spatial processes impact plant communities.

Abstract:
... Robert MacArthur developed a theory of community assembly based on competition. By incorporating energy flow, MacArthur's theory allows for predictions of community function. A key prediction is that communities minimise energy wastage over time, but this minimisation is a trade‐off between two conflicting processes: exploiting food resources, and maintaining low metabolism and mortality. Despite ...

Results indicated that although no-tillage is a conservation system, it has either slightly ...
