Large zooplankton can efficiently graze on algae and thereby improve water quality. However, zooplankton body size is considered to decrease with decr......
Restoration of natural forests previously replaced by plantations is a widespread challenge for forestry in Chile and elsewhere. However, there is lit......
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strongly influences climate and hydrology on the planet and may drive the structure and functioning of estuari......
Water use efficiency (WUE), the carbon uptake per unit of water consumption, is a critical indicator of the coupling between water and carbon cycles i......
Coastal vegetated ecosystems such as saltmarshes and seagrasses are important sinks of organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), with large global ......
Wildfire disturbance is important for tree regeneration in boreal ecosystems. A considerable amount of literature has been published on how wildfires ......
The terrestrial methane budget varies between different vegetation types and soil conditions and is highly uncertain for alpine grasslands. This work ......
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics influence aquatic ecosystem metabolism with ecological and biogeochemical effects. During microbial degradatio......
Many lakes have areas that are colonized by different types of macrophytes, including emergent plants that are rooted in sediments. Emergent macrophyt......
High-intensity hurricane disturbances have severe consequences on forest structure and functioning. Through wind force and heavy rainfall, they cause ......
Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics, delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth ......
The historic extirpation and subsequent recovery of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) have profoundly changed coastal social-ecological systems across the n......
Understanding the ecological mechanisms underpinning distribution patterns is vital in managing populations of mobile marine species. This study is a ......
Tropical forests and savannas can co-occur in a range of macro-environmental conditions. In these conditions, disturbances and resource availability a......
National Forest Inventories (NFIs) perform systematic forest surveys across space and time. They are hence powerful tools to understand climate contro......
