Provisioning ecosystem services supply and demand: the role of landscape management to reinforce supply and promote synergies with other ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2015-03-14)
Currently, trade enables regions to have a higher provisioning ecosystem services (ES) demand than that provided by ecosystems in the same region. This practice leads to a supply and demand provisioning ES scale mismatch, ...
From the individual to the landscape and back: time-varying effects of climate and herbivory on tree sapling growth at distribution limits.
(Wiley, 2015-12-14)
1. As herbivory can modulate climate-induced shifts in species distribution, disentangling the relative importance of herbivory and climate on plant growth can help to predict and manage future changes in vegetation, such ...
Efficacy of management policies on protection and recovery of natural ecosystems in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve
(Natural Areas Association, 2011-10-01)
Knowledge of landscape patterns and dynamics is essential for land use planners and natural resources managers. They need to know how landscapes have changed in order to determine the consequences and efficacy of the ...
Resilience to drought in a dry forest: insights from demographic rates
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Concern is rising on whether forest function and structure will recover from drought-related impacts, which are expected to increase under global warming. Understanding demographic mechanisms underlying resilience (i.e. ...
Growth and stable isotope signals associated with drought‐related mortality in saplings of two coexisting pine species
(Springer, 2013-06-25)
Drought-induced events of massive tree mortality appear to be increasing worldwide. Species-specific vulnerability to drought mortality may alter patterns of species diversity and affect future forest composition. We have ...
Uneven abundances determine nestedness in climbing plant-host interaction networks
(Elsevier, 2017)
Nestedness is a common pattern in interaction networks. However, its ecological and evolutionary meaning is under debate. Evidence shows that nestedness in mutualistic networks may be just a consequence of the species–abundance ...
Tracking the long-term dynamics of plant diversity in Northeast Spain with a network of volunteers and rangers
(Springer, 2018-05-01)
Scientific projects can greatly benefit from the participation of non-professionals in identifying environmental changes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In 2010, we launched a long-term project in Northeast ...
Plant Responses to Extreme Climatic Events: A Field Test of Resilience Capacity at the Southern Range Edge.
(Public Library Science, 2014-01-28)
The expected and already observed increment in frequency of extreme climatic events may result in severe vegetation shifts. However, stabilizing mechanisms promoting community resilience can buffer the lasting impact of ...
Varying climate sensitivity at the drought-linked distribution edge of P. sylvestris and P. nigra.
(Elsevier, 2013-08-23)
Rear edge populations, those residing at the low-latitude margins of species ranges, represent a critical genetic diversity for species conservation, management, and evolutionary potential. The present study analyses ...
