Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation: Evidence from Palaearctic grasslands
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Aim Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes ...
Local Perceptions of Ecosystem Services Across Multiple Ecosystem Types in Spain
(MDPI, 2020-09-18)
Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences ...
Relationship between tillage management and DMPSA nitrification inhibitor efficiency
(Elsevier, 2020-05-20)
Agricultural sustainability is compromised by nitrogen (N) losses caused by soil microbial activity. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) produced as consequence of nitrification and denitrification processes ...
Testing macroecological abundance patterns: The relationship between local abundance and range size, range position and climatic suitability among European vascular plants
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim A fundamental question in macroecology centres around understanding the relationship between species' local abundance and their distribution in geographical and climatic space (i.e. the multi-dimensional climatic space ...
EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats
(Wiley, 2020-10)
Aim The EUNIS Habitat Classification is a widely used reference framework for European habitat types (habitats), but it lacks formal definitions of individual habitats that would enable their unequivocal identification. ...
A physiological approach to study the competition ability of the grassland species Trifolium pratense and Agrostis capillaris
(Elsevier, 2020-09-19)
(EN) The response of plant species to external factors depends partly on the interaction with the environment and with the other species that coexist in the same ecosystem. Several studies have investigated the main traits ...
Climate reverses directionality in the richness–abundance relationship across the World’s main forest biomes
(Nature, 2020-11-06)
More tree species can increase the carbon storage capacity of forests (here referred to as the more species hypothesis) through increased tree productivity and tree abundance resulting from complementarity, but they can ...
Mechanism of action of nitrification inhibitors based on dimethylpyrazole: A matter of chelation
(Elsevier, 2020-08-22)
In agriculture, the applied nitrogen (N) can be lost in the environment in different forms because of microbial transformations. It is of special concern the nitrate (NO3−) leaching and the nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, ...
