Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, USA, serves as a natural laboratory for tracking how the dynamic interplay of physical, chemical and biological factors come together to form hot-spring limeston
Understanding how animal populations respond to environmental factors is critical because large-scale environmental processes (e.g., habitat fragmentation, climate change) are impacting ecosystems at unprecedented rates. On an overgrazed floodplain in north-western Australia, a native rodent (Pale Field R...
This development is important especially in the context of simulating biotic disturbances, as they can spread from stand to stand, occur across relatively large extents, and are driven by factors across multiple spatial scales (Cushman and Meentemeyer, 2008; Seidl et al., 2016). Nonetheless, ...
partial Mantel tests to examine the correlations between EA and the environmental factors. For each site, similar spatial distribution trends were observed for the three kinds of enzymes at the plot scale. Our results showed that the tree distribution-induced shifts in litter and root biomass, soi...
was recovered after 50 yr in Yellowstone National Park [13]. The recovery of SOC is Tree growth declines with time as nutrient availability decreases but the system may continue to accumulate due to slow decomposition rates [21]. In two completely different systems (Yellowstone National Park and...
Mucorales do not appear to survive in this environment. Species of Mucorales have been cultured from geothermal soils in Yellowstone National Park, including species of Lichtheimia and Cunninghamella, especially in close proximity to Dichanthelium langinosum, a species of rosette grass native to North...
