Two major biomes are present: sub-Antarctic tundra, which predominates in lowland areas, and sub-Antarctic polar desert, restricted to high elevations. Sixteen species of springtails have been recorded from the island, of which six are introduced and invasive33,38. Here, invasive species mean ...
Soil carbon and nitrogen in five contrasting biomes of South Africa exposed to different land uses. South African Journal of Plant and Soil 21, 94-103.Mills, A.J. & Fey, M.V. ( 2004 ). Soil carbon and nitrogen in five contrasting biomes of South Africa exposed to different land uses ...
Savanna ecosystem comprises tree-grass systems that are characterized by discontinuous trees canopy in a continuous xeromorphic and fire tolerant-shade intolerant grass layer. It is the most extensive ecosystem covering more than 50% and 20% of land surfaces of Africa and globally, respectively. Miom...
Predicted fates of ground-nesting bees in soil heated by wildfire: Thermal tolerances of life stages and a survey of nesting depths Periodic wildfire defines plant community composition and dynamics in many of the world's semi-arid biomes, whose climates and floras also favor wild bee d... JH...

Four historical processes that could result in greater species richness in tropical regions are usually proposed. First, longer time-for-speciation in the tropics8,9. During the early Cenozoic, tropical biomes were found across much higher latitudes, while colder biomes with higher seasonality ...
whereas regional climate determined differences in species composition. We concluded that the response of dung beetles to livestock management cannot be generalized for all biomes. In dry ecosystems, dung beetles are probably pre-adapted to environmental conditions imposed by cattle ranching whereas in ...
