Comparison of physiognomic types from the Southern Hemisphere vegetation with those from the Northern Hemisphere reveals that this statement is of limited value. Winter deciduousness is a common feature in woody vegetation in the temperate biomes of the Northern Hemisphere, but it is rare in the ...
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes Plant functional traits control a variety of terrestrial ecosystem processes, including soil carbon storage which is a key component of the global carbon c... De,Deyn,GB,... - 《Ecology Letters》 被引量: 1537发表: 2008...
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 ...
Obligate avian scavengers (vultures and condors) are a functional group of birds that have become extraordinarily rare in recent decades around the world, with many populations virtually extinct or in serious decline17,18, mainly because of unnatural mortality (poisoning, electrocution and collision wit...
Extended world height Six biomes with unique wood and stone types Rubies and sapphires, gems with magical properties Charms and trinkets that enhance your abilities Plenty of new blocks to build with New mobs: Foxes (the kind you voted for) and Phantoms (not the kind you voted for) ...
Theoretically, the distribution patterns and influencing factors of these distinctive parasitic types which adopted various parasitic strategies may well be different, but little is known about this interesting issue. Parasitic plants are widely distributed in major biomes across the Earth. They can be ...
Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), we investigated vegetation response to different time-scales drought across different vegetation types and homogeneous clusters in China, by annual maximum Pearson correlation (Rmax) and the corresponding time-scales of ...
Plant traits, Litter Quality and Decomposition in a Mediterranean Old-Field Succession[J]. Plant Soil, 2007, 296(1/2): 19-34. [6] CORNWELL W K, CORNELISSEN J H C, AMATANGEL O K, et al. Plant Species Traits are the Predominant Control on Litter Decomposition Rates within Biomes World...
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 expanded only after the Eocene-Oligocene boundary10. Many groups from the early Cenozoic probably originated in these ...
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 wet ecosystems the impact of cattle ranching is more ...
