Nitrogen (N) is a key limiting resource in many terrestrial ecosystems and its cycling affects almost all aspects of ecosystem function (Vitousek et al.1997). The N cycle is complex, with multiple transformations, feedbacks, and interactions with other important biogeochemical elements. N supplies t...
Additionally, Maxent accuracy was the lowest across all combinations of bioclimatic and non-bioclimatic variables (AUC = 0.75 to 0.78). With current, 2050, and 2070 bioclimatic projections, our modelling revealed the significance of water avail- ability parameters (BC-12 to BC-19, i.e. ...

When we consider ecosystem multi-function, the provision of multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously, we may find that seemingly redundant species may in fact play unique roles in ecosystems.2. Over the last few decades, the significance of biological soil crusts (BSCs) as ecological boundaries ...
In many cases the maximum and minimum values of the range are of much greater significance than the average value. In this connection several species of bryophytes are valuable indicators.In the seres within the area under investigation, and more manifestly so in seres in other parts of Europe ...
