How bacteria recycle forest litter into mineralsThe decomposition of forest litter and its mineralization. See all videos for this article Forests are among the most complex ecosystems in the world, and they exhibit extensive vertical stratification. Conifer forests have the simplest structure: a tree...
Spatial heterogeneity in post-fire vegetation productivity recovery and its drivers A global analysis of post-fire vegetation productivity recovery reveals that the recovery time shows spatial variations across vegetation types and regions. The dominant factors that influence the recovery time in the majori...
its dark colour and sufficient acidity to affect the plant andanimallife it can support. The areas flooded in the annual cycle are forested and are known by the Portuguese wordvárzea. Trees in this zone survive flooding for several weeks annually and provide the basis of afood webthat ...
Advances in multiplex histology allow surveying millions of cells, dozens of cell types, and up to thousands of phenotypes within the spatial context of tissue sections. This leads to a combinatorial challenge in (a) summarizing the cellular and phenotypic architecture of tissues and (b) identifying...

As part of the effort to define soil health, soil microbiologists have developed procedures to gain insight into community composition and its dynamics at both the taxonomic and functional levels. One important goal is to identify those practices that improve and sustain soil health in agriculture....
including community data. The R program is a powerful and flexible analytical system able to conduct a huge variety of analytical methods, which means that the user only has to learn one program to address many research questions. Its other advantage is that it is open source and therefore com...
An ecosystem can be categorized into its abioticconstituents, includingminerals,climate,soil,water,sunlight, and all other nonliving elements, and its biotic constituents, consisting of all its living members. Linking these constituents together are two major forces: the flow ofenergythrough the ecosyste...
