The response of CO2 release from soils to warming is enhanced at thermokarst sites due to the lower soil substrate quality and higher microorganism abundance than non-thermokarst locations, according to in situ warming experiments at an upland thermokarst on the Tibetan Plateau.

The Asian black-spined toad is a widespread, poisonous, invasive amphibian. Here, the authors use genomic and DNA-barcoding data from this toad to document its complex evolutionary history, two distinct species, and potential historic dispersal assisted by humans.

This paper reviews some key aspects of the purposes, experiences and insights derived during the first thirteen years of the International Off-Campus Ph.D. programme on Cleaner Production, Cleaner Products, Industrial Ecology and Sustainability at Erasmus University. This International Programme is design...
This book is based on many case studies in the broad area of ecological studies and is derived from numerous sources originating from several countries. The book begins with discussions on morphology, stand structure, competition, mass and water balance at the stand level of vegetation as well as...
a decade. However, if fire frequency increases, say from 20 to 50 years apart to 5 years, chaparral ecosystems may become grasslands. Understanding when and how novel disturbance regimes trigger state change is a frontier for mechanistic ecosystem ecology. Another clear frontier, therefore, is to...
These models included microbial communities using a “Black-Box” approach (Schimel and Schaeffer, 2012)—i.e., we do not know who is in there, but their activity relates to soil C stocks. Much less is known however, on whether the inclusion of omics-derived information on microbial ...
Impact of colostrum-derived whey and beetroot powder on the nutritional, rheological and sensory characteristics of set-type yogurt Jan 17th, 2025 Bovine colostrum has become one of the emerging nutraceuticals, and it is being extensively utilized in nutraceuticals and healthcare products in the pre-...
Males and females often have divergent evolutionary interests, generating sexual conflicts. This is particularly true in organisms that exhibit facultative
Cloud forest, vegetation of tropical mountainous regions in which rainfall is often heavy and condensation is persistent because of the cooling of moisture-laden air currents deflected upward by the mountains. A layer of clouds at the canopy level is com
