The term “soil quality” was coined in this context, but more recently the term “soil health” has become common (Chapters 14 and 251425). Soil quality is the ability of a soil to function within its surroundings, support plant and animal productivity, and maintain or enhance water and ...

N is the total number of reaches; we multiply by (N−Pj) because sites must be unoccupied to be colonized. Finally, c is the colonization rate, which is a function of the DOM concentration, thereby linking it to the physical equation. The second term describes extinctions and follows ...
Subsequent writers have by and large used the term ‘language ecology’ analogically, as an unanalysed metaphor. As a result, what has been taken from Haugen is typically only the broad principle that a language cannot be understood simply as a structural system independent of its speakers and...
Fig. S10. Comparison between wildfire probability estimated by the model presented in this manuscript and long-term wildfire probability modeled by Pastick et al. (2021). The values from Pastick et al. represent the probability of wildfire occurring in a given location over a long period of ...
The resulting long-term dynamics of bamboo cycles at a community scale will result in a temporal and geographic mosaic of resource availability over very long periods of time, where the initial conditions that any bird experienced may occur only sporadically over centuries and very large regions. ...
(1 −N1/K1)—though the term α1,2N2/K2will exert a decreasing influence over the growth rate of species 1 as α1,2N2/K2diminishes. Consequently, the first equation represents the amount by which the growth rate of species 1 over a specific time period will be reduced by its ...
The degree to which fuels are consumed and then reaccumulate is commonly used to assess the immediate and longer-term effectiveness of PB and will be reflected in modified fire behavior during wildfire reburns, decreasing wildfire extent passively or actively, i.e., through facilitated wildfire sup...
Forest soils are the foundation of the entire forest ecosystem and complex, long-term interactions between trees, soil animals, and the microbial community shape soils in was that are very distinct from agricultural soils. The composition, structure, and processes in forest soils at any given time...
Traditionally, science courses have been discipline centered, with little attention paid to the way in which science is influenced by sociology, economics, and politics. Understanding these influences is essential for developing and implementing long-term solutions to environmental problems. Both David ...
