The review analyzes in detail the impacts of raw materials, preparation processes, and application scenarios on the unintended environmental risks of biochar. Furthermore, it provides a thorough overview of the
Plants play a fundamental role in the ecology of flower visiting insects, providing nectar and pollen for food as well as habitat for reproduction and refuge. Most insects have evolved to utilize multiple plant species, as this provides a competitive advantage but for many insects specific floral ...
Evolutionary and ecological processes have a major influence on the composition and distribution of biological assemblages, so many plants, animals, fungi and microbes are found only in certain environments, although tight correlations can make it difficult to separate the influence of particular processe...
Identifying early life-stage transitions limiting seagrass recruitment could improve our ability to target demographic processes most responsive to management. Here we determine the magnitude of life-stage transitions along gradients in physical disturba
Anthropogenic activities and climate change are causing biodiversity loss at an unprecedented rate1. Wilderness areas (WAs), the remaining large intact landscapes with minimal human disturbances, are considered the “last refuges” for a large number of rare and endangered wild animals and plants2. ...
These invasive species have the potential to affect both wild and managed landscapes and deteriorate healthy ecosystems that are is vital to native plants, animals, and human life as well. These exotic and invasive species modulate the endemic structure and processes of introduced communities. In ...
Changes in fire frequency, extent, and intensity mean that understanding the effects of fire on plants and animals is a primary concern for ecologists and land managers. Given the potentially conflicting fire responses of species both within and across taxonomic groups, prescribing fire regimes based...
ecosystems in the biophysical domain and human needs in the social domain, although some CES may have little dependence on ecosystems (Daniel et al., 2012). As ecosystems cannot deliver benefits to people by themselves without incorporating social inputs like human capital and built capital, CES ...
USA National Phenology Network Research Coordination Network Meeting; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 22â23 May 2012 Phenology is the study of reoccurring life cycle events in plants and animals, such as bird migrations, emergence from hibernation, flowering, and carbon cycling. Changes in the timing...
and its impact on the ecosystems as per different management actions (De Jager et al.2017a). While several attempts have been made to represent browsing impacts in forest ecosystems using different models (Bennett et al.2006; Weisberg et al.2006; Rammig2007; Vospernik and Reimoser2008; ...
