Perceptions and knowledge of ecosystem services in urban river systems, Eastern Cape, South Africa
The ecosystem services concept has been studied in rural contexts but not as much in urban landscapes, particularly for aquatic ecosystems in Africa....
-
Ecosystem Ecology
The next in ecological organization is ecosystem ecology which is being discussed here. Ecosystem comprises many interacting communities living...
-
Network-based restoration strategies maximize ecosystem recovery
Redressing global patterns of biodiversity loss requires quantitative frameworks that can predict ecosystem collapse and inform restoration...
-
Trade-offs in biodiversity and ecosystem services between edges and interiors in European forests
Forest biodiversity and ecosystem services are hitherto predominantly quantified in forest interiors, well away from edges. However, these edges also...
-
Characterization of Reservoir Ecosystem
This chapter intends to describe the ecosystem characterization of the reservoir and understands the effect of various environmental stressors on the...
-
Evaluating the role of bacterial diversity in supporting soil ecosystem functions under anthropogenic stress
Ecosystem functions and services are under threat from anthropogenic global change at a planetary scale. Microorganisms are the dominant drivers of...
-
Diversity of PGPM and Ecosystem Services
Plant growth-promoting microorganism (PGPM), as the name indicates, is microorganism that releases special metabolites during their own growth which...
-
Forest Pathology in Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem services are processes in which the environment supplies benefits to humans and are classified into four major categories, including...

Simulation Modeling Grassland Ecosystem Degradation in Arid Regions
AbstractNew approaches for studying succession dynamics are based on the original concept of system dynamics used in the development of simulation...
-
Key questions for understanding drivers of biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships across spatial scales
ContextBiodiversity loss is predicted to have significant impacts on ecosystem services based on previous ecological work at small spatial and...
-
Inequality in aquatic ecosystem services
Multiple aquatic ecosystem services (ES) sustain humanity, but some of them may not be equitably accessible to all people. We take a...

Norms and Values in Ecosystem Restoration
While restoration ecology, as a scientific sub-discipline of ecology, generates and analyses data and facts qualitatively and quantitatively and...

Influence of management and stand composition on ecosystem multifunctionality of Mediterranean tree forests
Key messageThe multiple functions of Mediterranean forest ecosystems primarily decrease with management operations, and secondarily with tree...
-
Early positive spatial selection effects of beta-diversity on ecosystem functioning
ContextMetacommunity theory predicts that diversity arising at larger spatial scales (spatial β-diversity) may increase ecosystem functioning if...
-
Invertebrate-Mediated Ecosystem Processes are Resilient to Disturbance Across a Land-Use Gradient in Borneo
A fundamental challenge for ecologists is to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on ecosystem processes and functions. Tropical...

Utilization of ecosystem services in future vision decision-making for climate-resilient cities
In the face of uncertain future climate change, city policy decision-makers must choose strategies that promote climate-resilient development....
-
Integrating multiple plant functional traits to predict ecosystem productivity
Quantifying and predicting variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) is important for accurate assessment of the ecosystem carbon budget under...
-
Ecosystem services provided by small streams: an overview
Small streams constitute the majority of the water courses in a catchment and have specific characteristics that distinguish them from larger streams...
-
The supply of multiple ecosystem services requires biodiversity across spatial scales
The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the...

Soil biodiversity supports the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions in urban greenspaces
While the contribution of biodiversity to supporting multiple ecosystem functions is well established in natural ecosystems, the relationship of the...
