Disturbance Ecology
This edited work presents a multi-faceted view on the causes and consequences of disturbance in ecosystems. Vegetation can be affected by a variety...
-
Natural Disturbance
Natural disturbances remove biomass from wetlands. In extreme cases, they also remove the substrate. Natural disturbances tend to increase biological...

Community type and disturbance type interact to determine disturbance response: implications for extending the environmental filter metaphor
Ecological disturbances act as environmental filters by removing species with particular characteristics, resulting in community types associated...

Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is an expansive topic complicated by the reality that it is a scientific discipline that also directly engages the general...

Disturbance tolerance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: characterization of life-history strategies along a disturbance gradient in a coastal dune ecosystem
PurposeArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that regenerate rapidly after disturbance play a significant role in vegetation resilience. We employed the fungi...

Disturbance Resilience
Resilience is the capacity of ecosystems to recover from disturbance or to absorb disturbance without changing their structures and processes. While...

N-fertilization and disturbance exert long-lasting complex legacies on subarctic ecosystems
Subarctic ecosystems are subjected to increasing nitrogen (N) enrichment and disturbances that induce particularly strong effects on plant...

Landscape configuration and storm characteristics drive spatial patterns of wind disturbance in boreal forest landscapes
ContextWind is an important disturbance in circumboreal forests, and its frequency and severity may change with climate change, highlighting the need...

Disturbance history, neighborhood crowding and soil conditions jointly shape tree growth in temperate forests
Understanding how different mechanisms act and interact in sha** communities and ecosystems is essential to better predict their future with global...

Disturbance and Biodiversity
Biodiversity describes the variety of living creatures and habitats within ecosystems. It is the basis for the functioning of ecosystems but is...

Demographic recovery of corals at a wave-exposed reef following catastrophic disturbance
Rapid recovery of coral cover following acute disturbance has been documented on many reefs. Yet measuring coverage alone can mask shifts in...
-
Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is a field of ecology, which includes vegetation ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemistry of nutrient cycles. Here,...

Disturbance Ecology: A Guideline
The guideline contextualizes the field of disturbance ecology over time and space. It addresses fundamental elements of disturbance ecology, such as...

Unleashed: walking dogs off the lead greatly increases habitat disturbance in UK lowland heathlands
Human population growth is associated with increased disturbance to wildlife. This effect is particularly acute in urban and periurban areas, where...

Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....

Sustained Three-Year Declines in Forest Soil Respiration are Proportional to Disturbance Severity
Soil respiration ( R s ) is the largest outward flux of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems, accounting for more than half of total temperate forest...

Grassland Plant Community Composition and Dynamics: Disturbance as Determinants of Grassland Diversity
Campos Sulinos grasslands have a long evolutionary history intertwined with fire and grazing: they are disturbance-dependent ecosystems. Disturbance,...

Trait-mediated filtering predicts phyllostomid bat responses to habitat disturbance in the Orinoco Llanos
Which functional traits allow a bat species to survive habitat disturbance? Empirical evidence regarding this question remains limited for many...

The recovery of octocoral populations following periodic disturbance masks their vulnerability to persistent global change
As the major form of coral reef regime shift, stony coral to macroalgal transitions have received considerable attention. In the Caribbean, however,...

Heterospecific eavesdrop** on disturbance cues of a treefrog
Alarm signals and cues are crucial to animal survival and vary greatly across species. Eavesdrop** on heterospecific alarm signals and cues can...
