Primary succession of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with Alnus sieboldiana on Izu-Oshima Island, Japan
The primary succession of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi has been well described for Pinus and Salix , but the succession for other pioneer hosts is...
-
Primary Succession as Self-Organisation of Biodiversity
Primary succession is a rather strictly determined and partly predictable process. The initial stages of succession involve massive loss of the...
-
Succession and Change of the Ecosystems
This chapter describes ecological succession and the development and regeneration of neotropical ecosystems. It will address the successional stage,...
-
Divergent responses of soil bacterial and fungal community structures and functional groups to secondary succession after rubber plantation abandonment
Background and aimsThere is still limited knowledge regarding the dynamics of soil microbial community structures and functional groups during forest...
-
Trait driven or neutral: understanding the change in functional trait diversity during early plant succession using Price partitions
Habitat filtering, species interactions and neutral colonization as well as extinction dynamics govern the sequence of community assembly and...
-
Nitrogen addition and fungal symbiosis alter early dune plant succession
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment can have complex effects on plant communities. In low-nutrient, primary successional systems such as sand...

Dynamics of the Abundance of Bird Species during Succession of Oak Forests in Southwestern Belarus
Abstract —During the period of secondary succession of oak forests in southwestern Belarus, six stages of vegetation development (from fresh cutting...

Decadal Succession Process in Five Forest Types in Cool-Temperate Odaesan National Park
The succession process in terms of species composition and stand structure was directly tracked for 10 years in permanent plots of five Korean...

Increasing calcium scarcity along Afrotropical forest succession
Secondary forests constitute an increasingly important component of tropical forests worldwide. Although cycling of essential nutrients affects...
-
Microbiota succession throughout life from the cradle to the grave
Associations between age and the human microbiota are robust and reproducible. The microbial composition at several body sites can predict human...
-
The importance of species addition ‘versus’ replacement varies over succession in plant communities after glacier retreat
The mechanisms underlying plant succession remain highly debated. Due to the local scope of most studies, we lack a global quantification of the...

Changes in composition and function of soil microbial communities during secondary succession in oldfields on the Tibetan Plateau
AimSoil microbes can significantly influence restoration outcomes via interaction with plant community assembly processes, yet knowledge about...

Dune Blowouts as Microbial Hotspots and the Changes of Overall Microbial Activity and Photosynthetic Biomass Along with Succession of Biological Soil Crusts
Biological soil crust (BSC) constitutes a consortium of cyanobacteria, algae, lichen, mosses, and heterotrophic microorganisms, forming a miniature...

Effects of surface runoff from agricultural soils on the succession of microconsumer organisms in a lotic mesocosm
In the present work, we studied the succession of organisms and nutrient dynamics in the laboratory through the use of an artificial lotic system,...

Post-agricultural succession affects the accumulation and enzymatic transformation of organic phosphorus in a karst area, southwest China
BackgroundSoil phosphorus (P) availability is crucial for the restoration of degraded ecosystems, but how soil organic P transforms during...

Urban forests of Moscow: typological diversity, succession status, and fragmentation assessment
ContextUrban forests provide ecosystem services such as temperature regulation, air purification, carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation....

The REBURN model: simulating system-level forest succession and wildfire dynamics
BackgroundHistorically, reburn dynamics from cultural and lightning ignitions were central to the ecology of fire in the western United States (wUS),...

Soil and Vegetation Heterogeneity in Postagrogenic Restorative Succession in the Middle Taiga Subzone
AbstractThe specific features of the soil–vegetation heterogeneity at the early stages of restorative succession have been studied. These features...

Insects and Forest Succession
There is a long-standing, even ancient, belief in Western thought that forests, particularly unmanaged forests relatively free from obvious human...

Productivity of the Bakchar Bog Plant Communities in the Initial Stages of Pyrogenic Succession (Southern Taiga of Western Siberia)
AbstractThe results of a study on the productivity of plant communities after a crown fire in a drained oligotrophic bog in the southern taiga of...
