A physiologically based mechanistic model of the dynamic interaction between plants and animals is used to consider the role of differences in growth ...

1. Intercropping, the practice of growing two or more crops in close association, is attracting increasing interest in developed countries, primarily ...

It is well known that climate change alters abiotic factors (temperature and water availability) that directly affect ecosystem properties. However, l...

Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects species' physiology and behaviour, and the interactions between species. Despite the importance of plants as ...

Understanding multiple ecological determinants of plant diversity and composition underpins good vegetation management. In mesic ecosystems, ecologica...

Intensive agriculture is dominated by monocultures of high-yielding plants that receive large applications of nitrogen (N) fertilizers to boost plant ...

Plant removal is used widely to restore systems encroached by woody plants and to improve ecosystem health and human well-being. However, the effects ...

Grazing by ungulate herbivores can greatly alter nitrogen ([N]) and phosphorus ([P]) concentrations in plants and soils. It is not clear, however, how...

Agricultural intensification, at field and landscape scales, has caused a decrease in weed richness and changes in species composition. In order to pr...

Research in agricultural ecosystems is uncovering how the management of crop fields leads to the delivery of transgenic crop residues to adjacent wate...
