Ungulates influence ecosystem services in important ways, including by altering the amount of standing plant biomass and species composition. Browsing...

Fire and herbivory are competitive processes in grassy ecosystems as they both consume above-ground biomass. Despite this interaction between fire and...

Growth-stage optimization (GSO) offers a new approach to biodiversity conservation in fire-prone regions by estimating the optimal distribution of veg...

Forest ecosystem functioning generally benefits from higher tree species richness, but variation within richness levels is typically large. This is mo...

Forest area is increasing in temperate biomes through active and passive restoration of old fields. Despite the large extension of restored forests, t...

It has recently been reported that changing precipitation patterns increase tree mortality and reduce biomass accumulation in northern temperate and b...

Apple is considered the most important fruit crop in temperate areas and profitable production depends on multiple ecosystem services, including the r...

A diverse array of wild bee species may provide more effective pollination than the widely employed European honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). High speci...

Grazing by mammalian herbivores can alter vegetation structure and composition. It can therefore affect critical habitat features used by native wildl...

Climate change alters both water and CO₂ availability for plants, but it is largely unknown how they interact with light to affect tree seedling estab...
