The potential contribution of vertebrate predators to biological control in orchards has been largely overlooked to date. A few studies have shown tha...

Root-feeding insect herbivores may suppress their host populations by altering the competitive balances within the plant community of the host-plant. ...

There is general concern that local loss of plant diversity will adversely impact net primary productivity and other ecosystem properties. However, me...

Disturbance is widely believed to facilitate invasions by exotic plants, but is also important for the persistence of many native species. The results...

Insect pollination and biological pest control simultaneously influence crop yield, but are often investigated individually. This can lead to under- o...

Seed-based restoration is one of the most difficult challenges for dryland restoration. Identifying environmental conditions that drive variation in s...

The consequences of global warming and changes in resource availability were investigated in subalpine grasslands in the Pyrenees. These communities a...

Experimental manipulations have shown positive impacts of increased species richness on ecosystem productivity, but there remain some questions about ...

The results of a restoration experiment carried out on a permanent grassland on peaty, heavy clay in the Netherlands are described. The experiment sta...

In urbanised areas, marine infrastructure alters natural light regimes, creating habitats that are permanently shaded, affecting the community structu...
