Rivers in Northern Nigeria flowing north-eastwards into Lake Chad traverse, as they pass through the Sudan Savannah zone, wide seasonal flood-plains t...

Mangroves often support rich fish and crustacean communities, although faunal abundance and diversity show strong spatiotemporal variability. Consiste...

Rice feeds about half of the world's population. The intensification of rice farming has threatened biodiversity and ecosystem services, such as pest ...

Frequent fires are often proposed as a way of preventing woody encroachment in savannas, yet few studies have examined whether high-intensity fires ca...

Piecemeal changes in land use might have cumulative effects on regional biodiversity. However, this hypothesis is difficult to test experimentally at ...

The hypothesis that subarctic hygrophilous plant species show poorly developed mechanisms for water conservation was tested by measuring the stomatal ...

Forest management involving live tree retention and natural regeneration after felling is currently increasing in boreal areas. This calls for further...

Although selection cutting is probably less harmful to forest ecosystems than clear cutting, its effects on biodiversity remain largely unexplored. We...

Climate-associated changes in forest composition have been widely reported, particularly where changes in abiotic conditions have resulted in high mor...

Spatial variation in species composition (β-diversity) is an important component of farmland biodiversity, which together with local richness (α-diver...
