Testing restoration methods is essential for the development of restoration ecology as a science. It is also important to monitor a range of taxa, not...

The functional structure of plant communities can be altered by grazing through two main mechanisms: species turnover (i.e. changes in species occurre...

Liana cutting is a management practice currently applied to encourage seedling regeneration and tree growth in some logged tropical forests. However, ...

Although crop rotation has been used for centuries to enhance agricultural production, there are surprisingly little data justifying the use of one ro...

Carbon cycling in grasslands can be impacted by livestock grazing, partially as an indirect result of herbivory-induced compositional shifts in the pl...

A computer model is described which simulates the spread of barley yellow dwarf luteovirus (BYDV) by aphids in winter cereals in SW England. The model...

Improvements in intercrop yields may be achieved through an understanding of yield advantages due to above-ground or below-ground interactions. Forage...

Several recent studies have considered the relative effects of local vs. landscape factors on diversity of several animal taxa in grasslands. However,...

Flooding governs riparian plant diversity along boreal rivers but the ecological role of extreme floods is only partly understood. We studied the dyna...
