Theories of plant succession are poorly developed in arid lands, hindering our understanding of how long communities may take to recover after disturb...

The magnitude and spatial scales of human effects on stream habitats need to be correctly measured to achieve sound ecosystem management. We investiga...

Conventionally, agent host specificity has been the major concern in the selection of prospective agents for biological control of weeds. However, sub...

Savannas throughout the world are characterized by spatial gradients of resources created by scattered overstorey trees. These gradients are important...

Nutrient limitation (mostly N or P) is a driving force in ecosystem development. Current techniques to determine the nature of nutrient limitation use...

Agricultural management of grassland in lowland Britain has changed fundamentally in the last 50 years, resulting in spatial and structural uniformity...

Human-induced disturbance has substantially influenced the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems globally. However, the extent to which mul...

Green alder shrubs Alnus viridis increasingly overgrow European mountain pastures but hinder natural forest succession. This nitrogen-fixing, autochth...

Pesticide concentrations are correlated with regional declines in stream invertebrate diversity. Experimental studies have identified that pesticides ...

Roads provide suitable conditions for the establishment and growth of exotic species. Most roads are bordered by drainage ditches forming a network of...
