During the past century, semi-natural grasslands, once widespread throughout Europe, have largely been converted into intensively managed agricultural...

Many rangelands evolved under an interactive disturbance regime in which grazers respond to the spatial pattern of fire and create a patchy, heterogen...

Floodplain wetlands provide an important subsidy for riverine food webs as sites of high algal production. However, this subsidy depends on the degree...

Habitat degradation and fragmentation are growing concerns in ecology, yet distinguishing between the effects of these processes can be a challenging ...

Ungulates have reached such high densities in some natural ecosystems that culling is frequently used to reduce their impacts on vegetation. However, ...

Human-modified landscapes have created opportunities for numerous taxa. Agricultural expansion has proven advantageous for several Arctic-breeding goo...

The idea that variable fire regimes (pyrodiversity) may increase habitat heterogeneity and, consequently, increase biodiversity at the landscape level...

Ecosystem restoration typically focuses on re-establishing native plant communities with the hope of restoring ecological processes over the long term...

Roadsides are targeted for restoration of pollinator-friendly plants. Yet, roads are sources of macronutrient, micronutrient and heavy metal pollution...

Most studies in applied ecology use measures of α-diversity measures, i.e. the mean diversity on a site, to compare biodiversity effects of different ...
