Climate change and disruptions to global fire activityFuture disruptions to fire activity will threaten ecosystems and human well‐being throughout the world, yet there are few fire projections at global scales and almost none from a broad range of global climate models (GCMs). Here we integrate global fire datasets and environmental covariates to build spatial statistical models of fire probability at a 0.5° resolution and examine environment... ... hiện toàn bộ

A global perspective on wetland salinization: ecological consequences of a growing threat to freshwater wetlandsSalinization, a widespread threat to the structure and ecological functioning of inland and coastal wetlands, is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate and geographic scale. The causes of salinization are diverse and include alterations to freshwater flows, land‐clearance, irrigation, disposal of wastewater effluent, sea level rise, storm surges, and applications of de‐icing salts. C... ... hiện toàn bộ

Grasslands—more important for ecosystem services than you might thinkAbstract Extensively managed grasslands are recognized globally for their high biodiversity and their social and cultural values. However, their capacity to deliver multiple ecosystem services (ES) as parts of agricultural systems is surprisingly understudied compared to other production systems. We undertook a comprehensive overview of ES provided by natural and se... ... hiện toàn bộ

The fire frequency‐severity relationship and the legacy of fire suppression in California forestsFire is one of the most important natural disturbance processes in the western United States and ecosystems differ markedly with respect to their ecological and evolutionary relationships with fire. Reference fire regimes in forested ecosystems can be categorized along a gradient ranging from “fuel‐limited” to “climate‐limited” where the former types are often characterized by frequent, lo... ... hiện toàn bộ

Wildfire‐mediated vegetation change in boreal forests of Alberta, CanadaAbstract Climate‐induced vegetation change may be delayed in the absence of disturbance catalysts. However, increases in wildfire activity may accelerate these transitions in many areas, including the western boreal region of Canada. To better understand factors influencing decadal‐scale changes in upland boreal forest vegetation, we developed a hybrid modeling appr... ... hiện toàn bộ

Fungal community homogenization, shift in dominant trophic guild, and appearance of novel taxa with biotic invasionAbstract Invasion by non‐native plants may fundamentally restructure the soil fungal community. The invasive plant, Alliaria petiolata , produces secondary compounds suppressive to mycorrhizal fungi and may therefore be expected to have generally negative effects on other components of the fungal community. Here, we compared fungal biomass,... ... hiện toàn bộ

Locally adapted arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve vigor and resistance to herbivory of native prairie plant speciesSoil microbial communities contribute to ecosystem function and structure plant communities, but are altered by anthropogenic disturbance. Successful restoration may require microbial community restoration. Inoculation of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may improve ecological restoration, but AMF species that are locally adapted to native plant communities are often unavaila... ... hiện toàn bộ

Plant preferential allocation and fungal reward decline with soil phosphorus: implications for mycorrhizal mutualismAbstract Explaining the persistence of mutualism remains a challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology. The evolutionary stability of arbuscular mycorrhiza, a most widespread and ancient mutualistic association, is particularly intriguing because plants lack apparent mechanisms to prevent cheaters from gaining competitive advantages over cooperators. We developed ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Restoration of fire in managed forests: a model to prioritize landscapes and analyze tradeoffsOngoing forest restoration on public lands in the western US is a concerted effort to counter the growing incidence of uncharacteristic wildfire in fire‐adapted ecosystems. Restoration projects cover 725,000 ha annually, and include thinning and underburning to remove ladder and surface fuel, and seeding of fire‐adapted native grasses and shrubs. The backlog of areas in need of restoration... ... hiện toàn bộ

Ecohydrology with unmanned aerial vehiclesHigh‐resolution characterizations and predictions are a grand challenge for ecohydrology. Recent advances in flight control, robotics and miniaturized sensors using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide an unprecedented opportunity for characterizing, monitoring and modeling ecohydrologic systems at high‐resolution (<1 m) over a range of scales. How can the ecologic and h... ... hiện toàn bộ
