DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8552
Abstract: Abstract Although the diversity–disturbance relationship has been extensively studied, the differences in responses of taxonomic vs. functional diversity to natural disturbances (i.e., fire) call for an improved understanding of this relationship. Here, we investigated how… read more here.

Abstract: Although disturbance theory has been recognized as a useful framework in examining the stability of ant-plant mutualisms, very few studies have examined the effects of fire disturbance on these mutualisms. In myrmecophyte-dominated savannas, fire and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d12040141
Abstract: The biodiversity loss resulting from rising levels of human impacts on ecosystems has been extensively discussed over the last years. The expansion of urban areas promotes drastic ecological changes, especially through fragmentation of natural areas.… read more here.

DOI: 10.5846/stxb201512142483
Abstract: Heat from fire disturbance induces chemical oxidation of soil organic matter that alters the conversion of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), which seriously influences soil structure and functions. However, the extent of oxidation depends on… read more here.
