DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0221-9
Abstract: Livestock grazing affects plant community composition, diversity, and carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in grasslands. Grazing leads to plant communities that have higher relative abundance of grazing-tolerant species, which in turn may alter the chemical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.10.020
Abstract: Abstract Phytolith records have provided a new perspective on the reconstruction and interpretation of palaeovegetation in forested regions. However, the reliability of phytolith records for vegetation reconstruction in northern temperate forest regions has not been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2020.08.007
Abstract: ABSTRACT Contemporary methods of rangeland health (RH) assessment evaluate indicators designed to assess land use impacts on ecosystem function. These methods have not been tested relative to variation in specific grazing practices, including grazing period… read more here.

Multi‐decadal changes in phytoplankton biomass in northern temperate lakes as seen through the prism of landscape properties
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Global Change Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16079
Abstract: Ecologists collectively predict that climate change will enhance phytoplankton biomass in northern lakes. Yet there are unique variations in the structures and regulating functions of lakes to make this prediction challengeable and, perhaps, inaccurate. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjps-2018-0251
Abstract: Abstract: While northern temperate grasslands are important for supporting beef production, it remains unclear how grassland above- and belowground biomass responds to long-term cattle grazing. Here, we use a comprehensive dataset from 73 grasslands distributed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjss-2019-0076
Abstract: Abstract: Studies examining the influence of disturbance and management history on pasture soils across a large sampling area are uncommon. We report on the soil properties found in 102 northern temperate pastures sampled in central… read more here.
