Effect of drought and nutrient availability on invaded plant communities in a semi‐arid ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9296
Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem functions are heavily dependent on the functional composition of the plant community, i.e., the functional traits of plants forming the community. This, on the one hand, depends on plant occurrence, but on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-024-01939-9
Abstract: Rangeland-based livestock production constitutes a primary source of livelihood for many inhabitants of dryland regions. Their subsistence relies heavily on maintaining the productivity, biodiversity and services of these ecosystems. Harsh environmental conditions (e.g., drought) combined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-018-1233-y
Abstract: Vegetation patterns are a characteristic feature of semi-arid regions. On hillsides these patterns occur as stripes running parallel to the contours. The Klausmeier model, a coupled reaction–advection–diffusion system, is a deliberately simple model describing the… read more here.
