DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2883
Abstract: Ecological patterns are inherently scale-dependent and driven by the interplay of abiotic gradients and biotic processes. Despite the fundamental importance of such gradients, there are many gaps in our understanding of how abiotic stress gradients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-019-3574-5
Abstract: Ecologists use a functional trait-based approach to seek a general understanding of organismâenvironment interactions, but, among primary producers, the empirical basis rests on vascular plants. We hypothesised that with increasing intertidal elevation, traits of large… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2019.01.005
Abstract: Abstract In shallow aquatic ecosystems, wave-induced water motions affect the whole water column down to the sediment. To estimate the influence of these motions on short-term sedimentation rates (SR) in a shallow wind-exposed lagoon, we… read more here.
