Summary
1. Woody plant encroachment of grasslands is occurring globally, with profound ecological
consequences. Attempts to restore herbaceous dominance may fail if the woody state is resilient
or if intervention leads to an alternate, undesirable state. Restoration outcomes often
hinge on biotic interactions – particularly on priority effects that inhibit...

This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development
of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a
unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is
given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some
biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...

The restoration of rivers and streams should be based on a
strong conceptual framework. Streams are developing systems. As
such, streams exhibit temporal behaviors that change with changing
stream environments. Underlying the dynamic development of streams is
potential capacity. Streams express this capacity as an array of
habitats over time...
