A comparison of shark and wolf research reveals similar behavioral responses by prey

Creator:: Wirsing, Aaron J. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: Marine and terrestrial ecologists rarely exchange information, yet comparing research from both sides of the land–sea boundary holds great potential for improving our understanding of ecological processes. For example, by comparing the interaction between tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) and dugongs (Dugong dugon) to that between gray wolves (Canis lupus) and...

Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates

Creator:: Stephenson, Nathan L., van Mantgem, Phillip J., Bunn, Andrew G., Bruner, Howard, Harmon, Mark E., O'Connell, Kari B., Urban, Dean L., and Franklin, Jerry F.
Abstract:: At global and regional scales, tree mortality rates are positively correlated with forest net primary productivity (NPP). Yet causes of the correlation are unknown, in spite of potentially profound implications for our understanding of environmental controls of forest structure and dynamics and, more generally, our understanding of broad-scale environmental controls...

Decomposition of heterogeneous organic matter and its long-term stabilization in soils

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos A., Harmon, Mark E., and Perakis, Steven S.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter is a complex mixture of material with heterogeneous biological, physical, and chemical properties. Decomposition models represent this heterogeneity either as a set of discrete pools with different residence times or as a continuum of qualities. It is unclear though, whether these two different approaches yield comparable predictions...

Regional constraints to biological nitrogen fixation in post-fire forest communities

Creator:: Yelenik, Stephanie, Perakis, Steven, and Hibbs, David
Abstract:: Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a key ecological process that can restore nitrogen (N) lost in wildfire and shape the pace and pattern of post-fire forest recovery. To date, there is limited information on how climate and soil fertility interact to influence different pathways of BNF in early forest succession....

Global vegetation monitoring: towards a sustainable technobiosphere

Creator:: Turner, David P.
Abstract:: The concept of sustainable resource management can be applied at multiple scales. Monitoring is an essential component of sustainable natural resource management schemes, and as we begin to confront the need to manage natural resources at the global scale, the importance of monitoring at the global scale is also growing....

The plant phenology monitoring design for The National Ecological Observatory Network

Creator:: Elmendorf, Sarah C., Jones, Katherine D., Cook, Benjamin I., Diez, Jeffrey M., Enquist, Carolyn A. F., Hufft, Rebecca A., Jones, Matthew O., Mazer, Susan J., Miller-Rushing, Abraham J., Moore, David J. P., Schwartz, Mark D., and Weltzin, Jake F.
Abstract:: Phenology is an integrative science that comprises the study of recurring biological activities or events. In an era of rapidly changing climate, the relationship between the timing of those events and environmental cues such as temperature, snowmelt, water availability, or day length are of particular interest. This article provides an...

Uncertainty analysis: an evaluation metric for synthesis science

Creator:: Harmon, Mark E., Fasth, Becky, Halpern, Charles B., and Lutz, James A.
Abstract:: The methods for conducting reductionist ecological science are well known and widely used. In contrast, those used in the synthesis of ecological science (i.e., synthesis science) are still being developed, vary widely, and often lack the rigor of reductionist approaches. This is unfortunate because the synthesis of ecological parts into...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

Management trade-off between aboveground carbon storage and understory plant species richness in temperate forests

Creator:: Burton, Julia I., Ares, Adrian, Olson, Deanna H., and Puettmann, Klaus J.
Abstract:: Because forest ecosystems have the capacity to store large quantities of carbon (C), there is interest in managing forests to mitigate elevated CO[subscript 2] concentrations and associated effects on the global climate. However, some mitigation techniques may contrast with management strategies for other goals, such as maintaining and restoring biodiversity....

Dynamics of a recovering Arctic bird population: the importance of climate, density dependence, and site quality

Creator:: Bruggeman, Jason E., Swem, Ted, Andersen, David E., Kennedy, Patricia L., and Nigro, Debora
Abstract:: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect vital rates and population-level processes, and understanding these factors is paramount to devising successful management plans for wildlife species. For example, birds time migration in response, in part, to local and broadscale climate fluctuations to initiate breeding upon arrival to nesting territories, and prolonged inclement...
