Current conceptual models predict that an increase in stress shifts interactions between plants from competitive to facilitative; hence, facilitation is expected to gain in ecological importance with increasing stress. Little is known about how facilitativ ...
Traditionally managed mountain grasslands in the Alps are species-rich ecosystems that developed during centuries of livestock grazing. However, changes in land use including fertilisation of well accessible pastures and gradual abandonment of remote sites ...
Wood-pastures are semi-natural, highly biodiverse systems maintained by traditional extensive agriculture. They are used for grazing and timber. The shifting mosaics of grassland, shrub thickets and woodland patches in these systems are driven by large her ...
Modern pollen assemblages from grazed vegetation in the Pyrenees Mountains (France) were studied with the aim of providing a calibrated model for reconstructing past pastoral activities. The modern analogues were selected to cover the major gradients of gr ...
Background, aim and scope Sulphonated anthraquinones are precursors of many synthetic dyes and pigments, recalcitrant to biodegradation and thus not eliminated by classical wastewater treatments. In the development of a phytotreatment to remove sulphonated ...
Management-oriented models of cattle habitat use often treat grazing pressure as a single variable summarizing all cattle activities. This paper addresses the following questions: How does the spatial pattern of cattle effects vary between cattle activitie ...
The proton and Cd binding capacities of microbially produced exopolysaccharides, EPS, were quantified by the determination of complex stability constants and the concentration of complexing sites using H+ or Cd2+ selective electrodes in dynamic titrations. ...
A plant useful for phytoremediation has first to grow in the presence of the target pollutant without being harmed. The plant must not only be resistant to the pollutant, but must also be able to remove it from the environment and transform it into nontoxi ...
While establishment of vegetation is the most visual indicator of regeneration on cutover peatland, the reinstatement of belowground functions is less well understood. Vegetation succession results in differences in peat quality in terms of C availabili ...
Theoretical advances and short-term experimental studies have furthered our understanding of how ecosystems respond to perturbation. However, there are few wellreplicated experimental studies that allow an assessment of long-term responses. Results from a ...
