Ecosystem change along a woody invasion chronosequence in a California grassland
Woody species have increased in abundance in many grassland ecosystems during the last century. To investigate the consequences of Baccharis pilularis encroachment into coastal California grasslands, we established a chronosequence of sites naturally invaded by Baccharis zero to 25 years ago. Increasing aboveand below-ground biomass increase along the chronosequence drove increases in ecosystem...
متن کاملEcosystem carbon density and allocation across a chronosequence of longleaf pine forests.
Forests can partially offset greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change mitigation, mainly through increases in live biomass. We quantified carbon (C) density in 20 managed longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests ranging in age from 5 to 118 years located across the southeastern United States and estimated above- and belowground C trajectories. Ecosystem C stock (all pools ...
متن کاملSecondary forest succession in a tropical dry forest: patterns of development across a 50-year chronosequence in lowland Bolivia
Stand structure, species richness and population structures of tree species were characterized in 12 stands representing 50 y of succession following slash-and-burn agriculture in a tropical dry forest in lowland Bolivia. Estimates of tree species richness, canopy cover and basal area reached or surpassed 75% of mature forest levels in the 5-, 8-, and 23-y-old stands respectively. Total stem de...
متن کاملPhosphorus dynamics in an ephemeral wetland ecosystem after re-flooding
To test whether large amounts of phosphorus (P) are accumulated in the floodplain during dry antecedent conditions, and whether they would be released as the predominant source of P in the overlaying floodwater, in accord with the Flood Pulse Concept, we calculated the mass balance of P in an intermittent floodplain wetland after environmental water application. The P mass balance was calculate...
متن کاملEcosystem retrogression leads to increased insect abundance and herbivory across an island chronosequence
1. Ecosystem retrogression, the decline-phase of ecosystem development, occurs during the long-term absence of catastrophic disturbance. It usually involves increased nutrient limitation over time, and leads to reductions in primary productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. 2. As a consequence, retrogression can alter the quality and abundance of host plants as food resources, but litt...
