Primary succession in Mount Pinatubo
Vegetation structure on the east flank of Mount Pinatubo was investigated to determine the inventory of species at 15 y post-eruption, then to ascertain environmental variables that have influenced the early patterns of primary succession. Unconstrained and constrained ordination methods were used to determine the influence of spatial, elevation, and substrate patterns on vegetation. Vegetation...
متن کاملPrimary Succession on a Hawaiian Dryland Chronosequence
We used measurements from airborne imaging spectroscopy and LiDAR to quantify the biophysical structure and composition of vegetation on a dryland substrate age gradient in Hawaii. Both vertical stature and species composition changed during primary succession, and reveal a progressive increase in vertical stature on younger substrates followed by a collapse on Pleistocene-aged flows. Tall-stat...
متن کاملNitrification Potentials in Primary and Secondary Succession'
Potential nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were measured in soils from a primary successional sequence developed on sand dunes and from a secondary successional sequence on old fields. Potential nitrogen mineralization in soils from the primary sere increased through the first five stages and then leveled off. Nitrogen mineralization was relatively constant in soils from the secondary ...
متن کاملPhage Morphology Recapitulates Phylogeny: The Comparative Genomics of a New Group of Myoviruses
Among dsDNA tailed bacteriophages (Caudovirales), members of the Myoviridae family have the most sophisticated virion design that includes a complex contractile tail structure. The Myoviridae generally have larger genomes than the other phage families. Relatively few "dwarf" myoviruses, those with a genome size of less than 50 kb such as those of the Mu group, have been analyzed in extenso. Her...
متن کاملPrimary succession on Mount St. Helens, with reference to Surtsey
STUDY AREA The 18 May 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens formed a complex pattern of new and denuded land (Dale et al. 2005). This extraordinary landscape beckoned irresistibly to ecologists to study reassembly (Fig. 1). This report draws on studies conducted by myself and colleagues since 1980. Methods are in the references. Vegetation structure was monitored in transects of permanent plots: 1...
