Diversity, Stability, and Ecosystem Function
One pervasive idea in a lot of ecosystem management has been that the more diverse an ecosystem is, the more stable it will be. I should point out right now that even though I’ll be raising some substantial doubts about simple formulations of this belief and how useful it is for conservation purposes, it’s not an unreasonable notion. It was, after all, first formalized This is, of course, an as...
متن کاملEditorial: Linking Ecosystem Function to Microbial Diversity
Understanding the link between microbial diversity and ecosystem processes is a fundamental goal of microbial ecologists, yet we still have a rudimentary knowledge of how changes in diversity affect nutrient cycling and energy transfer in ecosystems. Due to the complexity of the problem, many published studies on this topic have been conducted in artificial or manipulated systems. Studies of ar...

Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Alongside a primary productivity gradient between the Galicia Bank region in the northeast Atlantic and the more oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean basin, we investigated the bathymetric (1200–3000 m) and longit...
متن کاملEcological Drivers of Ecosystem Diversity in Sahelian Rangeland of Niger
Description of vegetation patterns associated with environmental factors such as grazing, climate, landforms, substrate variables etc. are helpful for land management planning. This study used new synecological tools to investigate plants composition and to provide ecological descriptions of plants communities of communal pastures in Sahelian Ecological Zone of Niger. Vegetation and several env...
