The presented publication analyzes Ukrainian and foreign publications regarding the current principles of biogeochemical regionalization. Traditional domestic approaches to landscape zoning are described, namely according Oleksandr Vinogradov Victor Kovalskyi. With traditional approach, regionalization is based on special biosphere taxa various orders: regions (the first order taxa), subregions...

© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org H are increasingly influencing biogeochemical cycles at a global scale (Vitousek et al. 1997; Rojstaczer et al. 2001). From the publication of “man’s role in changing the face of the Earth” (Thomas 1956) to the recent syntheses on climate change (eg Solomon et al. 2007), the role of cities in altered biogeochemical cycles has receiv...

Soil biogeochemical processes and the ecological stability of wetland ecosystems under global warming scenarios have gained increasing attention worldwide. Changes in the capacity of microorganisms to maintain stoichiometric homeostasis, or relatively stable internal concentrations of elements, may serve as an indicator of alterations to soil biogeochemical processes and their associated ecolog...

Protecting a nation's primary production sector and natural estate is heavily dependent on the ability to determine the risk presented by incursions of exotic insect species. Identifying the geographic origin of such biosecurity breaches can be crucial in determining this risk and directing the appropriate operational responses and eradication campaigns, as well as ascertaining incursion pathwa...

Ecological processes regulating soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles are still poorly understood, especially in the world's largest agricultural frontier in Southern Amazonia. We analyzed soil parameters in samples from pristine rainforest and after land use change to pasture and crop fields, and correlated them with abundance of functional and phylogenetic marker genes (amoA, nirK, nirS, no...
