Small heterogeneity has large effects on synchronization of ecological oscillators.
Heterogeneity in habitat plays a crucial role in the dynamics of spatially extended populations and is often ignored by both empiricists and theoreticians. A common assumption made is that spatially homogeneous systems and those with slight heterogeneity will behave similarly and, therefore, the results and data from studies of the former can be applied to the latter. Here, we test this assumpt...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Foam Flooding in Low Permeability Sandstones: Effects of Rock Permeability and Microscopic Heterogeneity
Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...
متن کاملPlant species effects on nutrient cycling: revisiting litter feedbacks.
In a review published over two decades ago I asserted that, along soil fertility gradients, plant traits change in ways that reinforce patterns of soil fertility and net primary productivity (NPP). I reevaluate this assertion in light of recent research, focusing on feedbacks to NPP operating through litter decomposition. I conclude that mechanisms emerging since my previous review might weaken...

متن کاملNutrient Cycling, Modelling and Management from Field to Catchment Scale
The changes in land use caused by antropogenic interventions, has increased the global pool of nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphorus) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This report analyzes the behavior of the main nutrient biogeochemical cycles and the consequences of its alterations. It is remarkable the enhancement of some inputs and outputs to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the inc...
