The vegetation of Campbell Island and its offshore islets was sampled quantitatively at 140 sites. Data from the 134 sites with more than one vascular plant species were subjected to multivariate analysis. Out of a total of 140 indigenous and widespread adventive species known from the island group, 124 vascular species were recorded; 85 non-vascular cryptogams or species aggregates play a majo...

Changes in land use and cover (LULC) are the leading contributors to decline loss of ecosystem services world. The present study covered Central Rift Valley lakes basin Ethiopia, focusing on valley floor East West escarpments, analyze changes LULC estimate associated losses service values (ESVs). Covering both upstream downstream areas basin, addressed major gaps existing studies by connecting ...

South America sustains an important part of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity and its population is highly urbanized. Global syntheses have revealed a paucity urban ecological research in region; however, local might be overlooked due to language barriers. As contribution disseminating knowledge, we conducted synthesis Spanish-language literature on bird species richness Southern Cone - area...

In drylands, most studies of extreme precipitation events examine effects individual years or short-term events, yet multiyear periods (>3 y) are expected to have larger impacts on ecosystem dynamics. Our goal was take advantage a sequence multiple long-term (4-y) (dry, wet, average) that occurred naturally within 26-y time frame responses plant species richness rainfall in grasslands and sh...

Shrublands occupy about 13% of the global land surface, contain one-third biodiversity, store half terrestrial carbon, and provide many ecosystem services to a large amount world's human population livestock. Because phenology is sensitive indicator response shrubland ecosystems climate change, alteration following species invasions, dynamics function, carbon budgets, it critical monitor assess...
