A research team led by the Pablo de Olavide University investigated the changes in the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems during millions of years of development. The study ...

The objective of this course is to build a conceptual model of terrestrial ecosystems and to provide students with the state-ofthe-art mechanisms by which terrestrial ecosystems work. Topics include ...

Teachers’ understanding of their research projects and understanding of aspects of ecosystem patterns were portrayed in their conceptual models and their essays. We analyzed the data looking for ...

The findings provide new empirical evidence for the long-term ecosystem engineering effects of woody plants and demonstrate the importance of burning for maintaining the structure and function of ...

Overall, this study demonstrates that chronic N deposition has a detrimental effect on the soil detritus food web, and that the negative effect may feed back to influence litter decay and ecosystem ...

I am an ecosystem ecologist with interests in plant ecology, biogeochemistry, and global change. My work contributes to theoretical predictions of ecosystem structure and function, but also applies to ...

Physical restoration of stream channels is widely used to offset the effects of urbanization on streams, with the goal of improving ecosystem structure and function. However, these efforts are rarely ...

My research program seeks to gain insights on the understanding of feedback dynamics between ecosystem structure and function, and the influence of disturbance on trajectories of ecosystem processes.
