M.; Irvine, M.; Keravec, P.; Mascher, N.; Cellier, P.; Reis, S. // Biogeosciences;2011, Vol. 8 Issue 10, p2869
Terrestrial ecosystems represent a major sink for ozone (O3) and also a critical control of tropospheric O3 budget. However, due to its deleterious effects, plant functioning is affected by the ozone absorbed. It is thus necessary to both predict total ozone deposition to ecosystems and...

The role of backcountry huts as introduction points for the establishment and spread of non-native plants into remote natural areas has received little attention. We surveyed soil and vegetation around 25 backcountry huts in the subalpine landscape of the Australian Alps to examine the role that...

Disturbances have played a significant role in shaping vegetation patterns following European settlement and agricultural development in Australia, particularly over the last 100 years. However, little is known about the temporal dynamics of plant communities in relation to disturbances and...

Invasive plant species have been suggested to change the composition of the soil community in a way that results in a positive feedback for them and a negative feedback for the native plant community. Carpobrotus edulis, a species native to South Africa, is one of the most aggressive exotic...
