Diversity is a concept central to ecology, and its measurement is essential for any study of
ecosystem health. But summarizing this complex and multidimensional concept in a single …

Here, we characterize the temporal and spatial dynamics of forest community structure and
species diversity in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in China. We found that …

The objectives of our research were:(1) to assess the influence of the frequency of mowing
different types of seminatural meadows characteristic of Central Europe on their floristic …

This study evaluates the error that is introduced in quantifying observed aerosol mixing
states due to a limited particle sample size. We used the particle-resolved model PartMC …

Measurements of biodiversity can be used to assess the scale of anthropogenic impact and
predict species loss. A great number of diversity measures exist involving species richness …

The analysis of benthic assemblages is a valuable tool to describe the ecological status of
transitional water ecosystems, but species are extremely sensitive and respond to both …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) promote the growth of their host plants by enhancing nutrient
uptake and conferring resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Consequently, stimulation of …

The aim of the research was to evaluate the role of the microbial composition of synthetic
microbiomes for soil carbon evolution. The microbiomes inoculated into the soil (M1-M9) …

Mathematical modelling plays a special role in ecology. Although traditional ecology is a
largely empirical science, replicated experiments are not often possible because of the high …

The influence of different cropping systems on the soil weed seed bank after the first crop
rotation within a five-field crop rotation (barley undersown with red clover, red clover, winter …
