A conceptual model of land use effects on the structure and function of herbaceous vegetation
S McIntyre, S Lavorel - Agriculture, ecosystems & environment, 2007 - Elsevier
We apply an ecological perspective to the understanding of land use change and its
implications for vegetation dynamics in the agro-pastoral zone of eastern temperate …

A productivity-based explanation for woodland bird declines: poorer soils yield less food
DM Watson - Emu-Austral Ornithology, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
The decline of woodland birds in southern Australia has motivated considerable research,
identifying which species, habitats and regions are most affected, but the mechanisms …

Identifying ecological barriers to restoration in temperate grassy woodlands: soil changes associated with different degradation states
Temperate grassy woodlands were once the dominant vegetation across many agricultural
regions of south-eastern Australia, but most of these are now highly degraded and …

The abundance of microbial functional genes in grassy woodlands is influenced more by soil nutrient enrichment than by recent weed invasion or livestock exclusion
EA Lindsay, MJ Colloff, NL Gibb… - Applied and …, 2010 - Am Soc Microbiol
ABSTRACT A diverse soil microbial community is involved in nitrogen cycling, and these
microbes can be affected by land management practices and weed invasion. We surveyed …

Bringing forward the benefits of coarse woody debris in ecosystem recovery under different levels of grazing and vegetation density
AD Manning, RB Cunningham, DB Lindenmayer - Biological Conservation, 2013 - Elsevier
Restoration projects often do not effectively restore some key biological resources that take
time, often centuries, to accumulate. Such resources are often characteristic of …

Soil phosphorus and tree cover modify the effects of livestock grazing on plant species richness in Australian grassy woodland
The effects of grazing on the richness of understorey plant communities are predicted to vary
along gradients of resources and tree cover. In temperate Australia livestock management …
