Abstract: Are trees the answer' The question, of course, is how to limit carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The current (November 2022) concentration, 419 ppm, keeps rising and translates into an increasing average temperature for our sweltering Earth. Release of carbon dioxide into the air must be slowed and reversed from current levels for us to avoid the worst scenarios of global warming. Worldwide political will seems wanting, even as the understanding of the problem grows. In addition to rising global heat, we get the correlated problems of more wildfires, sea level rise, and species migration away from historic ranges, both on land and in the sea. Each of these parameters challenges our ability to develop successful ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-19T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Sensitive Arctic environments are experiencing increasing disturbance from resource exploitation (Forbes et al. 2001). The most frequent disturbances resulting from mining activity include gravel quarries, raised pads, and roads, which are known to result in severe disturbances including removal of vegetative and organic layers, increased soil pH, and altered hydrology (Naeth and Wilkinson 2014, Miller et al. 2021). Natural regeneration of vegetative communities within disturbed low-Arctic environments can be a slow process. Decades or even hundreds of years are required to fully establish native vegetative communities (Forbes and Jefferies 1999, Hodkinson et al. 2003), necessitating active restoration to recreate ...

Abstract: Regular vegetation monitoring is critical for evaluating restoration success and informing management, but many restoration projects are not sampled often enough to fully evaluate outcomes—even restorations that are monitored annually are often sampled only once per year.Because restorations change across the growing season, results of sampling are likely to change depending on when during the growing season a restoration is sampled.Ideally, restorations should be sampled multiple times in a year to most accurately assess restoration quality and the effectiveness of establishment and management techniques.If restorations are only sampled at one point in the year, the sampling time should be selected carefully based ...

Abstract: Biological invasion is a transformational process that may negatively influence biodiversity, alter nutrient cycling, shift patterns of succession, and drive changes in the composition of native plant communities (Ruesink et al. 1995, Webster et al. 2006, Hejda et al. 2009, Flory and Clay 2010, Vilá et al. 2011). The threat of invasive species may be accelerating due to climate change, and recent evidence suggests that invasive species continue to move into new habitats (Hejda et al. 2009, Chapman et al. 2012, NOAA 2021). A variety of factors contribute to the success of invasive species including predator escape, rapid evolution of competitive ability, prolonged phenology, and novel chemical constituents that may ...

Abstract: Programs that aim to restore native grassland communities using prescribed fire should consider the life history traits of target plants to determine when the best time is for prescribed burning to be implemented.Species that share life history traits but have different biogeographic origins respond similarly to the timing of disturbance.Prescribed burns ignited within the warm season may be an effective management tool to promote C3 graminoids, forbs and vines, suppress C4 grass species, and increase overall plant species diversity in fire-dependent ecosystems like grasslands.Managers should combine fire with other management actions (e.g., mechanical removal, chemical control, and alteration of the physical ...

Abstract: Redirecting the ecological trajectory to increase diversity is necessary for the restoration of degraded wetlands subject to anthropic disturbances.The strategic implementation of different approaches to ecological restoration represents an opportunity for the rehabilitation of complex ecosystems in periurban contexts where human presence is a driver of environmental change.In our study area, a biocultural approach is possible because cattail has been used for centuries, but other approaches are needed for historically recent plant invaders.Since 1900, according to Davidson (2014), the world has lost between 64% and 71% of its wetlands. In that same period, Mexico suffered a similar loss or deterioration of over ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-19T00:00:00-05:00
