Bryophytes dominate plant regulation of soil microclimate in alpine grasslands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Soil temperature and moisture are important regulators of a broad range of biotic and abiotic processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Vegetation can, in turn, play a role in regulating soil microclimate, which creates potential ... -
Buffering climate change with nature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)It is increasingly evident that climate sustainability depends not only on societal actions and responses, but also on ecosystem functioning and responses. The capacity of global ecosystems to provide services such as ... -
Buffering effects of soil seed banks on plant community composition in response to land use and climate.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim: Climate and land use are key determinants of biodiversity, with past and ongoing changes posing serious threats to global ecosystems. Unlike most other organism groups, plant species can possess dormant life‐history ... -
Building Blocks of Sustainability in Marine Fisheries Management. Stakeholders, objectives, and strategies
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-06-12)Fisheries management, freshwater or marine, is found in virtually every country in the world. Fisheries management is the activity of organizing and controlling the extent of human exploitation of a single fish resource ... -
