I am an ecosystem ecologist with interests in plant ecology, biogeochemistry, and global change. My work contributes to theoretical predictions of ecosystem structure and function, but also applies to ...

Ecological processes and dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems; physical, physiological, behavioral, and population genetic factors regulating population and community structure; case ...

New research offers a better way to assess ecosystem health, moving beyond simple species counts to focus on vital connections within food webs. The Ecosystem Traits Index (ETI) identifies critical ...

Regime shifts between alternative stable ecosystem states are becoming commonplace due to the combined effects of local stressors and global climate change. Alternative states are characterized as ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms that fossilized remains of marine ...

Measuring ecosystem health has long been challenging given the complexities of ecosystem structure and how systems respond to environmental change, said Law, who has been researching the ...

“Since the presence or absence of wolves can dramatically affect ecosystem structure and function, we believe this is a major issue for restoration, conservation and management,” Ripple said ...

By employing an integrated systems approach that combines terrestrial biosphere modeling with AI and machine learning, along with satellite and ground observations, I aim to develop a predictive ...

The proposed technical framework of herbaceous planting for the ecological restoration of urban brownfields—steps as micro-topographic design, adaptive species selection, symbiosis structure ...
