Plant root mechanisms and their effects on carbon and nutrient accumulation in desert ecosystems under changes in land use and climate
Deserts represent key carbon reservoirs, yet as these systems are threatened this has
implications for biodiversity and climate change. This review focuses on how these changes …

Linkages between stratospheric ozone, UV radiation and climate change and their implications for terrestrial ecosystems
Exposure of plants and animals to ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 280–315 nm) is modified by
stratospheric ozone dynamics and climate change. Even though stabilisation and projected …

An ecosystem services perspective on brush management: research priorities for competing land‐use objectives
SR Archer, KI Predick - Journal of Ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The vegetation of semi‐arid and arid landscapes is often comprised of mixtures of
herbaceous and woody vegetation. Since the early 1900s, shifts from herbaceous to woody …

Biotic degradation at night, abiotic degradation at day: positive feedbacks on litter decomposition in drylands
The arid and semi‐arid drylands of the world are increasingly recognized for their role in the
terrestrial net carbon dioxide (CO 2) uptake, which depends largely on plant litter …

Large shrubs increase soil nutrients in a semi-arid savanna
The soil under savanna woody species is often enriched in nutrients in what is termed an
'island of fertility'. We tested for positive feedbacks between encroaching woody plants and …
