Degradation of peatlands through land-use change and drainage is currently responsible for
5-10% of global annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, restoring …

Localized ecological interactions can generate striking large-scale spatial patterns in
ecosystems through spatial self-organization. Possible mechanisms include oscillating …

Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors∼ 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this
carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …

The composition of a peatland plant community has considerable effect on a range of
ecosystem functions. Peatland plant community structure is predicted to change under future …

Peatlands contain one-third of soil carbon (C), mostly buried in deep, saturated anoxic
zones (catotelm). The response of catotelm C to climate forcing is uncertain, because prior …

A significant part of this book is based on a graduate course on pattern formation which I
have been teaching during the past two decades in the Physics Department at Ben-Gurion …

Peatlands contain one-third of the world's soil carbon (C). If destabilized, decomposition of
this vast C bank could accelerate climate warming; however, the likelihood of this outcome …

Peatlands after drainage and extraction are large sources of carbon (C) to the atmosphere.
Restoration, through re‐wetting and revegetation, aims to return the C sink function by re …

Abstract The concept of Planetary Boundaries has sparked debate around tipping points
and the limits of the Earth System for over a decade. Among the most investigated aspects is …

One of the most interesting and vexing problems in ecology is how distinctly different
communities of plants and animals can occur in the same ecosystem. The theory of these …
