-
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Vegetation structural diversity, also called structural complexity, has great effects on biodiversity and ecological processes, with higher biodiversity often observed in areas with higher structural diversity. As for other ...
-
(Nature Research, 2018-09-26)The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and climate. A better understanding of how environmental ...
-
(Oikos Editorial OfficeWiley, 2018-07-02)The fundamental niche of many species is shifting with climate change, especially in sub-arctic ecosystems with pronounced recent warming. Ongoing warming in sub-arctic regions should lessen environmental constraints on ...
-
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-08-20)Herein we present a selection of papers highlighting the importance of forested wetlands in Atlantic Canada. This special issue is a product of a research program on forested wetlands conducted from 2016 to 2019 and funded ...
-
(Wiley Periodicals LLC, 2023-05-11)Many studies have focused on vegetation across forest edges to study impacts of edges created by human activities on forest structure and composition, or patterns of vegetation at inherent natural edges. Our objective was ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-04)Cross-habitat movements are crucial for persistence of beneficial insects in agricultural landscapes; however, much remains unknown on how landscape structure affects the spillover of beneficial insects between crop and ...
-
(Urmia University, 2021-12)In order to introduce and application of DEI (Distance of Edge Influence) and MEI (Magnitude of Edge Influence) indices to determine the distance of edge effect and intensity of the edge effect on herbaceous species and ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09-04)Forest edges have been well studied in temperate and tropical forests, but less so in open canopy forests. We investigated edge influence on plant species diversity and soil properties in sparse oak forest fragments. Data ...
-
(Ernest J. Dick, 2022)Memoirs of Ernest (Ern) J. Dick, historian and archivist. Ern worked at the CBC Archives, has many connections with the Nova Scotia historical community, and developed the "Moving Images of Atlantic Canada’" course at Saint ...
-
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017-01-17)Two single-copy nuclear genes, the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) and thioredoxin-like gene (HTL), were used to explore the phylogeny and origin of polyploid species in Hordeum. Our ...
-
Community well-being: The impacts of inequality, racism and environment on a Brazilian coastal slum (Elsevier, 2019-03)This article applies the 3-dimensional well-being lens (based on material, relational and subjective dimensions of well-being) to examine the factors that affect well-being in a slum community (Vila dos Pescadores, in the ...
-
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-11-27)Sea-levels have been rising at a faster rate than expected. Because of the maladaptive outcomes of engineering-based hard coastal protection infrastructure, policy makers are looking for alternative adaptation approaches ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2019-07-12)Assembling composite DNA modules from custom DNA parts has become routine due to recent technological breakthroughs such as Golden Gate modular cloning. Using Golden Gate, one can efficiently assemble custom transcription ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2019-03-14)Leaf is the main organ of photosynthesis, which significantly impacts crop yield. A high-density linkage map containing 1894 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and 68 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers was used to ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-11)Grain filling is an important growth process in formation of yield and quality for barley final yield determination. To explore the grain development behavior during grain filling period in barley, a high-density genetic ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2019-03-01)Understanding the formation and evolution of Precambrian greenstone belts is hampered by gaps in the rock record and the uncertainty of the tectonic regime that was operating at the time. Thus identifying a modern analogue ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2019-03-11)The Acadian Orogeny of the Northern Appalachians was caused by accretion of the peri-Gondwanan terranes Avalonia and Meguma to the eastern margin of Laurentia during the Devonian. The lithotectonic relationship between ...
-
(Springer, 2019-06-11)Balanced harvest has been proposed to reduce fishing impact on ecosystems while simultaneously maintaining or even increasing fishery yield. The concept has attracted broad interest, but also received criticisms. In this ...
-
