Measuring and Incorporating Vulnerability into Conservation Planning
Kerrie A. Wilson,Robert L. Pressey,Adrian C. Newton,Mark A. Burgman,Hugh P. Possingham,Christopher J. Weston +5 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework of the role of vulnerability assessments in conservation planning is developed and a definition of vulnerability is proposed that incorporates three dimensions: exposure, intensity, and impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal dynamics of the carbon isotope composition in a Pinus sylvestris stand: from newly assimilated organic carbon to respired carbon dioxide
Naomi Kodama,Romain L. Barnard,Yann Salmon,Christopher J. Weston,Juan Pedro Ferrio,Jan Holst,Roland A. Werner,Matthias Saurer,Heinz Rennenberg,Nina Buchmann,Arthur Gessler,Arthur Gessler +11 more
TL;DR: This study shows that direct relations between δ13C of recent assimilates and respired CO2 may not be present on a diel time scale, and other factors lead to short-term variations in δ 13C of ecosystem-emitted CO2.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ studies of nitrogen mineralization and uptake in forest soils; some comments on methodology
TL;DR: In this article, in situ studies of N-mineralization are discussed with reference to data collected from 17 eucalypt forests in south-eastern Australia during a 5-year period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term variation in the isotopic composition of organic matter allocated from the leaves to the stem of Pinus sylvestris: effects of photosynthetic and postphotosynthetic carbon isotope fractionation
Elke Brandes,Naomi Kodama,Katherine Whittaker,Christopher J. Weston,Heinz Rennenberg,Claudia Keitel,Mark A. Adams,Arthur Gessler,Arthur Gessler +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the separate effects of photosynthetic and post-photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination on d 13 C of the fast-turnover carbon pool (water soluble organic carbon and CO2 emitted from heterotrophic tissues), including their diel variation, along the pathway of carbon transport from the foliage to the base of the stem.
Journal ArticleDOI
δ13C of organic matter transported from the leaves to the roots in Eucalyptus delegatensis: short-term variations and relation to respired CO2
Arthur Gessler,Claudia Keitel,Naomi Kodama,Christopher J. Weston,Anthony J. Winters,Heather Keith,Kliti Grice,Ray Leuning,Graham D. Farquhar +8 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with transitory starch accumulation and remobilisation governing the diel rhythm of δ13C in phloem-transported OM and fragmentation fractionation occurring during respiration, which should be considered for assessing ecosystem processes or plant reactions towards environmental constraints.
