Linking vegetation change, carbon sequestration and biodiversity: insights from island ecosystems in a long-term natural experiment
David A. Wardle,Micael Jonsson,Sheel Bansal,Richard D. Bardgett,Michael J. Gundale,Daniel B. Metcalfe +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize multiple lines of evidence from a long-term natural experiment to illustrate how ecosystem retrogression (the decline in ecosystem process rates due to longterm absence of major disturbance) drives vegetation change, and thus above-ground and below-ground carbon sequestration, and communities of consumer biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Typha (Cattail) Invasion in North American Wetlands: Biology, Regional Problems, Impacts, Ecosystem Services, and Management
Sheel Bansal,Shane C. Lishawa,S. Newman,Brian A. Tangen,Douglas A. Wilcox,Dennis A. Albert,Michael J. Anteau,Michael J. Chimney,Ryann L. Cressey,Edward S. DeKeyser,Kenneth J. Elgersma,Sarah A.

Richards,Curtis J. Richardson,Le Roy Rodgers,Amy J. Schrank,Dan Svedarsky,Steven E. Travis,Nancy C. Tuchman,Lisamarie Windham-Myers +29 more
TL;DR: A review of the literature on invasive Typha in North America can be found in this article, where the literature cited comes from research on Typha and other invasive species from around the world and many of the underlying concepts in this review are relevant to invasive species in other wetland ecosystems worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interactive effects of temperature and light on biological nitrogen fixation in boreal forests
TL;DR: The results suggest that climate warming may increase N-fixation in boreal forests, but that increased shading by the forest canopy or the occurrence of extreme temperature events could limit increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate-related genetic variation in drought-resistance of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
TL;DR: Multiple regression analysis indicated that Douglas-fir populations from regions with relatively cool winters and arid summers may be most adapted to cope with drought conditions that are expected in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon balance of conifer seedlings at timberline: relative changes in uptake, storage, and utilization
Sheel Bansal,Matthew J. Germino +1 more
TL;DR: Elevation effects on carbon balance (whole-plant uptake, storage, and efflux of carbon) of tree seedlings during their critical establishment phase at timberline were determined, indicating that variation in photosynthesis was related to growth of seedlings at timber line.
