Applications of stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis to some aspects of coastal environmental change

TL;DR: Twiddy et al. as discussed by the authors used stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of plant cellulose in reconstructions of coastal environments and found significant chemical and physical differences between the three communities analysed.

Modification of Fertility of Soil Materials for Restoration of Acid Grassland Habitat

TL;DR: In this paper, chemical amendments of compost to reduce its pH and P availability were investigated in order to improve suitability for use in reclamation of blocky quarry waste to acidic grassy heathland.

Evaluating hill prairie quality in the Midwestern United States using Auchenorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera) and vascular plants: a case study in implementing grassland conservation planning and management

TL;DR: In this article, a habitat quality index based on Auchenorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera) species composition was used to investigate the index's ability in discriminating hill prairie quality along a gradient of disturbance, based on the Illinois Natural Areas Inventory grading criteria; whether this index differs from other vegetation-based measures of quality; and examine the relationships between Auchens and vegetation integrity and diversity.

Vegetation Analysis on Composite Debris Cones

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between landforms and vegetation cover has been investigated in mountain areas where ecological factors change along altitudinal gradients within a limited geographical area (Ellenberg 1988).

Climate variation, reproductive frequency and acorn yield in English Oaks

TL;DR: The results corroborate not only the hypothesis that temperature differentials between consecutive years, not absolute temperatures, may be the better predictor of mast seeding events, but lend support to the suggestion that reproductive failure and resource accumulation resulting from a climate-linked environmental veto, drives future reproductive synchronization in temperate tree species.
