Mark E. Harmon,Jerry F. Franklin,F. J. Swanson,P. Sollins,Stanley V. Gregory,John D. Lattin,N.H. Anderson,S.P. Cline,N.G. Aumen,James R. Sedell,G.W. Lienkaemper,Kermit Cromack,Kenneth W. Cummins +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the rates at which coarse wood debris is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many functions that CWD serves.
Book
Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ecosystem Concept is used to describe the Earth's Climate System and Geology and Soils, and the ecosystem concept is used for managing and sustaining ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model
Stephen Sitch,Benjamin Smith,Iain Colin Prentice,Almut Arneth,Alberte Bondeau,Wolfgang Cramer,Jed O. Kaplan,Samuel Levis,Samuel Levis,Wolfgang Lucht,Martin T. Sykes,Kirsten Thonicke,Sergey Venevsky +12 more
TL;DR: The LPJ model as mentioned in this paper combines process-based, large-scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land-atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework, including feedback through canopy conductance between photosynthesis and transpiration and interactive coupling between these 'fast' processes and other ecosystem processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen and Lignin Control of Hardwood Leaf Litter Decomposition Dynamics
TL;DR: The effects of initial nitrogen and lignin contents of six species of hardwood leaves on their decomposition dynamics were studied at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest by inverse linear relationships between the percentage of original mass remaining and the nitrogen concentration in the residual material.
Book ChapterDOI
The Mineral Nutrition of Wild Plants Revisited: A Re-evaluation of Processes and Patterns
Rien Aerts,F. S. Chapin +1 more
TL;DR: The issues of nutrient-limited plant growth and nutrient uptake, with special emphasis on the importance of the uptake of nutrients in organic form—both by mycorrhizal and by non-mycorrhIZal plants—and the influence of symbiotic nitrogen fixation are treated.

Book
Nonparametric statistics for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: This is the revision of the classic text in the field, adding two new chapters and thoroughly updating all others as discussed by the authors, and the original structure is retained, and the book continues to serve as a combined text/reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Trophic-Dynamic Aspect of Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply trophic principles to a series of successional stages to shed new light on the dynamics of ecological succession, and apply them to aquatic food-cycle relationships.

Rates of Succession and Soil Changes on Southern Lake Michigan Sand Dunes
TL;DR: Soil analyses of carbon, nitrogen, moisture equivalent, carbonates, acidity, and cation exchange relations show how most soil improvement of the original barren dune sand occurs within about a thousand years after stabilization, which fits into a mathematical framework for analyzing ecological succession and climax.
