Aboveground-belowground linkages: biotic interactions, ecosystem processes, and global change / Richard Bardgett (2010)

Public ISBD Titre : Aboveground-belowground linkages: biotic interactions, ecosystem processes, and global change Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Richard Bardgett, Auteur ; David A. Wardle, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2010 Collection : Oxford series in ecology and evolution Importance : 301 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-954688-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] écosystème [Thesagri] environnement [Thesagri] plante [Thesagri] sol Index. décimale : LE-0 Généralités Note de contenu : Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between aboveground and belowground communities play in regulating the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, and their responses to global change. It charts the historical development of this field of ecology and evaluates what can be learned from the recent proliferation of studies on the ecological and biogeochemical significance of aboveground-belowground linkages. The book is structured around four key topics: biotic interactions in the soil; plant community effects; the role of aboveground consumers; and the influence of species gains and losses. A concluding chapter draws together this information and identifies a number of cross-cutting themes, including consideration of aboveground-belowground feedbacks that occur at different spatial and temporal scales, the consequences of these feedbacks for ecosystem processes, and how aboveground-belowground interactions link to human-induced global change. 1: Introduction 2: Biotic Interactions in Soil as Drivers of Ecosystem Properties 3: Plant Community Influences on the Soil Community and Plant-Soil Feedbacks 4: Ecosystem Level Significance of Aboveground Consumers 5: Aboveground and Belowground Consequences of Species Losses and Gains 6: Underlying Themes and Ways Forward Aboveground-belowground linkages: biotic interactions, ecosystem processes, and global change [Ouvrage] / Richard Bardgett, Auteur ; David A.

Biological Diversity and Function in Soils / Richard Bardgett ; Michael Usher ; David Hopkins (2005)

Public ISBD Titre : Biological Diversity and Function in Soils Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Richard Bardgett ; Michael Usher ; David Hopkins Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 411 p, Format : 30 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60987-6 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : [Thesagri] biodiversité [Thesagri] écologie Note de contenu : Soil has generally been regarded as something of a 'black box' by ecologists. The importance of soil is obvious: it provides physical support for plants, and both the living and non-living components contribute to a variety of important environmental functions. Soil is a species-rich habitat, but many questions about the ecological significance of the soil's biological diversity, and in particular how it affects ecosystem function, have never been asked. The linkages between above-ground ecology, which is rich in ecological theory, and below-ground ecology, where investigation has been restricted by methodological difficulties, have not been made. Technical developments, including isotopic and molecular methods as well as experimental and modelling approaches, have led to a renaissance in soil biodiversity research. The key areas are reflected in this exciting volume which brings together many leading contributors to explore the role and importance of soil biota.
