Self-organized patchiness and catastrophic shifts in ecosystems
Unexpected sudden catastrophic shifts may occur in ecosystems, with concomitant losses or
gains of ecological and economic resources. Such shifts have been theoretically attributed …

Drought and ecosystem carbon cycling
Drought as an intermittent disturbance of the water cycle interacts with the carbon cycle
differently than the ‘gradual’ climate change. During drought plants respond physiologically and …

Dryland mechanisms could widely control ecosystem functioning in a drier and warmer world
Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

Accumulation of local pathogens: a new hypothesis to explain exotic plant invasions
Recent studies have concluded that release from native soil pathogens may explain invasion
of exotic plant species. However, release from soil enemies does not explain all plant …

Closing the gap between small and smaller: towards a framework to analyse nano-and microplastics in aqueous environmental samples
SM Mintenig, PS Bäuerlein, AA Koelmans… - Environmental …, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
Measuring concentrations and sizes of micro- and nanoplastics in the environment is essential
to assess the risks plastic particles could pose. Microplastics have been detected globally …

Global CO2 rise leads to reduced maximum stomatal conductance in Florida vegetation
EI Lammertsma, HJ Boer, SC Dekker… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
A principle response of C3 plants to increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 (CO 2 )
is to reduce transpirational water loss by decreasing stomatal conductance (g s ) and …

Forest-rainfall cascades buffer against drought across the Amazon
A Staal, OA Tuinenburg, JHC Bosmans… - Nature Climate …, 2018 - nature.com
Tree transpiration in the Amazon may enhance rainfall for downwind forests. Until now it has
been unclear how this cascading effect plays out across the basin. Here, we calculate local …

[HTML][HTML] A systems approach to understand microplastic occurrence and variability in Dutch riverine surface waters
Assessment methods on data quality and environmental variability are lacking for microplastics
(MP). Here we assess occurrence and variability of MP number concentrations in two …

[HTML][HTML] Hysteresis of tropical forests in the 21st century
Tropical forests modify the conditions they depend on through feedbacks at different spatial
scales. These feedbacks shape the hysteresis (history-dependence) of tropical forests, thus …

Understanding the reductions in US corn ethanol production costs: An experience curve approach
WG Hettinga, HM Junginger, SC Dekker, M Hoogwijk… - Energy policy, 2009 - Elsevier
The US is currently the world's largest ethanol producer. An increasing percentage is used
as transportation fuel, but debates continue on its costs competitiveness and energy balance. …
