Globally, unowned urban cats are a major concern because they may suffer from poor welfare and cause problems, including public health risks, nuisances, and urban wildlife predation. While management options are often presented as a choice between cu

Wood represents the defining feature of forest systems, and often the carbon in woody debris has a long residence time. Globally, coarse dead wood contains 36‐72PgC, and understanding what controls the fate of this C is important for predicting C c

Ecosystem function and species loss - a microcosm study

Autor: J. Stuart Bradley, Fiona R. Scarff

Publikováno v: Journal of Biogeography. 29:641-651

There are too many kinds of organisms to be able to study and manage each, yet the loss of a single species can sometimes unravel an ecosystem. Such 'fusewire species' - critical in the same sense that an electrical fuse can cut out a whole circuit -

Exploring phosphate effects on leaf flammability using a physical chemistry model

Autor: Mark Westoby, Brian F. Gray, Fiona R. Scarff

Publikováno v: International Journal of Wildland Fire. 21:1042

Some plants have traits that cause them to be more flammable than others, influencing wildfire spread and fire regimes. Some of these plant traits have been identified through laboratory-scale experiments. We built a numerical model that could quanti
