Comparison of grizzly bear hair-snag and scat sampling along roads to inform wildlife population monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-16)Wildlife managers conduct population inventories to monitor species, particularly those at-risk. Although costly and time consuming, grid-based DNA hair-snag sampling has been the standard protocol for grizzly bear inventories ... -
Comparison of properties of biochar produced from different types of lignocellulosic biomass by slow pyrolysis at 600 °C
(Journal article, 2022-10-17)Production of biochar from corn cob and corn stalk has gained great interest for efficient waste management with benefits of improving soil properties, increasing crop productivity, and contributing to carbon sequestration. ... -
Comparison of Two Hydrological Models, HEC-HMS and SWAT in Runoff Estimation: Application to Huai Bang Sai Tropical Watershed, Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-04)In the present study, the streamflow simulation capacities between the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Hydrologic Engineering Centre-Hydrologic Modelling System (HEC-HMS) were compared for the Huai Bang Sai ... -
Competition components along productivity gradients – revisiting a classic dispute in ecology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06-04)Competition is ubiquitous in plant communities with various effects on plant fitness and community structure. A long-standing debate about different approaches to explain competition is the controversy between David Tilman ... -
Competitive trait hierarchies of native communities and invasive propagule pressure consistently predict invasion success during grassland establishment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09-21)Invasive non-native plants challenge ecosystems restoration, and understanding the factors that determine the establishment of invasive plants is crucial to improve restoration outcomes. However, the drivers of invasibility ... -
A comprehensive phylogenomic study unveils evolutionary patterns and challenges in the mitochondrial genomes of Carcharhiniformes: A focus on Triakidae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12-30)The complex evolutionary patterns in the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the most species-rich shark order, the Carcharhiniformes (ground sharks) has led to challenges in the phylogenomic reconstruction of the families ... -
Concentrations and Retention Efficiency of Tire Wear Particles from Road Runoff in Bioretention Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-14)Bioretention cells are popular stormwater management systems for controlling peak runoff and improving runoff water quality. A case study on a functional large-scale bioretention cell and a laboratory column experiment was ... -
Considering inorganic P binding in bio-based products improves prediction of their P fertiliser value
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-07)Prediction of the relative phosphorus (P) fertiliser value of bio-based fertiliser products is agronomically important, but previous attempts to develop prediction models have often failed due to the high chemical complexity ... -
Contrasting biosphere responses to hydrometeorological extremes: revisiting the 2010 western Russian Heatwave
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-16)Combined droughts and heatwaves are among those compound extreme events that induce severe impacts on the terrestrial biosphere and human health. A record breaking hot and dry compound event hit western Russia in summer ... -
Controlled infrared heating of an artic meadow: challenge in the vegetation establishment stage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-19)Background: Global warming is going to affect both agricultural production and carbon storage in soil worldwide. Given the complexity of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, in situ experiments of climate warming are ... -
Controlling the abundance of a native invasive plant does not affect species richness or functional diversity of wet grasslands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-07-17)Aim: In this study, we tested plant community-based management methods to reduce the abundance of the invasive native plant Jacobaea aquatica (marsh ragwort). As J. aquatica mainly occurs in species-rich wet grasslands, ... -
