Environmental constraints on life histories in Antarctic ecosystems: Tempos, timings and predictability

Article Abstract:

The timing and extent of resource availability, from nutrients to colonisable space, differ across Antarctic marine, intertidal and terrestrial habitats and these differences affect the rate at which organisms function. Consequently, there are many dramatic biological differences between organisms that live as little as 10 m apart but have gaping voids between them ecologically.

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in boreal forest soils: a mycorrhizal ecosystems perspective

Article Abstract:

The mycorrhiza is a group of symbiotic fungi and associated bacteria carry out the decomposition and primary production in the forest ecosystems. The study of mycorrhizal diversity in petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated (PHC) soils is essential for planning environmental management strategies.
