    • Fire and herbivory shape soil arthropod communities through habitat heterogeneity and nutrient cycling in savannas 

      Thoresen, Joshua; Vermeire, Marie-Liesse; Venter, Zander; Wolfaard, Graeme; Krumins, Jennifer Adams; Cramer, Michael; Hawkins, Heidi-Jayne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Soil arthropods are important components of savannas, contributing to nutrient cycling and thus primary productivity. To investigate how fire and mammalian herbivores influ- ence arthropod food webs, we used two long term ...

    • Late snow melt moderates herbivore disturbance of the Arctic tundra 

      Anderson, Helen B.; Speed, James David Mervyn; Madsen, Jesper; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Tombre, Ingunn; van der Wal, René (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Resilience of tundra vegetation to disturbance by herbivores can be low and lead to ecosystem state shifts. Pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus are the most numerous herbivore on Svalbard and disturb vegetation when ...

    • Salvage logging of mountain birch after geometrid outbreaks: Ecological context determines management outcomes 

      Vindstad, Ole Petter Laksforsmo; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Klinghardt, Moritz; Ek, Malin; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Outbreaks of pest insects occasionally cause mortality of entire forest stands. Salvage logging of affected stands is the most common management response to such events. Logging may aid stand recovery by increasing the ...

    • Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in an alpine ecosystem grazed by sheep – An experimental approach 

      Austrheim, Gunnar; Speed, James David Mervyn; Evju, Marianne; Hester, Alison; Holand, Øystein; Loe, Leif Egil; Martinsen, Vegard; Mobæk, Ragnhild; Mulder, Jan; Steen, Harald; Thompson, Des B.A.; Mysterud, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Domestic livestock drives ecosystem changes in many of the world’s mountain regions, and can be the dominant influenceon soil, habitat and wildlife dynamics. Grazing impacts on ecosystem services (ES) vary according to ...
