Abstract:
AbstractEcologists addressed the effects of disturbances from the onset of the field by focusing on ecesis, which is the process by which organisms migrate and establish under the environmental conditions created by disturbances. Ecesis is the onset of succession, a self-organizing process whose nature, speed, and outcome depend in part on the outcomes of ecesis and the residual legacies remaining after disturbances. A by-product of succession after a disturbance is the reorganization of species dominance, or novelty. The degree of novelty in the outcome increases with the severity of the dist

Abstract:
Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can provide profound insights into the mechanisms that drive land cover change. We analyzed the spatial patterns of anthropogenic disturbance before and after a period of significant oil and gas extraction in two boreal forest subregions in Alberta, Canada. A spatially explicit model was used to map levels of anthropogenic forest crown mortality across 700 000 ha of managed forest over a 60-year period. The

The earth has been reshaped for millennia. The accelerating pace of anthropogenic activities has generated enormous impacts on the water environment. As one of the main drivers of landscape change, anthropogenic disturbance has brought many negative effects on rivers. Studying the relationship between anthropogenic disturbances and river water quality is of significance for regional conservation and ecosystem management, while the relationship remains poorly understood in the current.

Inland lake variations are considered sensitive indicators of global climate change. However, human activity is playing as a more and more important role in inland lake area variations.

As the most widely distributed and largest terrestrial ecosystem in the world, grasslands play an important role in supporting global livestock production and maintaining ecosystem services. In light of the accelerated global socio-economic development and sustained population growth, grassland ecosystems are increasingly subjected to anthropogenic disturbances.

Most work on the disturbance ecology of North American forests has focused on the tree canopy and woody understory, with little consideration of the herbaceous layer.

Estuarine environments are threatened by the synergistic effects of anthropogenic disturbance and bioinvasion.

In addition, the release and accumulation of toxicants from antifouling (AF) paints on vessel hulls creates a chemical disturbance that may reduce the invasion resistance of native communities.

Abstract:
Abstract Coral reefs degradation accelerates in recent decades due to the natural disturbance and anthropogenic activities. It is important to predict and evaluate reasonably the hydrodynamic consequences of reef degradation. An improved weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamic (WCSPH) porous model is developed based on the standard two-phase mixture theory. The developed WCSPH mixture model is validated by comparing the predicted results with the corresponding available data. The model is then adopted to predict the effects of reef degradation on the spatial distributions of wave se

Abstract:
Fire has been a part of natural disturbance regime in boreal and to some extent also hemiboreal forests, affecting soil and light conditions, seedbanks, trees and ground vegetation. The most significant factors affecting occurrence, severity and size of forest fires are anthropogenic, weather and the environment, all of which are changing due to human-caused climate change. This paper discusses medium term (25 years) vegetation development in five different biotopes after fire disturbance. Sample plots were established in Slitere Reserve (now National park) in north-western Latvia on areas aff

Abstract. Anthropogenic noise from navigation is a major contributor to the disturbance of the acoustic soundscape in underwater environments. The noise generated by ship’s machinery exhibits energetic tonal harmonic peaks at multiples of the rotating and firing frequency, that occur in the 20-200 Hz frequency range and difficult to control with classical soundproofing materials. Quarter wavelength tubes (QWT) can be a concrete solution since their absorption peaks are harmonic odd integers of the first resonance frequency. The main issue of QWT is their tuning length, which equals 1.43 m for

Natural resource management at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield (NB) is guided by our understanding of the woodlands and prairies at the time of the Civil War battle in 1861. This report is focused on the Manley Woods unit of the park. This unit is an oak-hickory woodland in the Springfield Plain subsection of the Ozarks. Canopy closure for Missouri oak woodlands can be highly variable and ranges from 30–100% across the spectrum of savanna, open woodland, and closed woodland types. In 1861, the woodland was likely a savanna community. Changes in land use (e.g., fire exclusion) caused an increa
