Spatial gradients in elevation that capture variation in temperature, soil age and type, disturbance regimes, and land-use histories providing important insights into how organisms, communities, and e...

The ability of a system to change but maintain its basic attributes; a resilient forest stand subjected to disturbance will return to conditions similar to those present prior to the disturbance but m...

Statistical inference procedure that selects flattest probability distributions compatible with constraints imposed by prior knowledge

Classification of species with similar characteristics into plant functional groups or plant functional types to reduce complexity in ecological communities

Underground ecosystem components crucial for sustaining ecosystem function but often remain unseen

The study of spatial distribution patterns of microorganisms and the factors controlling these patterns
