Biologically mediated modifications of the abiotic environment, also called ecosystem engineering, can significantly affect a broad range ecosystems. Nevertheless, remarkably little work has focused on costs and benefits that engineers obtain from traits underlie their engineering capacity. We addressed this topic by comparing two autogenic engineers, which vary in degree they environment via physical structure. That is, we compared plant species intertidal coastal zone (Spartina anglica...

Summary Vegetation recovery in disturbance‐driven ecosystems is difficult to predict. We demonstrate a concept analyse time series for short‐term variability external forcing that can identify potential events sudden vegetation biogeomorphic such as saltmarshes, mangroves, dunes or floodplains. Time of (i.e. water level and wind speed) were analysed ‘Windows Opportunity’ (WoO), defined disturbance‐free periods critical minimal duration directly following diaspore dispersal, which allow...
One of the most frequently quoted ecosystem services seagrass meadows is their value for coastal protection. Many studies emphasize role above-ground shoots in attenuating waves, enhancing sedimentation and preventing erosion. This raises question if short-leaved, low density (grazed) with biomass belowground tissues can also stabilize sediments. We examined this by combining manipulative field experiments wave measurements along a typical tropical reef flat where green turtles intensively...
Our study aims to enhance process understanding of the long-term (decadal and longer) cyclic marsh dynamics by identifying mechanisms that translate large-scale physical forcing in system into vegetation change, particular (i) initiation lateral erosion on an expanding marsh, (ii) control seedling establishment front eroding marsh-cliff. Short-term sediment (i.e., seasonal shorter changes elevation) at mudflat causes variation elevation over time (δzTF). The resulting difference between...
The involvement of ethylene in root architectural responses to phosphorus availability was investigated common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants grown with sufficient and deficient phosphorus. Although deficiency reduced mass lateral number, main length unchanged by treatment. This resulted decreased density phosphorus‐deficient plants. possible growth inhibiting endogenous production amino‐ethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) aerating the system various concentrations ethylene. Phosphorus doubled...
• External mechanical forces resulting from the pressure exerted by wind or water movement are a major stress factor for plants and may cause regular disturbances in many ecosystems. A plant’s ability to resist these relies either on minimizing encountered plant (avoidance strategy), maximizing its resistance breakage (tolerance strategy). We investigated strategies using aquatic vegetation as model, examined whether avoidance tolerance negatively correlated. tested avoidance–tolerance...
