Non-native plant invasions can alter nutrient cycling processes and contribute to global climate change. In southern California, California sage scrub (hereafter scrub), a native shrub-dominated habitat type in lowland areas, has decreased <10% of its original distribution. Postdisturbance type-conversion non-native annual grassland, increasingly mustard-dominated invasive forbland, is key contributor loss. To better understand how by common annuals impacts carbon (C) nitrogen (N) storage...
Abstract As boreal forests rapidly warm due to anthropogenic climate change, long‐term baseline community data are needed effectively characterize the corresponding ecological changes that occurring in these forests. The combined seasonal dynamics (SEADYN) and annual (ANNDYN) set, which documents vegetative during snow‐free period, is one such source of data. These were collected by George H. La Roi colleagues Alberta, Canada from 1980 2015 within permanent sampling plots established...
