Spatial abundance patterns across species' ranges have attracted intense attention in macroecology and biogeography. One key hypothesis has been that declines with geographical distance from the range centre, but tests of this idea shown effect may occur indeed only a minority cases. We explore an alternative hypothesis: abundances decline centroid habitable conditions environmental space (the ecological niche). demonstrate consistent negative abundance-ecological relationships all 11...
Ecosystem service provision varies temporally in response to natural and human-induced factors, yet research this field is dominated by analyses that ignore the time-lags feedbacks occur within socio-ecological systems. The implications of have been unstudied, but are central understanding how delivery will alter due future land-use/cover change. Urban areas expanding faster than any other land-use, making cities ideal study systems for examining such legacy effects. We assess extent which...
Understanding the long-term dynamics of urban vegetation is essential in determining trends provision key resources for biodiversity and ecosystem services improving their management. Such studies are, however, extremely scarce due to lack suitable historical data. We use repeat photographs from 1900s, 1950s, 2010 assess general quantity size distributions tree stock Sheffield resultant aboveground carbon storage. Total numbers declined by a third 1900s but increased approximately 50%...
Introduction: Climate change represents a problem that generates long-term impacts and is considered threat to the conservation of many species. Objective: To evaluate impact climate on distribution areas 10 trees species characteristic cloud forests in state Oaxaca. Materials methods: The was evaluated for two-time horizons (2050 2080) two emission scenarios (RCP 4.5 8.5) under Had GEM2-ES general atmospheric circulation model. Current future modeled with MaxEnt. Carpinus tropicalis,...
