Our meta-analysis examined how different P addition amounts, grassland types, and P addition durations influence plant communities. P addition increased Aboveground Net Primary Productivity (ANPP) by 13.15 % (P &lt; 0.05) and reduced species richness by 6.47 %.

P addition had a positive effect the ANPP of on arid grassland, which increased 15.96 %. With longer P addition duration, the ANPP increase declined from 12.95 % to 8.11 %, and the reduction in species richness deepened from −6.73 % to −9.76 %. There was a significant negative correlation between ANPP and P addition, but there was no significant correlation between community diversity and P addition. There is a large correlation between species richness and ANPP. This study found that P addition changed community assembly by changing the community allocation mechanism and breaking the resource constraints. Community productivity and diversity were affected by changing the distribution of functional traits and the redistribution mechanism of nutrient resources of dominant species in the community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article e03871"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145159858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study revealed that tiger gut bacterial community structures varied due to habitats and seasons. We identified thirty-six core bacterial genera (more than 90 % of samples) from all the samples.

Here, we investigated the diversity and niche occupancy of bird species across an urbanization gradient in Guangzhou, China. Bird occurrence records from online public databases, including Bird Report, eBird, and the GBIF for 1998–2022 were used to model the potential distributions of 288 bird species in Guangzhou with MaxEnt at a 1 km × 1 km resolution, evaluated by cross-validation and AUC. Niche occupancy dynamics were assessed using the standardized effect size of functional richness (SES.FRic), and generalized linear mixed models employed relationships among urbanization, net primary productivity (NPP), and diversity metrics. Migratory and resident bird communities showed similar distribution patterns, and all bird species richness was significantly negatively correlated with the urbanization index. With increasing urbanization, SES.FRic of bird communities decreases, indicating a typical pattern of niche packing, where birds optimize adaptation by increasing population density, enhancing resource use efficiency, and adjusting life history strategies within a limited niche space. Furthermore, NPP possibly promotes bird species richness by enhancing foraging and nesting resources. However, this effect is insufficient to offset the structural changes and resource heterogeneity induced by urbanization, which continue to constrain niche expansion. Our findings underscore that conservation strategies in Guangzhou should focus on enhancing green spaces quality, increasing resource availability, and promoting targeted habitat management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article e03873"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145159853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I then identify missing strategies and emerging opportunities for wolf conservation in Switzerland specifically, which is a relevant case study due to mounting opposition among rural citizens. I suggest that two strategies in Switzerland’s approach to human–wolf coexistence are missing, which can create sustained co-benefits for both humans, especially farmers, and wolves: financial instruments (including benefit sharing and conservation performance payments) and community-based conservation.

Within the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, intensive browsing by wapiti (<em>Cervus elaphus</em>) on <em>Taxus cuspidata</em> has severely impacted their growth and regeneration. Both species are flagship species for biodiversity conservation, and constitute primary conservation targets of the national park. It is therefore critical to evaluate whether wapiti browsing facilitates or constrains <em>Taxus cuspidata</em> population recovery. We conducted field investigations from 2020 to 2025 using quadrat surveys, plot monitoring, sapling assessments, and fence establishment. Data were analyzed with resource selection functions (RSF), generalized additive models (GAM), and piecewise regression to assess how wapiti browsing affects the growth and regeneration of <em>Taxus cuspidata</em> populations. Our findings indicate that: (1) Browsing probability decreases with increasing distance from mature trees (&gt;15.7 m) and further declines beyond 29.3 m, promoting population distribution range and self-thinning. (2) At the individual level, Wapiti browsing may hinder growth. Browsed saplings exhibited adaptive shifts in resource allocation, prioritizing lateral branch regeneration and basal diameter recovery over apical dominance; (3) Low-intensity browsing (1–30 %) enhances <em>Taxus cuspidata</em> regeneration. (4) To balance conservation, fence saplings within 15.7–29.3 m of mature trees based on the browsing threshold. These results challenge conventional paradigms of browsing impacts by demonstrating context-dependent facilitation effects. We propose a spatially explicit conservation framework integrating browse-tolerant regeneration zones with targeted sapling protection, advancing sustainable co-management of ungulates and endangered flora in boreal ecosystems.

This study investigated 21 typical populations of <em>Asterothamnus centraliasiaticus</em>, a keystone species widely distributed across desert ecosystems on the QTP. Using inter-simple sequence repeat molecular markers, we assessed the genetic diversity and examined the effects of environmental filtering on gene flow across different climatic zones.

The results demonstrated substantial genetic diversity in <em>A. centraliasiaticus</em> populations, with a mean number of alleles of 1.86 and Nei’s genetic diversity of 0.31. Population genetic structure analysis revealed distinct geographic clustering patterns in most populations. However, notable exceptions were observed, in which certain individuals exhibited genetic similarities with geographically distant populations. Moderate levels of genetic exchange (1.42–2.15) were observed among populations distributed across different climatic zones in the study area.

Among the variables, soil available phosphorus and mean annual temperature emerged as the most influential drivers of genetic differentiation, contributing 88.63 % and 79.04 % of the explained environmental variance, respectively. In contrast, IBD accounted for less than 2 % of the genetic variation. Mantel tests further confirmed the absence of statistically significant correlations between genetic differentiation and both horizontal and vertical geographic distance matrices.

We analyzed 36 years (1987–2022) of Landsat data to map long-term changes in mangrove extent and stand types, alongside low-tide Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 MSI composites to reduce tidal influence on spectral and backscatter signals. A systematic sampling design incorporating 257 field plots and hierarchical clustering was used to identify six distinct species communities. Tidal inundation had a significant impact on backscatter and reflectance, highlighting the importance of low-tide imagery for accurate species discrimination.

Within this increase, rehabilitated and regenerated areas added 837 and 681 ha, respectively. However, the rehabilitated stands were largely monoculture and structurally less complex, signaling the need for more diverse and ecologically informed restoration strategies.
