Using hidden Markov models to inform conservation and management strategies in ecosystems exhibiting alternative stable states J. Appl. Ecol. (IF 5.84) Pub Date : 2021-02-18 Kelsey Vitense; Mark A. Hanson; Brian R. Herwig; Kyle D. Zimmer; John Fieberg
Successful conservation of ecosystems exhibiting alternative stable states requires tools to accurately classify states and quantify state transition risk. Methods that utilize early warning signals are promising approaches for helping managers anticipate impending state transitions, but they require high‐resolution temporal or spatial data for individual sites, and they do not directly implicate causes

Spatio‐temporal patterns of rhizosphere microbiome assembly: from ecological theory to agricultural application J. Appl. Ecol. (IF 5.84) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Juana Munoz‐Ucros; Marie J. Zwetsloot; Catalina Cuellar‐Gempeler; Taryn L. Bauerle
There is urgency in optimizing agricultural production in light of climate uncertainty, human population growth, and resource limitations. The rhizosphere microbiome is a promising genetic resource, yet it is poorly understood. Additionally, research into rhizosphere microbial community assembly (MCA) lacks a consistent ecological framework that incorporates the dynamics of the occurring interactions

Flowering fields, organic farming and edge habitats promote diversity of plants and arthropods on arable land J. Appl. Ecol. (IF 5.84) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Christoph Gayer; Jochen Berger; Martin Dieterich; Róbert Gallé; Konrad Reidl; Rosa Witty; Ben A. Woodcock; Péter Batáry
Increased farming intensity led to massive declines across multiple farmland taxa. In Europe, measures introduced to counteract these losses include those considered agronomically productive, such as organic farming, as well as those that support no direct production of crops, such as non‐crop flowering fields in conventional farming systems. We studied biodiversity effects of non‐productive flowering

Global meta‐analysis reveals incomplete recovery of soil conditions and invertebrate assemblages after ecological restoration in agricultural landscapes J. Appl. Ecol. (IF 5.84) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Tina Parkhurst; Suzanne M Prober; Richard J Hobbs; Rachel J Standish
Restoration of old fields in agricultural landscapes has become increasingly important for conservation of species and their habitats owing to habitat destruction and rapid environmental change. Studies examining the outcomes of old field restoration predominantly focus on plant, and sometimes, vertebrate communities. Fewer studies have systematically investigated the effects of restoration efforts

Fire drives animal population dynamics across many ecosystems. Yet, we still lack an understanding of how most species recover from fire and the effects of fire severity and patchiness on recovery processes. This information is crucial for fire‐mediated biodiversity conservation, particularly as fire regimes change globally. We conducted an experiment to test whether post‐fire recovery is driven by

Human visitors are associated with the unintended dispersal of weeds, seeds and pathogens across ecological communities. With the increasing popularity of nature‐based tourism, access to protected areas has increased, in turn increasing the risks of unintended dispersal of exotic species to these areas. Here, we assess the potential contribution of both international and domestic visitors travelling

Extensive global estuarine wetland losses have prompted intensive focus on restoration of these habitats. In California, substantial tracts of freshwater, brackish and tidal wetlands have been lost. Given the anthropogenic footprint of development and urbanization in this region, wetland restoration must rely on conversion of existing habitat types rather than adding new wetlands. These restorations

1 INTRODUCTION Imagine a global community of people who—as a matter of daily routine—observe wildlife, smell the air, discuss the weather and touch the world around them. As sensors, people have evolved the ability to assess environmental change and one might easily conceive an army of such ‘citizen scientists’ ready and willing to advance knowledge. Of course, it is not that straightforward. Although

Up to one billion birds die annually in the U.S. from window collisions; most of these casualties represent migratory native species. Because this major mortality source likely contributes to the decline of the North American avifauna, mitigation tools are needed that accurately predict real‐time collision risk, allowing hazards to be minimized before fatalities occur. We assessed the potential use

Two years ago, we published an editorial demonstrating that submitted and published papers in Journal of Applied Ecology were heavily skewed towards English‐speaking authors from the Global North, with nearly 80% of our submitted papers and more than 88% of our published papers coming from North America, Europe and Oceania. This contribution provoked a strong response on social media, and was followed
