Sentence examples for succession dynamics from inspiring English sources

For example, the structure of the network of interactions in an ecosystem [ 6, 7] affects many of the system's dynamical behaviours including succession dynamics and community assembly rules [ 8, 9], the stability, resilience and adaptive capacity of a community [ 10– 14], the presence of alternative stable states [ 15– 17], and the system's susceptibility to regime shifts [ 18].

Our model can provide insight into the succession dynamics of coastal swamps and information for the effective design of restoration actions.

Natural and human-induced disturbances modify the stand age and succession dynamics of the landscape in a unique way, changing the live biomass and dead organic matter stocks and subsequent turnover [65, 66].

The loss of Castanea sativa cover and its dominance as a characteristic species may indicate forest degradation, which can occur as a result of natural succession dynamics or invasion by alien species.

We develop a conservation planning framework for ecosystems where disturbance events and succession drive vegetation dynamics.

Follow-up studies that focus on succession and recent dynamics are however necessary, especially with the increasing fire occurrences (Pricope and Binford 2012), ongoing deforestation, conversion to commercial cattle farms and the unknown effect of climate change.

This analysis leads to general predictions about how the temporal scaling of patch succession and extinction colonization dynamics influences long-term persistence.

By considering predictive and exploratory modelling alongside each other, we aim to illustrate the range of methods used to model succession and disturbance dynamics and the challenges involved in the model-building and evaluation processes in this arena.

However, current field data includes also some trees of early-succession and mid-succession (due to gap dynamics in the forest).
