Wetlands perform many essential ecosystem services—carbon storage, flood control, maintenance of biodiversity, fish production, and aquifer recharge, among others—services that have increasingly… Expand
The role of experimental microcosms in ecological research.
A number of recent and important developments in community ecology have been derived from experiments conducted in microcosms. Studies with microcosms have addressed a broad range of phenomena,… Expand
A comparative approach to examine competitive response of 48 wetland plant species
Abstract. Competitive ability can be separated into competitive effect (ability to suppress neighbours) and competitive response (ability to tolerate suppressive effect from neighbours), but little… Expand
