Analyzing the major drivers of NEE in a Mediterranean alpine shrubland by B. R. Reverter, E. P. Sánchez-Cañete, V. Resco, P. Serrano-Ortiz, C. Oyonarte, A. S. Kowalski

“…Two years of continuous measurements of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) using the eddy covariance technique were made over a Mediterranean alpine shrubland. This ecosystem was found to be a net source of CO<sub>2</sub> (+ 52 ± 7 g C m<sup>−2</sup> and + 48 ± 7 g C m<sup>−2</sup> for 2007 and 2008) during the two-year study period. …”

Composition, structure and diversity of shrublands in central Nuevo Leon, Mexico by Eduardo Alanís-Rodríguez, Javier Jimenez-Pérez, Humberto González-Rodríguez, Pamela A. Canizales-Velázquez, Arturo Mora-Olivo, Jose M. Mata Balderas, Javier Hernandez Salas

“… The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis at the plant community level of the five most common types of shrublands (semithorn shrubland, microphyllous desert shrubland, rosetophyllous desert shrubland, piedmont scrub, and tamaulipan thornscrub) in the state of Nuevo Leon (northeastern Mexico). …”

The Greenness of Major Shrublands in China Increased from 2001 to 2013 by Yalin Wang, Qiong Gao, Ting Liu, Yuqiang Tian, Mei Yu

“…Two major shrubland types (subtropical evergreen and temperate deciduous) and two desert types (high-cold desert and temperate desert) increased significantly, whereas subalpine evergreen shrubland decreased at a rate of −0.64 × 10−3 EVI·a−1. …”

Aridity influences the recovery of vegetation and shrubland birds after wildfire. by Roger Puig-Gironès, Lluís Brotons, Pere Pons

“…Overall, this study suggests that future increases in aridity can affect plant regeneration after fire and slow down the recovery of animal populations that depend on understorey and shrublands. Given the recently highlighted increases in aridity and fire frequency in Mediterranean-climate regions, improved knowledge on how aridity affects ecological succession is especially necessary.…”

A Study of Two High Intensity Fires across Corsican Shrubland by Jacky Fayad, Frédéric Morandini, Gilbert Accary, François-Joseph Chatelon, Clément Wandon, Antoine Burglin, Lucile Rossi, Thierry Marcelli, Dominique Cancellieri, Valérie Cancellieri, Dominique Morvan, Sofiane Meradji, Antoine Pieri, Gilles Planelles, René Costantini, Patrice Briot, Jean-Louis Rossi

“…This paper reports two experimental fires conducted at field-scale in Corsica, across a particular mountain shrubland. The orientation of the experimental plots was chosen in such a way that the wind was aligned along the main slope direction in order to obtain a high intensity fire. …”

Vegetation responses to season of fire in an aseasonal, fire-prone fynbos shrubland by Tineke Kraaij, Richard M. Cowling, Brian W. van Wilgen, Diba R. Rikhotso, Mark Difford

“…Season of fire has marked effects on floristic composition in fire-prone Mediterranean-climate shrublands. In these winter-rainfall systems, summer-autumn fires lead to optimal recruitment of overstorey proteoid shrubs (non-sprouting, slow-maturing, serotinous Proteaceae) which are important to the conservation of floral diversity. …”

Turbulent transport of energy across a forest and a semiarid shrubland by T. Banerjee, T. Banerjee, P. Brugger, F. De Roo, K. Kröniger, D. Yakir, E. Rotenberg, M. Mauder

“…The production of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) over the forest is strongly mechanical, while buoyancy effects generate most of the TKE over the shrubland. Overall TKE production is much higher above the forest compared to the shrubland. …”

Links between plant and fungal diversity in habitat fragments of coastal shrubland. by Mia R Maltz, Kathleen K Treseder, Krista L McGuire

“…This study investigated whether fragmentation, and the effects of fragmentation on plants, altered fungal diversity and function within a fragmented shrubland in southern California. Using fluorimetric techniques, we assayed enzymes from plant litter collected from fragments of varying sizes to investigate enzymatic responses to fragmentation. …”
