T. Maestre Fernando; F. Reynolds James. Patterns of resource availability and heterogeneity shape the composition,
productivity, and dynamics of plant assemblages in a wide variety of terrestrial ecosystems. Despite this, the responses of plant assemblages...

T. Maestre Fernando; F. Reynolds James. While it is well-established that the spatial distribution of soil nutrients (soil heterogeneity) influences the competitive ability and survival of individual plants, as well as the productivity of plant...
T. Maestre Fernando; D. Puche María. Methodologies based on indicators occupy a prevalent place when assessing ecosystem functioning and monitoring desertification processes because they are affordable yet do not compromise accuracy. The landscape function analysis...
T. Maestre Fernando; F. Reynolds James. Background and Aims: Size-asymmetric competition occurs when larger plants have a disproportionate advantage in competition with smaller plants. It has been hypothesized that nutrient heterogeneity may promote it. Experiments...
Miguel García-Gómez; T. Maestre Fernando. A substantial part of current research efforts on desertification are devoted to establish monitoring systems to evaluate the status of natural resources and the onset of desertification processes. Methodologies based...
T. Maestre Fernando; F. Reynolds James. Changes in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide ([CO2]), nutrient availability and biotic diversity are three major drivers of the ongoing global change impacting terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. While it...
Santiago Soliveres; Rubén Torices; T. Maestre Fernando. QUESTIONS: Molecular phylogenies are increasingly used to better understand the mechanisms structuring natural communities. The prevalent theory is that environmental factors and biotic interactions promote the phylogenetic clustering...
Santiago Soliveres; Rubén Torices; T. Maestre Fernando. Positive and negative plant–plant interactions are major processes shaping plant communities. They are affected by environmental conditions and evolutionary relationships among the interacting plants. However, the generality of...
D. Anadon José; E. Sala Osvaldo; T. Maestre Fernando. 1. Transition areas between biomes are particularly sensitive to environmental changes. Our understanding of the impacts of ongoing climate change on terrestrial ecosystems has significantly increased...
T. Maestre Fernando; D. Puche María; César Guerrero; Adrián Escudero. Shrub encroachment is a worldwide phenomenon with implications for desertification and global change. We evaluated its effects on the activities of urease, phosphatase and b-glucosidase...
