Compensation masks trophic cascades in complex food webs

A. K. Fahimipour, K. E. Anderson, R. J. Williams

The paper investigates trophic cascades in complex food webs and finds that compensatory responses within trophic guilds can mask cascades, primarily occurring in low richness and weakly connected webs.

Climatic warming strengthens a positive feedback between alpine shrubs and fire

J. S. Camac, R. J. Williams, C.-H. Wahren, A. A. Hoffmann, P. A. Vesk

The paper examines how warming and fire affect shrub recruitment and growth in alpine ecosystems, finding fire significantly increases shrub establishment and warming boosts growth rates.
