Percent light penetration: Long-Term Nitrogen Deposition: Population, Community, and Ecosystem Consequences
The purpose of this experiment is to measure how adding nitrogen over a long time will affect the number of species, the type of species present, the amount of annual growth, and the change from year to year in the growth of each species in a plant community which is also relieved of grazing by large and small mammals. The experiment is being conducted within fields (A, B, C, and D) which were initially low in soil nutrients. There are 8 different levels of nitrogen addition with other nutrients added to ensure that nitrogen remains the limiting nutrient, and a control which receives no nutrients. There are 6 replicates of the 9 treatments in fields A, B, and C and 5 replicates in field D. The treatments were randomly assigned to the plots. In fields A, B, and C the plots are in 6 by 9 grids and are 4 by 4 meters in size with 1 meter aisles between plots. In field D the plots are 1.5 by 4 meters and are placed in a 3 by 17 grid. The plots are enclosed by a fence to keep out mammalian herbivores. Gophers are trapped and removed as they appear. Nitrogenfertilizer (NH4NO3) is applied twice per year, once in early May and once in late June. This experiment was begun in 1982 by David Tilman.

Data from: Consequences of grazer-induced vegetation transitions on ecosystem carbon storage in the tundra
1. Large herbivores can control plant community composition and, under certain conditions, even induce vegetation shifts to alternative ecosystem states. As different plant assemblages maintain contrasting carbon (C) cycling patterns, herbivores have the potential to alter C sequestration at regional scales. Their influence is of particular interest in the Arctic tundra, where a large share of the world's soil C reservoir is stored. 2. We analysed how grazing mammals influence tundra vegetation and how grazer-induced vegetation shifts affect tundra C stocks, by resampling two sites located along pasture rotation fences in northern Norway. These fences have separated lightly grazed areas from heavily grazed areas (in close proximity to the fences) and moderately grazed areas (further away from the fences) for the past 50 years. 14 years earlier, the lightly and moderately grazed areas were dominated by dwarf shrubs, whereas heavy grazing had promoted the establishment of graminoid-dominated vegetation. Since then, both reindeer densities and temperatures have increased, and more time has passed for transient dynamics to be expressed. We expected that the vegetation and C stocks would have changed under all grazing intensities, but not necessarily in the same way. 3. At the site where relative reindeer numbers and trampling intensity had increased the most, graminoid-dominated vegetation was now also found in the moderately grazed area. At the other site, the dominant vegetation types under all grazing intensities were the same as 14 years earlier. 4. We show that the heavily grazed, graminoid-dominated, areas stored less C aboveground than the lightly grazed, shrub-dominated, areas. Yet, the belowground consequences of grazing-induced grassification varied between the sites: Grazing did not alter organic soil C stocks at the site where both evergreen and deciduous shrubs were abundant in the lightly grazed area, whereas heavy grazing increased organic soil C stocks at the site where the deciduous shrub Betula nana was dominant. 5. Our results indicate that despite the negative impacts of grazers on aboveground C storage, their impact on belowground C may even be positive. We suggest that the site-specific responses of organic soil C stocks to grazing could be explained by the differences in vegetation under light grazing. This would imply that the replacement of deciduous shrubs by graminoids, as a consequence of grazing, could be beneficial for C sequestration in tundra soils.
Regime shifts in a shallow lake: Consequences for taxonomic and functional diversity, and ecosystem multifunctionality
<ol> <li>Under increasing nutrient loading, shallow lakes may shift from a state of clear water dominated by submerged macrophytes to a turbid state dominated by phytoplankton or a shaded state dominated by floating macrophytes. How such regime shifts mediate the relationship between taxonomic and functional diversity and lake multifunctionality is poorly understood.</li> <li>We employed a detailed database describing a shallow lake over a 12-year period during which the lake has displayed all the three states (clear, turbid, and shaded) to investigate how species richness, functional diversity of fish and zooplankton, ecosystem multifunctionality, and five individual ecosystem functions (nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, standing fish biomass, algae production, and light availability) differ among states. We also evaluated how the relationship between biodiversity (species richness and functional diversity) and multifunctionality is affected by regime shifts.</li> <li>We showed that species richness and the functional diversity of fish and zooplankton were highest during the clear state. The clear state also maintained the highest values of multifunctionality as well as standing fish biomass production, algae production, and light availability, whereas the turbid and shaded states had higher nutrient concentrations. Functional diversity was the best predictor of multifunctionality. The relationship between functional diversity and multifunctionality was strongly positive during the clear state, but such relationship became flatter after the shift to the turbid or shaded state.</li> <li>Our findings illustrate that focusing on functional traits may provide a more mechanistic understanding of how regime shifts affect biodiversity and the consequences for ecosystem functioning. Regime shifts towards a turbid or shaded state negatively affect the taxonomic and functional diversity of fish and zooplankton, which in turn impairs the multifunctionality of shallow lakes.</li> </ol>
Fig. 6 in Salinity Variation in a Mangrove Ecosystem: A Physiological Investigation to Assess Potential Consequences of Salinity Disturbances on Mangrove Crabs
Fig. 6. NKA immunolabelling and activity for Neosarmatium meinerti (A, C, E) and Tubuca urvillei (B, D, F). NKA immunolabelling is shown for anterior (A, C) and posterior (B, D) gills (here, gill 8 for N. meinerti and gill 6 for T. urvillei). NKA activity (E, F) was measured from the last three gill pairs of crabs exposed to SW or dSW. Different letters show statistically significant differences based on a twoway ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test (p <0.05). GL: gill lamellae; arrow heads indicate NKA labelling. This labelling occurs along the basal side of the epithelial cells and appears reduced in the anterior gills but thicker in the posterior gills. Scale bar = 40 µm.

Fig. 2. Dorsal view of Neosarmatium meinerti (A) and Tubuca urvillei (B). (C) Schematic representation of the experimental setup. For those analyses considering gill tissues (morphology, NKA activity and labelling), anterior and posterior gills were considered separately. The macroscopic view of N. meinerti and T. urvillei gill cavities are shown in D and E, respectively. The branchiostegite covering the branchial cavity has been removed. Gills are numbered from the anterior side of the crabs. Both species present a similar gill organization but different total gill number: whilst there are 2 podobranchs and 4 arthrobranchs for T. urvillei, N. meinerti possess 3 podobranchs and 4 arthrobranchs. (F) Histological section of a phyllobranchiate gill (T. urvillei) with flat leaf-like lamellae connected to a central axis distributing and collecting the circulating hemolymph. Anterior and posterior gills of both species present a similar branchial organisation. CA: central axis; cSW: concentrated seawater; dSW: diluted seawater; FW: freshwater; GL: gill lamellae; GT: gill tip; iSW: isosmotic seawater; N: dissecting needle; SW: seawater. Scale bars: A = 3 cm, B = 2 cm; C = 2 cm; D = 7 mm; E = 500 µm. *values adjusted to the isosmotic point of each of the two species according to the results provided in figure 3A.
