Heterogeneity of soil carbon pools and fluxes in a channelized and a restored floodplain section (Thur River, Switzerland)

Claire Guenat, François Gillet, Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier

Heterogeneity of soil carbon pools and fluxes in a channelized and a restored floodplain section (Thur River, Switzerland)

Claire Guenat, François Gillet, Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier

Due to their spatial complexity and dynamic nature, floodplains provide a wide range of ecosystem functions. However, because of flow regulation, many riverine floodplains have lost their characteristic heterogeneity. Restoration of floodplain habitats and ...

Modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems: a review

François Gillet

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to tackle the complexities associated with disturbance processes. Here we review t ...

Polyploidy and invasion success: trait trade-offs in native and introduced cytotypes of two Asteraceae species

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Aurélie Thébault

Invasion success is favoured by the introduction of pre-adapted genotypes. In addition, novel pressures in the introduced range may lead to phenotypic changes related to fitness or competitive ability of introduced plants. Polyploidy appears to be over-rep ...

Effect of dung deposition on small-scale patch structure and seasonal vegetation dynamics in mountain pastures

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Charlotte Vandenberghe

Cattle activity greatly influences plant species composition and biomass production of grassland ecosystems. Dung deposition by cattle together with grazing and trampling can be considered as one of the important factors driving vegetation dynamics in past ...

Restoration of Threatened Arable Weed Communities in Abandoned Mountainous Crop Fields

François Gillet, Charlotte Vandenberghe

Arable fields maintaining species-rich weed communities have almost disappeared from European mountain areas due to their abandonment or replacement by extensive grazing systems during the last decades. The restoration of arable weed communities have becom ...

Simulation tools for decision support to adaptive forest management in Europe

François Gillet

In forest management there is a tendency towards measuring more cost-effective and simulating more. In this context the development of reliable, user friendly forest simulators has become economically relevant. The objective of this perspective paper is to ...

Long-term dynamics of aboveground fungal communities in a subalpine Norway spruce forest under elevated nitrogen input

Rita Bütler Sauvain, François Gillet, Simon Egli

As anthropogenic N deposition has been suspected to be the main reason for the decline of macromycetous sporocarp production in forest ecosystems, various N-fertilization experiments were started in the mid 1990s. The dynamics of ectomycorrhizal (root-inha ...

Community development along a proglacial chronosequence: are above-ground and below-ground community structure controlled more by biotic than abiotic factors?

François Gillet, Edward Mitchell

P>1. We studied vascular plant and soil-dwelling testate amoeba communities in deglaciated sites across a range of substrate ages in Kenai Fjords, Alaska, USA to test four hypotheses. (i) Patterns of community assembly are similar for vascular plants and t ...

Statistical Assessment of Variability of Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis Applied to Complex Microbial Communities

Christof Holliger, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, François Gillet, Nouhou Diaby, Pierre Rossi

The variability of terminal restriction fragment polymorphism analysis applied to complex microbial communities was assessed statistically. Recent technological improvements were implemented in the successive steps of the procedure, resulting in a standard ...

Modelling vegetation dynamics in heterogeneous pasture-woodland landscapes

François Gillet

Recent knowledge about tree regeneration, shifting mosaic in the herb layer or complex interactions between cattle activities, vegetation and landscape structure has allowed the development of a novel, spatially explicit, mosaic compartment model of the dy ...

Simulation modelling of ecological hierarchies in constructive dynamical systems

François Gillet

Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful epistemological framework to describe such systems by decomposing them ve ...

Spatial and seasonal patterns of cattle habitat use in a mountain wooded pasture

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

Management-oriented models of cattle habitat use often treat grazing pressure as a single variable summarizing all cattle activities. This paper addresses the following questions: How does the spatial pattern of cattle effects vary between cattle activitie ...

Effect of cattle activities on gap colonisation in mountain pastures

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

Cattle influences gap dynamics in pastures in two ways: (1) by creating gaps and (2) by affecting the colonization process. This effect of cattle activity on gap revegetation can be subdivided in three main factors: herbage removal, trampling and dung and ...

How elevated pCO2 modifies total and metabolically active bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of two perennial grasses grown under field conditions

François Gillet

The response of total (DNA-based analysis) and active (RNA-based analysis) bacterial communities to a pCO2 increase under field conditions was assessed using two perennial grasses: the nitrophilic Lolium perenne and the oligonitrophilic Molinia coerulea. P ...
