Abstract

Ecological systems are severely damaged by the anthropogenic disturbance of mining. Phosphate open‐pit mining fields cover over 200 km2 of the Negev desert, Israel. However, the effects of the ongoing mine site restoration efforts on the plant community have not been studied. Plants and their seed banks have a major role in ecosystem processes and restoration. In this study, we focused on three mining sites, restored in different years, along Zin River valley. We compared the plant community of restored mining plots within these areas to adjacent natural plots. We asked whether plant community germination potential from the soil seed bank differs between the restored plots and the adjacent natural plots within a mining site. We hypothesized that: (1) there is a lack of seed bank in the restored plots; (2) the altered soil composition at the restored plots inhibits germination. We used soil samples collected from the different mining sites and set up greenhouse experiments. One experiment compared natural and restored areas with different soil treatments. In another experiment, we added native seeds to test their germination potential on restored soil. Our results indicate that lack of seed bank is the major limiting factor hindering germination and not the composition of the soil after restoration. Our findings shed light on the constraints of seed bank establishment in post‐mining areas of hyper‐arid regions. We suggest considering active restoration practices to facilitate natural dispersal and improve seed bank establishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare knee joint awareness following kinematic alignment (KA) TKA in patients who had previously undergone mechanical alignment (MA) on their contralateral knee. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of all consecutive patients who underwent staged bilateral TKA, the first using MA technique and the second utilizing the KA technique, without patient specific instrumentations. Primary outcome was assessed by the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Differences between knees were also assessed by three predefined key questions. Secondary outcome were differences in knee alignment assessed by long standing x-rays. RESULTS: Overall, 38 patients (76 knees) met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The mean time for follow up was significantly shorter (P

34. Only a minority of bacteria grow after wetting in both natural and post-mining biocrusts in a hyperarid, phosphate mine.

Abstract

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are key contributors to desert ecosystem functions; therefore, biocrust restoration following mechanical disturbance is imperative. In the Negev Desert hyperarid regions, phosphate mining has been practiced for over 60 years, destroying soil habitats, and fragmenting the landscape. To understand the effects of mining activity on soil health, we previously characterized the biocrust communities in four phosphate mining sites over spatial (post-mining and natural plots) and temporal (2–10 years since restoration) scales. We showed that bacterial abundance, richness, and diversity in natural plots were significantly higher than in post-mining plots, regardless of temporal scale. In this study, we selected one mining site and used DNA stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) to identify which bacteria grow in post-mining and natural biocrusts. Since biocrust communities activate only after wetting, we incubated the biocrusts with H218O for 96 hours under ambient conditions. We then evaluated the physicochemical soil properties, chlorophyll a concentrations, activation, and functional potential of the biocrusts. The DNA-SIP assay revealed low bacterial activity in both plot types and no significant differences in the proliferated communities' composition when comparing post-mining and natural biocrusts. We further found no significant differences in the microbial functional potential, photosynthetic rates, or soil properties. Our results suggest that growth of hyperarid biocrust bacteria after wetting is minimal. We hypothesize that due to the harsh climatic conditions, during wetting bacteria devote their meager resources to prepare for the coming drought, by focusing on damage repair, and organic compound synthesis and storage rather than on growth. These low growth rates contribute to the sluggish recovery of desert biocrusts following major disturbances such as mining. Therefore, our findings highlight the need for implementing active restoration practices following mining. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aim: To advance our understanding of the mechanisms that mediate the relationships between global climatic and anthropogenic processes and pathogen occurrence, it is crucial to evaluate the exact pathways connecting the ecological mediators and the pathogen responses across spatial and temporal heterogeneities at various scales. We investigated the pathways connecting these two types of heterogeneities in sand stabilization that were created by contrasting forces of various human activities and long‐term droughts, and pathogen occurrence in host populations. The considered candidate ecological mediators were various components of host community structure, arthropod vector traits, and the pathogen occurrence in these vectors. Location: North‐western Negev Desert's sands in Israel. Time period: 1982–2018. Major taxa studied: Gerbillus andersoni, Gerbillus floweri, Gerbillus gerbillus, Mycoplasma, Bartonella, Synosternus cleopatrae. Methods: We combined information from satellite images, 36 years of rodent censuses, a natural experiment, and causal modelling. Results: We found evidence that the spatial heterogeneity in sand biocrusts is largely correlated with structural differences between host communities, especially at medium spatial scales. Pathogen sampling, followed by causal modelling, suggested that the cascading effect of sand stabilization on pathogen occurrence is mainly mediated through changes in host community structure and vector burdens. Importantly, we found that structural changes in the same host community can simultaneously amplify and dilute different pathogens. Main conclusions: These findings suggest that global processes can translate into local processes, where the importance of the mediation effects depend on the magnitude of environmental heterogeneity. These mediation effects can benefit some organisms while adversely affecting others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

GrassPlot is a collaborative vegetation-plot database organised by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and listed in the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD ID EU-00-003). GrassPlot collects plot records (releves) from grasslands and other open habitats of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm. It focuses on precisely delimited plots of eight standard grain sizes (0.0001; 0.001;... 1,000 m(2)) and on nested-plot series with at least four different grain sizes. The usage of GrassPlot is regulated through Bylaws that intend to balance the interests of data contributors and data users. The current version (v. 1.00) contains data for approximately 170,000 plots of different sizes and 2,800 nested-plot series. The key components are richness data and metadata. However, most included datasets also encompass compositional data. About 14,000 plots have near-complete records of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in addition to vascular plants. At present, GrassPlot contains data from 36 countries throughout the Palaearctic, spread across elevational gradients and major grassland types. GrassPlot with its multi-scale and multi-taxon focus complements the larger international vegetationplot databases, such as the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the global database " sPlot". Its main aim is to facilitate studies on the scale-and taxon-dependency of biodiversity patterns and drivers along macroecological gradients. GrassPlot is a dynamic database and will expand through new data collection coordinated by the elected Governing Board. We invite researchers with suitable data to join GrassPlot. Researchers with project ideas addressable with GrassPlot data are welcome to submit proposals to the Governing Board.

GrassPlot with its multi-scale and multi-taxon focus complements the larger international vegetationplot databases, such as the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the global database "sPlot". Its main aim is to facilitate studies on the scale- and taxon-dependency of biodiversity patterns and drivers along macroecological gradients. GrassPlot is a dynamic database and will expand through new data collection coordinated by the elected Governing Board. We invite researchers with suitable data to join GrassPlot. Researchers with project ideas addressable with GrassPlot data are welcome to submit proposals to the Governing Board.
