#EcologicalNetwork

Xian Wu et al. quantified the relative contributions of #KeystoneTaxa and #RareTaxa in a subtropical forest to soil microbial functions and their shared or unique responses to abiotic conditions.

Figure 1 in Merloti et al. (2025): "Ecological network analysis based on soil components. (A) shows the network from chronosequences of assisted restored forests on former pasture lands, (B) active restored forests on former sugarcane, and (C) late-stage restored forests compared to degraded and reference forests. In each network, the nodes represent the soil components, while blue edges indicate positive correlations and red edges indicate negative correlations."

How to revive a collapsed mutualistic #EcologicalNetwork? @gaurav_Kbaruah &co use signal propagation theory & eco-evo model based on 115 empirical plant-#pollinator networks to reveal that effort should be focused on one or a few key species #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3zLV0tU
