Factors affecting the site of investment, and the reliance on savings for arctic breeders : the capital–income dichotomy revisited (2006, background): “2001) and grub in anaerobic sediment rich in sulphur and microbial products (Handa et al. 2002), all of which are requirements for successful egg production.”
High white-tailed deer densities benefit graminoids and contribute to biotic homogenization of forest ground-layer vegetation (2009, background): “While grazing lawns are sustainable and maintained by a positive feedback between grazers and increased plant production, these systems are still susceptible to overgrazing and subsequent declines in productivity if off-take increases beyond some critical threshold (Handa et al. 2002).”
A biotic agent promotes large‐scale catastrophic change in the coastal marshes of Hudson Bay (2006, background): “However, if erosion of the thin veneer of organic matter occurs, then underlying saline clays and glacial gravels are exposed and different plant communities establish on these soils compared with those characteristic of peaty soils (Handa et al. 2002).”
Direct experimental evidence for alternative stable states: a review (2005, background): “Such positive density dependence is probably the cause behind the bistability of arctic salt marshes subjected to heavy grazing by geese (Srivastava and Jefferies 1996, Handa et al. 2002).”
Setting Effective and Realistic Restoration Goals: Key Directions for Research (2007, unknown): “1; Handa et al. 2002; Lindig-Cisneros et al. 2003; Prober et al. 2002).”
Spatial correlation as leading indicator of catastrophic shifts (2010, background): “2007), for terrestrial communities (Handa et al. 2002; Schmitz et al. 2006), and for semi-arid ecosystems (Rietkerk et al.”
Long-term decline in white-tailed deer browse supply: can lichens and litterfall act as alternative food sources that preclude density-dependent feedbacks (2005, unknown): “…shift from salt marsh to mud flat has occurred in the arctic breeding grounds of the lesser snow goose (Chen caerulescens caerulescens (L., 1758)) because of food subsidies and the spatial uncoupling of agricultural crops that contribute to sustaining a large goose population (Handa et al. 2002).”
