The Influence of Island Area on Ecosystem Properties
Abstract
Island area is frequently a major determinant of the species composition of biological communities; community structure, in turn, often has important effects on ecosystem-level properties. Fifty islands of varying area were selected in an archipelago in the northern Swedish boreal forest zone, in which larger islands burn more frequently than smaller ones through wildfire arising from lightning strike, thus inducing a significant relationship between island area and plant species composition. This relationship was found to be a major factor in determining several ecosystem-level properties of these islands, including standing biomass, plant litter decomposition, nitrogen mineralization, terrestrial carbon partitioning, humus accumulation, and plant nitrogen acquisition.

“Small populations of humans can significantly increase the ignition density if these populations are highly mobile or inhabit landscapes where background fire activity is low, such as on islands where the target area for lightning is small (Wardle et al., 1997).”

- The trees on each island were searched for fire scars to determine how many fires had occurred on that island in the past 250 years; the time elapsed since each fire was determined by counting tree rings [O. Zackrisson Oikos 29 22 (1977)]. For five islands in each of the three area classes (<0.1 ha 0.1 to 1.0 ha and >1.0 ha) charcoal particles in the uppermost charcoal layer in the humus profile were sampled and the time since the last fire was determined by 14 C analyses of these particles at the Tandemlaboratory Uppsala Sweden [I. U. Olsson in Handbook of Palaeoecology and Palaeo-Hydrology B. E. Berglund Ed. (Wiley London 1986) pp. 272–310; S. Bouwman Radiocarbon Dating (British Museum Publications London 1990)]. We emphasize that the age of the charcoal we measured is not necessarily the same as the time of the most recent fire because charcoal from fires with low intensity is sometimes undetectable in humus profiles; fire-scar data on the largest islands indicated occurrence of fires that were obviously more recent than the uppermost charcoal we found.

- Nearly all studies that have claimed to identify positive effects of species diversity on ecosystem function involve relatively short-term experiments in which species richness of live plants has been manipulated. However most plant productivity eventually enters the decomposer subsystem as litter where it has important long-term "afterlife effects" [S. Findlay M. Carreiro V. Krischic C. J. Jones Ecol. Appl. 6 269 (1996)]. Those studies that have explicitly investigated effects of species diversity of litter or of organisms associated with litter breakdown on ecosystem processes have failed to find simple cause-effect relationships [O.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
