Context
Socio-ecological landscapes typically characterized by non-linear dynamics in space and time are difficult to be analyzed using standard quantitative methods, due to multiple processes interacting on different spatial and temporal scales. This poses a challenge to the identification of appropriate approaches for analyzing time series that can evaluate system properties of landscape dynamics in the face of disturbances, such as uncontrolled fires.Objective
The purpose is the application of non-linear methods such as recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to landscape ecology. The examples concern the time series of burnt and unburnt Mediterranean rangelands, to highlight potential and limits of RQA.Methods
We used RQA together with joint recurrence analysis (JRA) to compare the evolutionary behavior of different land uses.Results
Time series of forests and grasslands in rangelands present both periodic and chaotic components with a rather similar behavior after the fire and clear transitions from less to more regular/predictable dynamics/succession. Results highlight the impacts of fire, the recovery capacity of land covers to pre-burnt levels, and the decay of synchronization towards the previous regime associated with vegetation secondary succession consistent with early successional species.Conclusions
RQA and JRA with their set of indices (recurrence rate: RR, laminarity: LAM, determinism: DET, and divergence: DIV) can represent new sensitive measures that may monitor the adaptive capacity and the resilience of landscapes. However, future applications are needed to standardize the analysis by strengthening the accuracy of this approach in describing the ongoing transformations of natural and man-managed landscapes.2.

Estuaries are among the most important habitats of coastal areas. However, they are significantly affected by human activities worldwide, threatening their resources and the commercial uses depending on them. Fisheries and aquaculture are some of the main factors affecting the estuarine ecosystems today. In this work, we pursue the aims of genetically identifying the cultured and harvested oyster and razor clam species inhabiting Asturian estuaries (Eo, Ribadesella and Villaviciosa) and describing the genetic diversity and patterns of genetic connectivity between those species in these estuaries. The results revealed the almost complete dominance of the introduced Crassostrea gigas as the species that supports the oyster's production in Asturias with a striking diversity of gene pools in wild environments (Ría de Villaviciosa and Ribadesella) which significantly exceeds the diversity found in the hatcheries seeds commonly used for culturing. Moreover, we detected two different species of Ensis sp. inhabiting the Asturian estuaries: Ensis ensis inside Ría del Eo and Ensis directus, an invasive species, in Ría de Villaviciosa. Significant genetic differentiation between estuaries for the exotic oyster C. gigas and also for the native razor clam Solen marginatus were found. These results suggest Asturian estuaries are not a single management unit for some species and thus prevention must be taken for avoiding intentional or human‐mediated translocations among them. Biodiversity monitoring for discovering newcomer invasive species, measures for environmental recovery of these ecosystems and strict controls to avoid increasing of harvesting pressures are also a necessity to improve the management of these relevant ecosystems. 相似文献
