Successful recovery of native plants post-invasive removal in forest understories is driven by native community features. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Temperate forest understories hold the majority of the plant diversity present in these ecosystems and play an essential role in the recruitment and establishment of native trees. However, the long‐term persistence of diverse and functional forest understories is threatened by the impacts of invasive plants.

Seedling growth declines in warmed tropical forest soils
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 897-910, September 2023., 2023 The response of tropical forest plants to a warming climate could have a large feedback on further climatic change. To address this, we tested the response of six tree species seedlings to 3 years of in‐situ experimental soil warming. Our study demonstrates that belowground warming causes species‐specific declines in the growth and photosynthesis of ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1218-1230, June 2023., 2023 Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

Functional traits explain both seedling and adult plant spatial patterns in gypsum annual species
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 1170-1180, May 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological processes such as seed dispersal or plant–plant interactions and environmental constraints such as climate or soil heterogeneity are known to influence establishment, and thus the spatial patterns of plant communities and populations.

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 3175-3187, December 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Regenerating tropical forests are increasingly important for their role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon stocks in above‐ground biomass can recover to old‐growth forest levels within 60–100 years.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1259-1269, September 2022., 2022 We used artificial, plasticine prey to assess temporal (day‐ versus nighttime) and spatial (pubescent versus glabrous host plant) variation in predation in two Panamanian rainforests. We compared attacks on caterpillar‐ and humanoid‐shaped figurines to test whether model prey shape is as important for prey recognition by predators as often assumed.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 The cerrado's flora comprises aluminum-(Al) accumulating and non-accumulating plants, which coexist on acidic and Al-rich soils with low fertility. Despite their existence, the ecological importance or biological strategies of these functional groups ...
