Soil seed bank dynamics in Mediterranean urban vegetation fragments [PDF]

, 2012
Conservation of biodiversity in urban vegetation fragments is of increasingly high importance with growing urbanisation globally, particularly so in the biodiversity hotspot of the Mediterranean southwest of Western Australia.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

Adaptive grazing enhances plant species richness and density in the soil seed bank in a semi-arid grassland

Ecological Indicators
The soil seed bank plays a key role in vegetation resilience under environmental disturbances, and is especially important for the restoration of degraded vegetation.

Species composition of community invaded by Spermacoce latifolia Aubl. and seasonal dynamics of its soil seed bank

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2009
The community characteristics and the seasonal dynamics of the soil seed bank in a community invaded by Spermacoce latifolia Aubl. were studied by using community investigations and seed germination experiments. The results show that:1) S.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
