Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Legume cover under Camellia oleifera forests enhances understory biomass carbon storage and soil CO2 flux but declines soil inorganic carbon storage on a karst steep slope

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionLegume cover is a widely used and useful soil management strategy in orchards across the world. However, it remains unclear how the alfalfa cover affects vegetation and soil carbon storage, soil greenhouse gas fluxes, and global warming ...

Soil Seed Bank of Two Karst Ecosystems in Bogor, Indonesia: Similarity with the Aboveground Vegeta-tion and Its Restoration Potential

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2017
Karst ecosystem in Bogor is currently threatened by mining activities. Restoration of the disturbed karst areas is urgently required. Seed banks are considered as an important potential seed sources for restoration.

Arctic rooting depth distribution influences modelled carbon emissions but cannot be inferred from aboveground vegetation type

, 2023
The distribution of roots throughout the soil drives depth-dependent plant–soil interactions and ecosystem processes, particularly in arctic tundra where plant biomass, is predominantly belowground.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Mapping and monitoring of vegetation using airborne laser scanning [PDF]

, 2014
In this thesis, the utility of airborne laser scanning (ALS) for monitoring vegetation of relevance for the environmental sector was investigated. The vegetation characteristics studied include measurements of biomass, biomass change and vegetation ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

The role of vegetation science in the conservation of cultural landscapes [PDF]

, 2023
Cultural landscapes are defined as the results of the combined action of nature and humans on the territory. Millennia of human presence on most of the Earth resulted in the current existence of many different cultural landscapes, shaped by different ...

Connecting dynamic vegetation models to data - an inverse perspective

, 2012
Dynamic vegetation models provide process-based explanations of the dynamics and the distribution of plant ecosystems. They offer significant advantages over static, correlative modelling approaches, particularly for ecosystems that are outside their ...

The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...
