Evaluation of Soil Seed Banks in Different Aged Caragana microphylla Plantation in Desert Steppe Ecosystems [PDF]
Soil seed bank (SSB) represents potential plant communities, which is essential in the restoration of degraded ecosystems. Consequently, SSB is crucial in the reconstruction and recovery of aboveground plants because they largely determine the process ...

Phenotypic plasticity of early and late successional forbs in response to shifts in resources. [PDF]
We compared the phenotypic plasticity of two early successional forbs of nutrient-poor mobile dunes (Agriophyllum squarrosum and Corispermum macrocarpum) and two later successional forbs (weeds) of stabilized, higher nutrient dunes and cropland ...

Sand dune stabilization changes the vegetation characteristics and soil seed bank and their correlations with environmental factors [PDF]
Currently the amount of data available on the effect of sand dune stabilization on species conservation in inter-dune lowland is very limited, especially for the sand dune systems in semi-arid regions.

An updated phylogeny and adaptive evolution within Amaranthaceae s.l. inferred from multiple phylogenomic datasets. [PDF]
Our results strongly demonstrated that Amaranthaceae s.l. was clustered with monophyletic traditional Chenopodiaceae (Clades I and II) and Amaranthaceae s.s. based on multiple phylogenomic datasets. Phylogenetic analysis of adaptive evolution showed that positively selected genes played a driving role in the evolutionary direction of Amaranthaceae s.l.
