Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3372-3384, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Endogenous rhythmic growth and ectomycorrhizal fungi modulate priming of antiherbivore defences in subsequently formed new leaves of oak trees

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1382-1396, June 2025.
A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Simplification of woody plant trait networks among communities along a climatic aridity gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 4, Page 896-912, April 2025.
Hypothesized associations of plant trait network parameters with climatic aridity and ecosystem structure and with trait coefficients of variation across six plant communities of the California Floristic Province. (a) Across this gradient, the climatic aridity increased from the mixed conifer‐broadleaf forest site to the desert site.

Evaluating endophyte‐rich leaves and leaf functional traits for protection of tropical trees against natural enemies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Herbarium and field studies of nickel hyperaccumulator plants from ultramafic soils in Guatemala

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 838-851, November 2024.
A survey of herbarium specimens from ultramafic (serpentine) soils in Guatemala, using x‐ray fluorescence analysis, has revealed hyperaccumulation of nickel in several species, not previously known to accumulate metals. The figure shows the geographic distribution of Ni‐hyperaccumulating plants in Arachnothryx linguiformis (Rubiaceae), and the ...

Influence of cultivar on flower and leaf analyses for predicting the mid-season mineral status of peach

Revista Biológico Agropecuaria Tuxpan
El análisis mineral foliar se utiliza para determinar el estado nutricional de las plantas en muchos cultivos, pero en cultivos de árboles, como el durazno (Prunus pérsica L.), tiene un valor limitado para determinar la fertilización correctiva durante ...
