International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The role of forest plantations in carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation is a topical issue among researchers and policymakers globally. This study compares understorey floristic diversity and carbon stock of a 15‐year‐old monoculture Tectona grandis plantation under intensive and poor management in a dry semideciduous ecological zone of ...

Spatial context allows the evolution of the control of nitrification by plants
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3478-3490, November 2025.Using a theoretical approach, we show that assuming that the effects of the control of nitrification are spatially restricted to the rhizosphere, the control of nitrification is likely to be selected in perennial plants and ecosystems in which nitrate losses are greater than ammonium losses. The selected strategy optimizes biomass production.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Causes, consequences, and potentials for recovery from invasions by the invasive annual grass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), in western North America have been extensively documented. The vast majority of these studies have come from regions where yearly precipitation is dominated by “winter‐wet” patterns, but this species has also ...

Journal of Botany, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 West African Savanna ecosystems are undergoing severe changes in their vegetation composition due to the impact of human land use and changes in climatic conditions. This study aims to examine the effect of climate, land use, and their interaction on species richness and composition of West African herbaceous vegetation.

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract Plant invasions drive biodiversity loss, transform ecosystems, and promote positive‐feedback cycles between invasion and fire. However, the long‐term impacts of invasive grasses across landscapes with diverse plant communities and interactions with fire are poorly known.

Review of the Genus Andropogon (Poaceae: Andropogoneae) in America Based on Cytogenetic Studies
Journal of Botany, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Andropogon is a pantropical grass genus comprising 100–120 species and found mainly in the grasslands of Africa and the Americas. In the new world the genus is represented by approximately sixty (diploids or hexaploids) species grouped in three sections.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 88, Issue 5, July 2024.Current grassland restoration strategies aim to recreate grassland vegetation communities, and often rely on high‐diversity native seeding to promote vegetation diversity. We studied small mammal communities on 24 mixed‐grassland sites in North Dakota and South Dakota, USA that represented three vegetation cover types: unseeded native reference prairie,

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 4-17, January 2024.In the Eastern Ghats' savannas, fire suppression combined with Cymbopogon grass removal boosts palatable plant richness, supporting biodiversity, and local livelihoods with livestock in open ecosystems. Collaboration proves key for effective ecosystem management.
