Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.

Cumulative effects of an herbivorous ecosystem engineer in a heterogeneous landscape
Foraging by herbivores alters individual plants and vegetation communities directly, and engineering behaviors such as bioturbation (digging and turning soil) and biodeposition (deposition of feces and urine) can affect soils and physical properties that

The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage‐grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus).

This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Propagation of Artemisia arborescens L. by stem-cutting: adventitious root formation under different conditions [PDF]
Artemisia arborescens L. has gained a strong importance worldwide due to its many industrial uses and it has been recently considered as ornamental plant. A major constraint to its widespread cultivation is represented, by far, by the scarce availability

Understanding Tradeoffs Between Food and Predation Risks in a Specialist Mammalian Herbivore [PDF]
Understanding habitat use by animals requires understanding the simultaneous tradeoffs between food and predation risk within a landscape. Quantifying the synergy between patches that provide quality food and those that are safe from predators at a scale

ABSTRACT Aim Population ecologists often focus on changes in the distribution and abundance of wildlife species, which are useful for trend analyses and status assessments. However, rarely are these responses evaluated simultaneously for a single species, despite their unique contributions to fully assess a species' viability.

Una nueva asociación de matorral gipsófilo para el Sur de España (Provincia Bética) [PDF]
El estudio de los matorrales gípsicos en el sur de España, revela la presencia de una comunidad diferente del resto de asociaciones descritas hasta el momento dentro de la alianza Lepidion subulati, al existir diferencias florísticas, ecológicas y ...

Spatial patterning of Wyoming big sagebrush indicates negative density dependence
Plants reflect resource use in their spatial patterning. Competition for limited resources—such as available soil water in a dryland ecosystem—drives establishment, growth, and mortality, resulting in shifts of spatial arrangement over time.
