Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

The Vegetation of S'Ena Arrubia lagoon (centre-western Sardinia) [PDF]
This study describes the vegetation of S'Ena Arrubia lagoon, in the Gulf of Oristano, in the centre-western coast of Sardinia. This lagoon is classified as: Special Protection Zone (S.P.Z.) according to EEC Directive 79/409, community importance site ...

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

Using the most complete summary of 20 years of riparian plant water use studies in North American drylands to date, we examine broad patterns of plant water use by vegetation type and across climate gradients. Marshes, cottonwood‐willow stands and tamarisk use larger amounts of water than other communities, and all communities have higher water use in ...

Vegetation-soil relations in a highly sodic landscape, Yelarbon, southern Queensland [PDF]
Soil and vegetation data were collected from a sodic-scald near Yelarbon in southern Queensland. The surface of the landscape includes relatively light textured pedestals of the A-horizon with slightly alkaline pH and slopes leading down to scalded ...

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

Vegetation development in sown field margins and on adjacent ditch banks [PDF]
The creation of temporal and newly sown field margins for 6 years is a common agri-environment scheme (AES) in the Netherlands. Conservation profits resulting from AES vary over different areas and need further studying.

This study evaluated whether artificial shelters can mimic the microclimatic benefits of foundation shrubs to support vertebrate biodiversity in dryland ecosystems facing desertification. Surveys conducted at Californian desert sites (2022–2023) showed that artificial shelters increased vertebrate abundance and richness, performing comparably to native

In this work, we partially sequenced genomes of two Atriplex species (A. deserticola Phil. and A. atacamensis Phil.), using Illumina technology (Hiseq 2500 paired-end system) and de novo assembly strategy. Raw data of A. deserticola and A.
