Chilean vegetation in the context of the Braun-Blanquet approach and a comparison with EcoVeg formations [PDF]
Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS), 2022 Aims: The Braun-Blanquet approach has been widely implemented to generate classification schemes at the country level and Chile is not an exception. In spite of numerous studies, a revised system for the whole country is still missing and most of the ...

Study on Syntaxonomic Diversity of Algal Cenoses in Soils of the Russian Far East, Using an Integrative Taxonomic Approach [PDF]
PlantsSoil is a unique ecosystem with peculiar biodiversity that includes cyanobacteria and algae. Traditionally, cyanobacterial and algal cenoses were described mainly using the dominance approach, rarely based on the Braun-Blanquet method (floristic ...

Plant-Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Intra- and Inter-Specific Ecological Impacts Vary Across a Gradient of Abundance of an Invasive Species, <i>Bothriochloa ischaemum</i>, in a Mixed-Grass Prairie. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe invasive grass Bothriochloa ischaemum negatively impacts native plant communities along an invasion gradient, reducing native grass abundance, plant species richness, and altering functional traits and overall community structure. Most intra‐ and inter‐specific effects increase with greater invader abundance.
