Variation of seedling recruitment in wet meadow species over 6 years: Positive effects of mowing and negative effects of fertilization

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1693-1704, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Germination and seedling recruitment are stages of the plant life cycle, which are highly sensitive to biotic and abiotic filtering. Simultaneously, seedling regeneration is considered crucial for biodiversity maintenance in grasslands and is strongly affected by ...

The genus Carex (Cyperaceae) in Chile: a general update of its knowledge, with an identification key

open access: yesGayana: Botanica, 2023
The knowledge of the genus Carex L. (Cyperaceae) in South America is scattered, without recent comprehensive treatments for any country. Within the continent, Chile is the country that harbors the most diversity, being the second in species richness and ...

Understanding Long‐Term Abundance Shifts in European Alpine Plants Through the Lenses of Functional Seed Trait Ecology

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the resilience and adaptability of alpine flora under climate change is crucial for biodiversity conservation. While functional traits are key to predicting alpine plants' responses to climate change, the role of regeneration traits remains underexplored.

Phylogenomic Evidence of Fire Regime Changes: The Case of a Resprouting Juniper

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
We propose that fire‐adaptive traits, such as lignotuber resprouting, can serve as proxies to estimate fire regime shifts. We estimated the origin of lignotuber resprouting in the Iberian Juniperus oxycedrus complex. By doing so, we provide new insights into the assembly of the Mediterranean biome.

Large Genomes Are Associated With Greater Cell Size and Ecological Shift Towards More Nitrogen‐Rich and Higher‐Latitude Environments in Microalgae of the Genus Synura

open access: yesJournal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT The nuclear genome is essential for encoding most of the genes required for cellular processes, but its size alone can alter the characteristics of cells and organisms. Yet, genome size variation and its ecological and evolutionary impacts, particularly in microorganisms, are not well understood.

Atmospheric N Deposition as a Key Driver of Soil Nitrate Production and Accumulation in Temperate Forests Under Semi‐Arid Climate

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition affects soil nitrate (NO3– ${{\text{NO}}_{3}}^{\mbox{--}}$) dynamics in forests, yet mechanisms driving NO3– ${{\text{NO}}_{3}}^{\mbox{--}}$ accumulation in semi‐arid regions remain unclear. Here, we quantified atmospheric and microbial contributions to soil NO3– ${{\text{NO}}_{3}}^{\mbox{--}}$ by analyzing ...

Community changes in a restored tussock sedge wetland over 15 years: Expansion and competition

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Vegetation restoration is one of the most effective means to reestablish wetlands. However, little is known about how plant communities expand and compete after wetland restoration because of the dearth of data from long-term monitoring.
