Organisms from higher tropical levels (e.g., herbivores) can mediate indirect competitive interactions between two target plant species, but such apparent competition may also be mediated by a third plant species and thus may vary depending on the size ...

Contamination of soils by microplastics can have profound ecological impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and has received increasing attention. However, few studies have considered the impacts of soil microplastics on plant communities and none has tested ...

Soil heterogeneity and earthworms independently promote growth of two bamboo species
Soils are commonly spatially heterogeneous and earthworms are widely distributed in terrestrial ecosystems. While both soil heterogeneity and earthworms can influence the performance of plants, whether they can interact to affect the growth of bamboo ...

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) may vary among genotypes within the same species and may also be predicted by plant functional traits. So far, however, it is still unclear whether PSFs can be correlated with plant functional traits across genotypes of the ...

Co-contamination by heavy metal and organic pollutant may negatively influence plant performance, and increasing the number of genotypes for a plant population may reduce this negative effect.

The spatially heterogeneous distribution of soil nutrients is ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems and has been shown to promote the performance of plant communities, influence species coexistence, and alter ecosystem nutrient dynamics.

Parental (environmental) effects can modify the growth of offspring, which may play an essential role in their adaptation to environmental variation. While numerous studies have tested parental effects on offspring growth, most have considered offspring ...

In Dystopian Retrospect of a Crisis Mood: My Life as a Spy by Katherine Verdery [PDF]
My essay bears a deliberately oxymoronic title as it offers, on the one hand, a reminiscence of 1984, as a most depressing year in the actual history of Romania and likewise in my own earliest career memories.

Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants
Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We
