Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species
Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.

Sedum plumbizincicola is a zinc‐cadmium hyperaccumulator native to China with high potential for use in phytoremediation. Synchrotron micro‐X‐ray fluorescence elemental imaging shows that zinc is localized in the leaf tips, petioles, and nodes with the highest Zn concentrations observed in the epidermis and vascular system of both leaves and stems ...

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Ecological Strategies for Legume Production on Extensive Green Roofs Under Heat and Nutrient Stress
ABSTRACT Urban agriculture on extensive green roofs presents opportunities for sustainable food production but is challenged by shallow substrates, nutrient limitations and heat stress. Ecological strategies such as companion planting and organic amendments may help alleviate these constraints, yet their effectiveness across plant life stages remains ...
