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.

This study investigates heterospecific pollen (HP) effects in Sagittaria trifolia, an apocarpous plant with an extragynoecial compitum. HP–pistil compatibility and resulting seed set reduction were greatest from phylogenetically close donors, not influenced by origin or pollen traits.

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.

Four rural cemeteries in central western NSW: Islands of Australiana in a European sea? [PDF]
Vascular plants present in groundstoreys of variously–managed areas in four cemeteries in central western NSW – two on the Central Western Slopes (Garra and Toogong) and two on the Central Tablelands (Lyndhurst and Carcoar) – were recorded over periods ...

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 ...
