Prioritizing Wild Edible Plants for potential new crops based on Deciduous Forest traditional knowledge by a Rancher community

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2017
Background. There are several ethnobotanical indices to evaluate the importance of wild edible plants; however, they are biased and it is unclear their contribution for the selection of priority species for developing new crops.

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

The estimation of aboveground biomass and nutrient pools of understorey plants in closed Norway spruce forests and on clearcuts [PDF]

, 2010
The estimation model PhytoCalc allows a non-destructive quantification of dry weight and nutrient pools of understorey plants in forests by using the relationship between species biomass, cover and mean shoot length.

Rainfall seasonality and drought performance shape the distribution of tropical tree species in Ghana

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Tree species distribution in lowland tropical forests is strongly associated with rainfall amount and distribution. Not only plant water availability, but also irradiance, soil fertility, and pest pressure covary along rainfall gradients.
