Germination Ecophysiology [PDF]

, 2013
This chapter describes the ecophysiology of Orobanchaceae seeds, especially the weedy parasitic genera Striga, Orobanche and Phelipanche. Empirical models are introduced for predicting probabilities of seed survival, loss of primary dormancy both in dry storage and during seed conditioning, and germination itself.

Plasticity in plant hydraulic traits: An evaluation of a common‐taxa experiment across a climatic gradient in the Western U.S.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Due to climate change, plants are experiencing both prolonged drought events and increasingly variable water availability, prompting the need for better understanding of potential impacts on plant performance, as well as the identification of low‐water‐use plants.

Links between phenology and ecophysiology in a European beech forest

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
Over the course of a year, tree physiological processes are not only directly affected by environmental conditions, but also by the tree’s own phenological stages. At the same time, phenological stages should, to a certain degree, reflect tree physiology.

Right tree, right place, right reason: Using knowledge exchange and research co‐design to explore current challenges and opportunities for sustainable urban forest management

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The urban forest provides important environmental and health and well‐being benefits to people living in cities. However, sustainable management of urban trees is challenging as they face interrelated pressures from the urban environment, pests and diseases and climate change.

Ambient anthropogenic noise but not light is associated with the ecophysiology of free-living songbird nestlings

Scientific Reports, 2017
Urbanization is associated with dramatic increases in noise and light pollution, which affect animal behaviour, physiology and fitness. However, few studies have examined these stressors simultaneously. Moreover, effects of urbanization during early-life
