New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Effects of mepiquat chloride on yield and main properties of cottonseed under different plant densities

Journal of Cotton Research, 2019
Background Cottonseed oil and protein content as well as germination traits are major indicators of seed quality. However, the responses of these indicators to plant density and mepiquat chloride (MC) are still uncertain. To investigate plant density and

Starving for oxygen: the effect of hypoxia on seed germination and secondary dormancy induction in Mediterranean temporary ponds plant species. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
This study examined the germination adaptations to hypoxia of species along a plant zonation in Mediterranean temporary ponds, highlighting the key traits that support their survival and regeneration. Abstract Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs) are dynamic habitats where low levels of dissolved oxygen can significantly impact plant life.

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate.

Divergent shifts in hydraulic versus carbon acquisition functional traits after wildfire in four Rocky Mountain tree species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought and large wildfire events across western North America. Despite the increasing concurrence of drought and wildfire events and the importance of forests as a global carbon sink, the impacts of fire on ...

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes [PDF]

, 2010
Ever since the first descriptions of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria by Winogradsky in the late 1800s, the metabolic capability of aerobic ammonia oxidation has been restricted to a phylogenetically narrow group of bacteria.

Ecophysiology of an Avian Invader: Body Condition and Metabolic Rate Adjustments to Ambient Temperature

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Effect of Temperature and Light on Ex Situ Germination of Flemingia faginea (Guill. & Perr.) Baker Seeds in Burkina Faso

International Journal of Forestry Research
Flemingia faginea is a woody species whose various parts are widely used in traditional medicine. However, this species, which typically grows along waterways, is becoming increasingly rare due to poor seed germination in the wild, possibly resulting ...
