Ungulate impacts on herbaceous‐layer plant communities in even‐aged and uneven‐aged managed forests
Forest management and ungulate herbivory are extant drivers of herbaceous‐layer community composition and diversity. We conducted a white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) exclosure experiment across a managed landscape to determine how deer impacts ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Wildfire and invasive species interact in a south‐eastern Australian grassy woodland, with the soil seedbank introducing predominantly non‐native species into the extant vegetation after fire. This influx can temporarily increase ecosystem flammability and promote a grass–fire cycle.

Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

The peculiarity of hydrophytes and helophytes diaspors distribution in dependent of synanthropic problem [PDF]
The article gives principal means of generative diaspores of hydrophytes and helophytes distribution: hydrochory, anemochory, epizoochory, etc. It was determined, that for most species of ponds and bogs flora inherent several means of distribution ...

Changing management from light sheep grazing to light cattle grazing restored vegetation at a calcareous upland site. There was an increase in species richness, calcareous grassland indicators and bryophyte cover and a decrease in grass cover. There was, however, also a decrease in vegetation height.

Methods for studying of free-living herbivores zoochory [PDF]
Epizoochory as well as endozoochory are well known dispersal mechanisms. This topic is being studied more and more often lately but our knowledge is still incomplete.

Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...
