Arctic aquatic graminoid tundra responses to nutrient availability [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2020
Abstract. Unraveling the environmental controls influencing Arctic tundra productivity is paramount for advancing our predictive understanding of the causes and consequences of warming in tundra ecosystems and associated land–atmosphere feedbacks. This study focuses on aquatic emergent tundra plants, which dominate productivity and methane fluxes in ...

Fertilized graminoids intensify negative drought effects on grassland productivity

Global Change Biology, 2021
Abstract Droughts can strongly affect grassland productivity and biodiversity, but responses differ widely. Nutrient availability may be a critical factor explaining this variation, but is often ignored in analyses of drought responses.

Graminoid Invasion in an Insular Endemism Hotspot and Its Protected Areas [PDF]

Diversity, 2019
Invasive plant species are increasingly altering species composition and the functioning of ecosystems from a local to a global scale. The grass species Pennisetum setaceum has recently raised concerns as an invader on different archipelagos worldwide.

Distribution of graminoids in open habitats in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan

Vegetation Classification and Survey, 2022
Aims: Landscapes of Middle Asia are exposed to human influence due to long-lasting pastoral tradition, and now are largely dominated by non-forest vegetation. Graminoids perform key ecosystem functions, and constitute an important feed source for livestock.

Cascading effects of earthworm invasion increase graminoid density and rodent grazing intensities

Ecology, 2023
AbstractHuman‐mediated dispersal of non‐native earthworms can cause substantial changes to the functioning and composition of ecosystems previously earthworm‐free. Some of these earthworm species have the potential to “geoengineer” soils and increase plant nitrogen (N) uptake.

Endangered Oarisma poweshiek larvae vary their graminoid forage in Manitoba, Canada

The Canadian Entomologist, 2022
Abstract The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is endemic to the tall grass prairie in North America and is now critically endangered globally. Existing populations are scattered among tall grass prairie remnants. However, the host food plants eaten by Poweshiek skipperling larvae, the vegetative and microclimatic descriptions of immature ...

Spatial pattern of invasive and native graminoids in the Brazilian cerrado [PDF]

Plant Ecology, 2019
Invasive grasses are an important threat in tropical savannas and grasslands and may be affected by natural and anthropogenic features of the environment. They may affect native species at a variety of scales, but a spatially explicit assessment of their effects is lacking.
