Impact of Forest Management on the Temporal Dynamics of Herbaceous Plant Diversity in the Carpathian Beech Forests over 40 Years [PDF]
Biology, 2021 In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the complex dependence of herbaceous plant diversity on forest structure and management. However, among the studies presented so far, those in which the chronosequence (approach based on the ...

Context-Dependency in Relationships Between Herbaceous Plant Leaf Traits and Abiotic Factors [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Leaf traits are important indicators of plants’ adaptive strategy to environmental changes. It is an established fact that leaf traits are jointly regulated by climatic and edaphic factors besides genetic factors.

Spatial Patterns and Drivers of Angiosperm Sexual Systems in China Differ Between Woody and Herbaceous Species [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plant sexual systems play an important role in the evolution of angiosperm diversity. However, large-scale patterns in the frequencies of sexual systems (i.e. dioecy, monoecy, and hermaphroditism) and their drivers for species with different growth forms

Grazing effects on woody and herbaceous plant biodiversity on a limestone mountain in northern Tunisia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Mediterranean maquis vegetation is highly biodiverse, but widespread grazing poses a challenge for management and conservation. We sampled woody and herbaceous plants separately on a limestone mountain with strong mesic-xeric gradients in Tunisia’s Parc ...

The sensitivity of herbaceous plants to light Pollution [PDF]
Acta Universitatis de Carolo Eszterházy Nominatae. Sectio Biologiae, 2021 Plants living near street lights in temperate zones are good examples of the effect of light pollution with a marked shift in leaf fall and bud breaking. Low intensity light (light pollution) is not sufficient for photosynthesis, but can cause changes in many physiological processes, moreover, it can have a disrupting effect on the plant and its ...

Relationships between plant species richness and grazing intensity in a semiarid ecosystem
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Plant species richness is an important property of ecosystems that is altered by grazing. In a semiarid environment, we tested the hypotheses that (1) small‐scale herbaceous plant species richness declines linearly with increasing grazing intensity by ...
