Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems
Oikos, EarlyView.Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony
Oikos, EarlyView.The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Herbaceous flora of village Chocznia (southern Poland) with particular focus on medicinal plants
Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2016 W Polsce większość roślin leczniczych nadal pozyskuje się z naturalnych siedlisk. Jednak w niektórych regionach, zwłaszcza w okolicach dużych miast, antropogeniczne oddziaływania i zanieczyszczenia powodują, że zbiory tych roślin są niemożliwe.

Oikos, EarlyView.Plant traits and their tradeoffs are major determinants of plant functions. Although trait‐based frameworks should apply to plant functioning at any life stage, they have been primarily established for adult plants. Therefore, we lack comprehensive trait‐based studies of seedlings across multiple species to prove which key dimensions of trait variation
