Source-Sink Dynamics in Field-Grown Durum Wheat Under Contrasting Nitrogen Supplies: Key Role of Non-Foliar Organs During Grain Filling

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The integration of high-throughput phenotyping and metabolic approaches is a suitable strategy to study the genotype-by-environment interaction and identify novel traits for crop improvement from canopy to an organ level.

Relationships between plant species richness and grazing intensity in a semiarid ecosystem

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Wild ungulates and shrub control interact to restore herbaceous vegetation in shrub-encroached mesic grassland of South Africa

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Shrub encroachment threatens grassland ecosystem services including herbaceous plant diversity, productivity, and overall grazing capacity. Hence, various shrub control methods including mechanical removal and herbicides are applied to restore herbaceous

Phytosociology and biodiversity of roadside herbs in a salinity-affected coastal area of Bangladesh

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Soil salinity in the coastal areas of Bangladesh has been rising. The responses of forest communities to the rise of salinity are somehow documented.

Herbaceous vegetation communities around lake Manyara, Tanzania: response to environmental gradients

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
Healthy populations of wildlife require quality forage sufficiently available in both space and time. The herbaceous vegetation around rift valley lakes in Tanzania varies along productivity, disturbance and stress gradients.

Can grazing by elk and bison stimulate herbaceous plant productivity in semiarid ecosystems?

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Plant communities in rangeland ecosystems vary widely in the degree to which they can compensate for losses to herbivores. Ecosystem‐level factors have been proposed to affect this compensatory capacity, including timing and intensity of grazing, and ...

Multielemental Stoichiometry in Plant Organs: A Case Study With the Alpine Herb Gentiana rigescens Across Southwest China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Multiple elements are required to be allocated to different organs to meet the demands for plant growth, reproduction, and maintenance. However, our knowledge remains limited on the stoichiometry in all plant organs in response to heterogeneous ...

Botanical Knowledge and its Differentiation by Age, Gender and Ethnicity in Southwestern Niger [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Indigenous knowledge is unevenly distributed. Individual knowledge level may be affected by many factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, profession, religious and cultural beliefs, abundance and usefulness of the species.

Higher-order interactions mitigate direct negative effects on population dynamics of herbaceous plants during succession

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Plant succession is regulated by a combination of abiotic and biotic factors. However, previous studies of biotic drivers have focused overwhelmingly on direct pairwise species interactions, ignoring the likely prevalent higher-order interactions (HOIs ...

Living Close to Your Neighbors: The Importance of Both Competition and Facilitation in Plant Communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent work has demonstrated that competition and facilitation likely operate jointly in plant communities, but teasing out the relative role of each has proven difficult.
