The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

Former land use affects the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and biomass of forest herbs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The colonization rates of understorey plants into forests growing on former agricultural land differ remarkably among species. Different dispersal and recruitment largely account for the contrasting colonization rates, but different effects of the soil ...

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity : a synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is it recognized threat to plant diversity ill temperate and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field experiments for N deposition effects and thresholds for terrestrial plant

Effect of Chemical Composition on Thermal Decomposition Behavior of Herbaceous Plants for Production of Plant-based Biochar for Storing Carbon in Soils

open access: yesBioResources, 2023
In order to use plant biomass as biochar for storing carbon in soils, the relationship between the chemical composition of plants and biochar yield obtained by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was studied.

Modern Pollen–Plant Diversity Relationships Inform Palaeoecological Reconstructions of Functional and Phylogenetic Diversity in Calcareous Fens

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Predicting the trajectory of ongoing diversity loss requires knowledge of historical development of community assemblages. Long-term data from palaeoecological investigations combined with key biodiversity measures in ecology such as taxonomic richness ...

Scale effects on spatial heterogeneity of herbaceous vegetation in desert steppe depend on plant community type

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Spatial heterogeneity plays a crucial role in affecting the ecologial processes in natural ecosystems, yet how spatial heterogeneity of herbaceous vegetation in desert-grassland transitional zone varies with increased spatial scale are still poorly known.

Spatial Patterns and Drivers of Angiosperm Sexual Systems in China Differ Between Woody and Herbaceous Species

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Impact of natural factors on population changes of herbaceous plants species and assessment of their state in present high-mountain conditions of the Ukrainian Carpathians

open access: yesБіологічні студії, 2021
Background. Natural ecosystems of the Ukrainian Carpathians have been signi­ficantly transformed during the last few years due to the impact of climate factors and an increased activity of nature restoration processes.
