Influence of the intertropical convergence zone on early cretaceous plant distribution in the South Atlantic [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the emerging South Atlantic region during the late Aptian (Early Cretaceous) is reflected in the spatio-temporal distribution of plant communities recorded in eight Brazilian sedimentary ...

Associations of soil bacterial diversity and function with plant diversity in Carex tussock wetland [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Some species of Carex can form tussocks, which are usually distributed in valleys and flood plains. The soil microbial community diversity and function of micro–habitats formed by tussocks are associated with plant diversity, and research on these ...

Botanical memory: five centuries of floristic changes revealed by a Renaissance herbarium (Ulisse Aldrovandi, 1551–1586) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 We analysed the spatially explicit floristic information available in the herbarium of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1551–1586) to track floristic changes in the surroundings of Bologna across five centuries.

Latitudinal trends in the structure, similarity and beta diversity of plant communities invaded by Alternanthera philoxeroides in heterogeneous habitats [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Variations in latitudinal gradients could lead to changes in the performance and ecological effects of invasive plants and thus may affect the species composition, distribution and interspecific substitution of native plant communities.

Community assembly and functional leaf traits mediate precipitation use efficiency of alpine grasslands along environmental gradients on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau are sensitive and vulnerable to climate change. However, it is still unknown how precipitation use efficiency (PUE), the ratio of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) to precipitation, is related to ...

Anti‐seasonal flooding drives substantial alterations in riparian plant diversity and niche characteristics in a unique hydro‐fluctuation zone [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionHuman‐induced disturbances such as dam construction and regulation have led to widespread alterations in hydrological processes and thus substantially influence plant characteristics in the hydro‐fluctuation zones (HFZs). To reveal utilization of limited

Floral response to the Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE; ca. 234–232 Ma) was characterized by dramatic global temperature and humidity increases, which in many terrestrial settings was accompanied by changes from arid to humid vegetation types. This study reviews
