Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

Oikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Leaf Area Index Models

, 2008
Leaf area index (LAI), the total one-sided green leaf area per unit of ground surface, is an important structural property of vegetation. Because leaf surfaces are the primary sites of energy and mass exchange, important processes such as canopy ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

The Effect of Different Sowing Dates and Plant Densities on Plant Development Periods in Pea Under Rainfed Conditions in Early Spring

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis
This study aimed to examine the effect of different sowing dates (5 March and 26 March) in early spring and plant densities (40, 60, 80, 100 seeds/m2) on plant growth and development under rainfed conditions in semiarid areas over six harvest times on ...

Hinokitiol Promotes Neural Repair After Spinal Cord Injury by Reprogramming Microglial Inflammatory and Redox Responses

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration showing that Hinokitiol promotes neural repair after spinal cord injury by activating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO‐1 signaling pathway and reprogramming microglial inflammatory‐redox responses. ABSTRACT Secondary neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, driven partly by maladaptive microglial activation, limit recovery after spinal cord ...

Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms: Design principles, stimuli‐regulated behaviors, and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms, encompassing self‐assembled peptides and peptide‐engineered inorganic, polymeric, and lipid nanocarriers, are systematically reviewed. The article highlights design principles and stimuli‐responsive regulation for improving peptide stability, delivery efficiency, and antibacterial performance.
