Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Functional Trait Variation and Reverse Phenology in the Tropical Dry Forest Species Bonellia nervosa

Plants
Bonellia nervosa is an understory tree with reverse phenology in tropical dry forests (TDFs), where seasonal water and temperature stress typically shape plant phenology and trait expression. This species is heliophytic and phreatophytic, relying on high

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.

Phenology of two Ficus species in seasonal semi-deciduous forest in Southern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We analyzed the phenology of Ficus adhatodifolia Schott ex Spreng. (23 fig tree) and F. eximia Schott (12 fig tree) for 74 months in a remnant of seasonal semi-deciduous forest (23°27’S and 51°15’W), Southern Brazil and discussed their importance to ...

Begonia quadricornualata sp. nov. (Begoniaceae) from India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Begonia L. (Begoniaceae) belonging to sect. Platycentrum is described from the Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh, India. This new species is distinguished by its dense, long, red to brown hispid hairs on the adaxial leaf surface of female plants, caducous stipules and bracts, and solitary‐flowered female inflorescence ...

Divergence in the sensitivity of woody leaf unfolding phenology to daytime and nighttime temperatures

Ecological Processes
Background Plant phenology plays an important role in regulating carbon and water cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising temperatures have a profound impact on vegetation phenology in the northern hemisphere, advancing spring phenology and delaying ...

Petrocosmea wentsaii sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from Guizhou, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Petrocosmea wentsaii M.Q. Han, Miao.M. Wang & Yan Liu, a new species from Guizhou, China, is described and illustrated. Petrocosmea wentsaii was found on damp walls in a huge limestone cave. It is most similar to Petrocosmea hexiensis S.Z. Zhang & Z.Y. Liu in the conformation of the corolla.

A comparative study of four approaches to assess phenology of Populus in a short-rotation coppice culture

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
We compared four approaches to assess phenology in a short-rotation coppice culture with 12 poplar (Populus) genotypes. The four approaches quantified phenology at different spatial scales and with different temporal resolutions: (i) visual observations ...
