Contrasting phosphorus‐impoverished habitats influence the species‐dependent phosphorus‐acquisition strategies of plants

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant species in phosphorus (P)‐impoverished habitats express diverse P‐acquisition strategies. However, the effect of soil P concentration ([P]) on the expression of specific P‐acquisition strategies and whether these strategies have converged within families remains ...

Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,

Isoptopic evidence of the transfer of nitrogen fixed by legumes to coffee trees [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2000
The use of isotopic methods has made it possible to quantify the contribution of nitrogen fixed by a coffee plantation. Thanks to the use of the natural 15N abundance assessment technique, we were able to show that, in field condition, roughly 30/ of the

Clarifying the generic limits of Talbotiella and Hymenostegia (Detarieae, Caesalpinioideae, Leguminosae) [PDF]

open access: yes
The formal description of four species of Cameroonian forest legume trees new to science has been hampered by uncertainty as to whether their correct generic placement is within Hymenostegia Harms or Talbotiella Baker f.

Higher cutting frequency can restore semi‐natural habitat quality on farmland

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Rather than productivity per se, the cover of dominant plant species drives plant species richness. Breaking the dominance of these species through defoliation can restore the species richness of the vegetation. Because dominant plant species can tolerate more defoliations at higher productivity, the number of times a vegetation needs to be cut to ...

Effects of post‐fire heating on germination and early growth of two congeners of Dimorphandra species from Cerrado and Atlantic Forest

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
Plants in the Atlantic Forest are not adapted to fire. On the other hand, in the Cerrado, fire occurs naturally, favoring species morphophysiologically adapted to its seasonal occurrence. However, little is known about the influence of the post fire scenario on the germination of woody species seeds in these two biomes.
