Contrasting microbial communities on male and female flowers of a dioecious plant, Mallotus japonicus (Euphorbiaceae) [PDF]
Environmental DNA, 2022 Flowers play a central role in plant reproduction by dispersing and receiving pollen grains delivered by animal vectors or air. They are rich in various nutrients, and therefore, provide an ideal habitat for many microbes.

Foraging ants affect community composition and diversity of phyllosphere fungi on a myrmecophilous plants, Mallotus japonicus [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany microorganisms inhabit the aboveground parts of plants (i.e. the phyllosphere), which mainly comprise leaves. Understanding the structure of phyllosphere microbial communities and their drivers is important because they influence host plant fitness ...

Four new species of Pseudoplagiostoma (Pseudoplagiostomataceae, Diaporthales) based on morphology and multi-locus phylogeny from China [PDF]
MycoKeysPseudoplagiostoma fungi are globally widespread, encompassing plant-pathogenic, saprophytic, and endophytic fungal species associated with diverse plant hosts. Four Pseudoplagiostoma isolates were recovered from diseased leaves of Artocarpus hainanensis,

Influence of vapour pressure deficit and CO<sub>2</sub> on the thermal sensitivity of stomatal function in tropical trees. [PDF]
New PhytolExamining the potential thermal sensitivity of the model parameter g1 when accounting for the additive nature of underlying components including CO2 compensation point (Г*) and the marginal water cost of plant carbon gain (λ), when assuming λ is dependent upon changes in the viscosity (inverse of fluidity) of water (η, Pa·s) and the solubility of CO2 ...

Plant-Trait Syndromes and Environmental Filtering Drive Biomass Ecology in Resource-Limited Forest Ecosystems. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAboveground biomass (AGB) in Pakistan's forests is primarily driven by functional dominance, with soil fertility playing a secondary but significant role, while climate effects vary across forest types. Mixed forests support the highest biomass and show the strongest influence of dominant traits, whereas climate constraints are more evident in ...

Functional Links Between Leaf Traits, Soil Properties, and Aboveground Biomass Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Chitwan, Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolResource‐acquisitive leaf traits enhance aboveground biomass accumulation, whereas structural traits constrain it. Elevation and soil properties shape trait expression and biomass across the gradients. ABSTRACT Altitudinal gradients strongly influence plant species diversity and functional trait expression in forest ecosystems.

Predicting the Habitat Suitability for Endangered Tree Species <i>Pterocarpus marsupium</i> in Nepal, Using Ensemble Species Distribution Models. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat suitability of Pterocarpus marsupium across Nepal for 2050 and 2090 under four distinct climate change scenarios, ranging from low to high emission pathways. ABSTRACT Pterocarpus marsupium Roxb., locally known as Bijaysal, is a high‐value tropical deciduous tree with a restricted and fragmented distribution in Nepal. We integrated 129 spatially
