Initial colonization by bryophytes and ferns during primary succession on Nishinoshima, Japan

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Volcanic islands that have experienced complete vegetation loss following recent eruptions provide rare opportunities to observe the earliest stages of ecosystem recovery. Nishinoshima, an oceanic island located approximately 1000 km south of mainland Japan, underwent major volcanic activity between 2013 and 2020, eradicating all pre‐existing ...

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Back to the sea twice: identifying candidate plant genes for molecular evolution to marine life

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of monocotyledonous angiosperms that have adapted to a completely submerged lifestyle in marine waters. Here, we exploit two collections of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of two wide-spread and ecologically ...

Benthic-Pelagic Coupling of Marine Primary Producers Under Different Natural and Human-Induced Pressures’ Regimes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine primary producers are highly sensitive to environmental deterioration caused by natural and human-induced stressors. Following the Water Framework Directive and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive requirements, the importance of using the ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Ultrastructure and cytochemistry of squamulae intravaginales of the marine angiosperm, Halophila ovalis

South African Journal of Botany, 1990
Small delicate structures found in the leaf bases in vegetative buds of the marine angiosperm Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook. f. showed a fine structure of the component cells typical of secretory cells. They are rich in organelles particularly ER, dictyosomes, ribosomes and mitochondria. Endoplasmic reticulum occurs at two localities in each cell, one

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

A Phytochemical Analysis and the Pharmacological Implications of the Seagrass Halodule uninervis: An Overview

Pharmaceuticals
Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that inhabit tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They play a vital role in marine biodiversity and the ecosystem by providing habitats and food for several marine organisms, stabilizing sediments, and ...

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

Synchronized anthesis and predation on pollen in the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum (Hydrocharitaceae) [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008
Synchrony in the anthesis of male and female flowers of the hydrophilous dioecious marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum was studied by following flower buds of 64 staminate and 34 carpellate flowers in situ during night and day to observe the timing of flower opening.
