Phytophthora Species Associated with Roots of Native and Non-native Trees in Natural and Managed Forests

Microbial Ecology, 2020
Roots act as a biological filter that exclusively allows only a portion of the soil-associated microbial diversity to infect the plant. This microbial diversity includes organisms both beneficial and detrimental to plants. Phytophthora species are among the most important groups of detrimental microbes that cause various soil-borne plant diseases.

Development of native forest species of the Atlantic forest in soil contaminated with hormonal herbicides

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2019
Hormonal herbicides, used in pastures, can suffer drift and reach forests. The sensitivity and potential phytoremediation of native species to herbicide residues should be evaluated. The objective of this study is to evaluate the initial development of native Atlantic Forest tree species in soil contaminated with hormonal herbicides. The experiment was

Remote sensing of native and invasive species in Hawaiian forests

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2008
Abstract Detection and mapping of invasive species is an important component of conservation and management efforts in Hawai'i, but the spectral separability of native, introduced, and invasive species has not been established. We used high spatial resolution airborne imaging spectroscopy to analyze the canopy hyperspectral reflectance properties of ...

Examining native and exotic species diversity in European riparian forests

Biological Conservation, 2007
This study performs a meta-analysis of existing studies of European riparian forests to investigate which exotic species have successfully established in intact riparian forests and which characteristics of these forests correspond with successful establishment.

Strategic Rat Control for Restoring Populations of Native Species in Forest Fragments

Conservation Biology, 2014
Abstract Forest fragments have biodiversity value that may be enhanced through management such as control of non‐native predators. However, such efforts may be ineffective, and research is needed to ensure that predator control is done strategically.

Tensile strength of native boreal forest plant species

Plant roots influence the engineering properties of soil, such as erodibility and strength. Plant roots’ contribution to soil shear strength is of particular importance in Arctic and subarctic environments where the shallow subsurface experiences a decrease in shear strength due to permafrost thaw, subsidence, and wildfires.

Bryophytes display allelopathic interactions with tree species in native forest ecosystems

Oikos, 2011
Bryophytes are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems but little is known about their influence on vascular species. Water‐soluble leachates (0%, 1%, 5%, 10% concentration) derived from 18 species of bryophytes (mosses 11 species; liverworts 7 species) were tested on the germination and seedling growth of Lactuca ...

Predicting flooding tolerance of native tree species to restore flooded forests

Applied Vegetation Science, 2020
AbstractAimFlooded forests are critically important for supplying water‐related ecosystem services, but their restoration has been severely limited by low seedling performance due to flooding stress. We classified the flooding tolerance of 15 native tree species in a nursery‐based method to guide species selection for restoring a flooded forest ...
