Bud and growth‐unit structure in seedlings and saplings of Nothofagus alpina (Nothofagaceae) [PDF]
In temperate trees, axis length growth generally results from the differentiation of organs at the end of a growing season and the extension of such “preformed organs” in the next growing season. Neoformation, i.e., the simultaneous differentiation and extension of organs, has been studied for only a few species.

ABSTRACT Bryophytes are important to terrestrial ecosystems, as they build soil and improve habitats for vascular plants. We investigated the influence of substrate pH, light, and cover of lichens and vascular plants on bryophyte communities in different microhabitats near the Lewis Pass.

First results in the development of a genetic marker based on the storage proteins in two species of the Nothofagus genus [PDF]
The Nothofagus genus (Nothofagaceae) in Chile includes 12 species and some hybrids among them. Some of these species are seriously threatened, presenting a low distribution and high genetic erosion. In this study a molecular marker based on seed storage

ABSTRACT Mycorrhizal fungi, which form symbiotic associations with plant roots, can be critical to the successful establishment of plants. Up to 90% of land plant species form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which develop fungal structures inside host roots.

Viability of seed balls for large‐scale restoration of native plant communities in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Aerial seed broadcast by aircraft is a promising approach to ecosystem restoration and land rehabilitation over large, remote, and inaccessible areas. Aerial seeding has been used internationally for forest and grassland restoration since the 1930s but is not commonly applied to ecosystem restoration in New Zealand. Advances in unmanned aerial

Misodendrum punctulatum (Misodendraceae) seed dispersal and colonization patterns on a Nothofagus antarctica (Nothofagaceae) post-fire shrubland from Northwestern Patagonia [PDF]
El patrón espacial de la dispersión puede afectar el patrón espacial de establecimiento condicionando la estructura de la vegetación. Este trabajo analiza la magnitud de la dispersión y la colonización (infección) de la planta hemiparásita Misodendrum ...

Our study provides replicated, experimental evidence that competitor release can result in an unintended and negative conservation outcome: seedfall from indigenous trees decreased when ship rats alone were controlled. Overall, our results support others' recent conclusions that comprehensive pest management strategies are key to maximise the benefits ...

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.
