The Plant Phenology Ontology: A New Informatics Resource for Large-Scale Integration of Plant Phenology Data

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant phenology – the timing of plant life-cycle events, such as flowering or leafing out – plays a fundamental role in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, including human agricultural systems. Because plant phenology is often linked with climatic

Diagnose the dominant climate factors and periods of spring phenology in Qinling Mountains, China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The important effect of climate factors on spring phenology has been confirmed by numerous studies, but its temporal variation remains unclear. Based on the daily meteorological observation data and annual vegetation phenology data from 1987 to 2016 ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and driving factors of drought in the Yellow River Basin (Henan section): insights from TVDI analysis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionLocated in central China, the Yellow River Basin (Henan section) is a vital grain-producing region with extensive farmland. Its strategic central location also means its economic development is crucial for the stable growth of both Henan ...

Drivers of insect herbivory resistance and tolerance to plant damage in the Brachypodium distachyon species complex

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Insect herbivory is a major biotic factor shaping plant populations and driving the evolution of defensive traits. Polyploidy (whole‐genome duplication) often induces substantial phenotypic and genotypic changes that may affect species interactions, including herbivory.

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

Quantifying the impacts of diverse vegetation-covered patterns on hillslope soil erosion: a case experiment of alfalfa-covered hillslopes

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe discrepancies in near-soil-surface hydrologic processes triggered by herbage spatial distribution pattern greatly influence the variation in hillslope erosion process. However, knowledge about the influence of herbage spatial distribution

Using phenology data to improve control of invasive plant species: A case study on Midway Atoll NWR

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2020
1. Restoration of degraded lands often depends on knowledge of invasive plant species’ ecology coupled with well‐timed treatments to control them. Little is known about the reproductive phenology of Verbesina encelioides (golden crownbeard), which is a ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
