Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii - enemy release and plant-soil feedbacks. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe-Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Do Giant Sequoias Regenerate in Large Crown Fire Patches? [PDF]
Ecol EvolWhile it is widely recognized that giant sequoias are serotinous and reproduction is positively associated with high‐severity fire, land managers hypothesize that giant sequoias cannot effectively reproduce in large crown fire patches. We investigated this issue in two large high‐severity fire patches, dominated primarily by crown fire, in Redwood ...
