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.

Critical Nutrient Concentrations and DRIS Norms for Pinus patula [PDF]
, 2018 Pinus patula is one of the most planted wood conifer species worldwide; however, no foliar nutrient standards exist for this species up to date. The objective of the present study was to generate and verify two sets of foliar nutrient standards for nearly ten-year-old P. patula trees: critical nutrient concentrations and DRIS norms.

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 ...
