Photosynthetic Properties of Co-Occurring Pioneer Species on Volcanically Devastated Sites in Miyake-jima Island, Japan [PDF]

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Pioneer species differing in their inherent ecological characteristics (e.g., N-fixing ability, photosynthetic pathway) can have a large impact on local ecosystems in the early stages of volcanic succession.

Alien Species in the Pioneer and Ruderal Vegetation of Ukraine

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Invasions of nonnative plants are widely recognized as one of the major threats to the biodiversity of natural ecosystems on a global scale. Pioneer and ruderal habitats are the primary locations for the penetration of alien plants.

Roles of fire history and rewetting in peatland restoration and vegetation recovery on the Merang peat dome, South Sumatra, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2023
In the restoration of drained and degraded tropical peat swamp forest (PSF) it is not well understood whether fire suppression on its own is sufficient to facilitate regeneration, or if rewetting plays a key role.

Are nurse plants useful for facilitating the reintroduction of mid- and late successional tree species in tropical montane cloud forests?

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2023
Background: In Mexico, where 50 % of the original Tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) has been lost due to human activities, the restoration of these forests is essential. Questions and/or hypotheses: (1) L.

Logging effects on seedling regeneration and diversity in a tropical moist semi-deciduous forest in Ghana

open access: yesGeology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2021
The effect of time lag after logging on seedling dynamics was assessed in logged and unlogged forest plots located in the Pra-Anum Forest Reserve. Remnant tree attributes were sampled in six plots with sizes of 25 × 25 m in each forest type.

Evaluating the post-fire natural regeneration of Mediterranean-type scrublands in Central Spain

open access: yesMediterranean Botany, 2021
We performed a five-year assessment of the natural vegetation restoration capacity following the 2012 fires in Valdemaqueda (Madrid, Spain) via the characterization of the post-fire and residual vegetation and the analysis of soil physico-chemical ...

Challenges and Opportunities for in situ Maintenance of the Native Brazilian Cotton Gossypium mustelinum Miers

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The native Brazilian cotton Gossypium mustelinum has never been planted. It is tetraploid and may cross with cultivated cotton. Endemic to Northeast Brazil, it was known only to grow in semi-arid areas, but expeditions in 2011, 2016, and 2018 localized ...

Estudo da germinação de sementes de espécies arbóreas pioneiras: Tibouchina pulchra Cogn. e Tibouchina granulosa Cogn. (Melastomataceae) Seed germination of pioneer species of Tibouchina pulchra Cogn. and Tibouchina granulosa Cogn. (Mclastomataceae)

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 1998
A influência da luz no processo de germinação de sementes de Tibouchina pulchra e T granulosa foi estudada. Sementes de Tibouchina pulchra e T. granulosa submetidas a diferentes qualidades e quantidades de luz demonstram forte dependência para o processo

Bat assemblage and its frugivorous diet in a Eucalyptus plantation [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Habitat loss and fragmentation have enormous impacts on biodiversity and tree plantations can help alleviate these impacts. We study bat assemblage, as well as the diet of frugivorous bats in a managed Eucalyptus plantation of sustainable use in Rio ...
