Morphological Features of Plants on Ash Settling Ponds. Case Study

Plants, 2021
Owing to variable water conditions, chemical conditions of water or ash substrate, ash settling ponds belong to anthropogenic objects which do not easily undergo plant succession.

Carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere enhances biomass accumulation and meristem production in the pioneer shrub Baccharis dracunculifolia (Asteraceae)

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2014
The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration predicted to the end of this century may cause several alterations on plant species development, which shall result in changes in the structure and function of plant communities.

Pioneer tree species accelerate restoration of tree‐related microhabitats in 50‐year‐old reserves of Białowieża Forest, Poland

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Retention of structural elements such as deadwood and habitat trees at the level of forest stands has been promoted to integrate biodiversity conservation into multiple‐use forest management.

Current State of Ammophila arenaria (Marram Grass) Distribution in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and the Possible Effect of the Grass on the Dune System Dynamics

Plants, 2022
The principal aim of this paper is to show that marram grass is not an invasive alien in South Africa although it affects the dune dynamics as a useful pioneer species in the dune successional process. The historical perspective of marram introduction as

On the Impact of Salt Marsh Pioneer Species‐Assemblages on the Emergence of Intertidal Channel Networks [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2020
AbstractTidal marshes play an important role in climate change mitigation through natural coastal protection. The effectiveness of the natural coastal defense by tidal marshes is closely related to their channel network which is in turn greatly influenced by their vegetation cover and shape.

Successional Herbaceous Species Affect Soil Processes in a High-Elevation Alpine Proglacial Chronosequence

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
The study investigated plant-soil interactions along a proglacial chronosequence in the Italian Alps, with a specific focus on pioneer and grassland species structure and biogeochemical processes, with the aim to evaluate the biotic patterns in ecosystem

Strategies for the conservation of a pioneer tree species, Populus nigra L., in Europe [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 1998
The European black poplar is a pioneer tree species of the riparian ecosystem. Its natural habitat is exposed to anthropogenic alteration. Overexploitation of the trees, and interaction with a narrow-based cultivated gene pool also contribute to the decline of the species. National programmes for the conservation of Populus nigra exist in most European

Anatomical, physical, and mechanical properties of four pioneer species in Malaysia [PDF]

Journal of Wood Science, 2020
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the anatomical, physical, and mechanical properties of four pioneer species, i.e., batai (Paraserianthes moluccana), ludai (Sapium baccatum), mahang (Macaranga gigantea), and sesendok (Endospermum malaccense).

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
