Response of Plant Community Characteristics and Soil Factors to Topographic Variations in Alpine Grasslands [PDF]

open access: yesPlants
Topography has an important influence on plant–soil relationships. However, research on plant–soil relationships in alpine grassland at the slope aspect and slope position scales is currently inadequate.

Plant-plant communication and community of herbivores on tall goldenrod [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Abstract The volatiles from damaged plants induce defense in neighboring plants. The phenomenon is called plant–plant communication, plant talk, or plant eavesdropping. Plant–plant communication has been reported to be stronger between kin plants than genetically far plants in sagebrush.

Effects of Soil Physico-Chemical Properties on Plant Species Diversity Along an Elevation Gradient Over Alpine Grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Elevation gradient can reflect the effects of soil physico-chemical properties on plant species diversity. Alpine grassland on the QTP has suffered from a serious decline in plant species diversity.

How bamboo influences the seed bank and biotic and abiotic factors of a Brazilian tropical forest

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2021
There is a knowledge gap regarding the influence of bamboos on natural regeneration. This study evaluated how abundance, richness, dominance, evenness, diversity of the seed bank and biotic and abiotic factors (e.g., canopy opening, herbaceous cover, and

Nitrogen Addition Affects Ecosystem Carbon Exchange by Regulating Plant Community Assembly and Altering Soil Properties in an Alpine Meadow on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nitrogen (N) deposition can affect the global ecosystem carbon balance. However, how plant community assembly regulates the ecosystem carbon exchange in response to the N deposition remains largely unclear, especially in alpine meadows. In this study, we

Do Weeds Hinder the Establishment of Native Plants on a Reclaimed North American Boreal Mine Site?

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
The majority of plant diversity in the boreal forest of northern Alberta, Canada is comprised of native understory plant species that are continuously facing competition from other species, including both undesirable native and weedy species.
