Variation and adaptation of leaf water content among species, communities, and biomes

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2021
Leaf water content (LWC) is essential for the physiological activities in plants, but its spatial variation and the underlying mechanisms in natural plant communities are unclear.

Plant behaviour and communication [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2008
AbstractPlant behaviours are defined as rapid morphological or physiological responses to events, relative to the lifetime of an individual. Since Darwin, biologists have been aware that plants behave but it has been an underappreciated phenomenon. The best studied plant behaviours involve foraging for light, nutrients, and water by placing organs ...

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.

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Climate and plant community diversity in space and time. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Climate strongly shapes plant diversity over large spatial scales, with relatively warm and wet (benign, productive) regions supporting greater numbers of species.

Assessment of the state of vegetation cover of recultivated dumps of uranium deposits in Northern Kazakhstan [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The purpose of this study was to assess the processes of plant community formation on recultivated dumps of spent uranium-containing industrial waste from uranium deposit mines, as well as to identify the degree of impact of agro-climatic factors ...

From bench to bountiful harvests : a road map for the next decade of Arabidopsis research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In the face of an increasing world population and climate instability, the demands for food and fuel will continue to rise. Plant science will be crucial to help meet these exponentially increasing requirements for food and fuel supplies.

Soil–plant interactions in a pasture of the Italian Alps

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2020
A detailed assessment of a pasture’s functioning based on soil properties characterization, floristic composition, and ‘functional summary’ by evaluating competitor–stress tolerator–ruderal (CSR) strategies is provided for a doline in Central Italian ...

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
