Variation and adaptation of leaf water content among species, communities, and biomes
Environmental 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–animal communication [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 There are numerous excellent books about plant–pollinator and plant–herbivore interactions, and books about plant defence, but none of these covers the process of communication between plants and animals as comprehensively as this volume. The authors define communication as occuring ‘if traits of the sender stimulate the sensory systems of the receiver

Climate and plant community diversity in space and time. [PDF]
, 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]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe 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 ...

Plant behaviour and communication [PDF]
Ecology 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 ...

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

Soil–plant interactions in a pasture of the Italian Alps
Journal 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
Acta 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

Frontiers 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
