Plant-plant communication and community of herbivores on tall goldenrod [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 1. 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. 2.

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 ...

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

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

Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning
eLife, 2021 Theoretical and empirical advances have revealed the importance of biodiversity for stabilizing ecosystem functions through time. Despite the global degradation of soils, whether the loss of soil microbial diversity can destabilize ecosystem functioning ...
