Soil-Driven Coupling of Plant Community Functional Traits and Diversity in Desert-Oasis Transition Zone. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Understanding the relationships between diversity and functional traits in plant communities is essential for elucidating ecosystem functions, forecasting community succession, and informing ecological restoration efforts in arid regions.

Ecology of plant volatiles: taking a plant community perspective [PDF]

, 2014
Although plants are sessile organisms, they can modulate their phenotype so as to cope with environmental stresses such as herbivore attack and competition with neighbouring plants.

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 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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.

Constructing more informative plant-pollinator networks : visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community [PDF]

, 2015
Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines.

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
