Influence of Functional Traits of Dominant Species of Different Life Forms and Plant Communities on Ecological Stoichiometric Traits in Karst Landscapes

Plants
Assessing the functional traits and ecological stoichiometric characteristics of dominant species across different life forms within plant communities in karst environments and investigating the inherent connection between them can provide insights into ...

Potential landscape-scale pollinator networks across Great Britain: structure, stability and influence of agricultural land cover [PDF]

, 2018
Understanding spatial variation in the structure and stability of plant-pollinator networks, and their relationship with anthropogenic drivers, is key to maintaining pollination services and mitigating declines.

Non-utilization Is Not the Best Way to Manage Lowland Meadows in Hulun Buir

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Carex meyeriana lowland meadow is an important component of natural grasslands in Hulun Buir. However, in Hulun Buir, fewer studies have been conducted on C. meyeriana lowland meadows than on other grassland types.

Building bridges: mycelium–mediated plant–plant electrophysiological communication

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
AbstractWhether through root secretions or by emitting volatile organic compounds, plant communication has been well-documented. While electrical activity has been documented in plants and mycorrhizal bodies on the individual and ramet, electrical propagation as a means of communication between plants has been hypothesized but understudied.

Drivers of inter-year variability of plant production and decomposers across contrasting island ecosystems [PDF]

, 2012
Despite the likely importance of inter-year dynamics of plant production and consumer biota for driving community- and ecosystem-level processes, very few studies have explored how and why these dynamics vary across contrasting ecosystems.

Plant–soil feedbacks help explain plant community productivity

Ecology, 2022
AbstractPlant productivity often increases with species richness, but the mechanisms explaining this diversity–productivity relationship are not fully understood. We tested if plant–soil feedbacks (PSF) can help to explain how biomass production changes with species richness. Using a greenhouse experiment, we measured all 240 possible PSFs for 16 plant

Nematodes enhance plant growth and nutrient uptake under C and N-rich conditions [PDF]

, 2016
The role of soil fauna in crucial ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling remains poorly quantified, mainly because of the overly reductionistic approach adopted in most experimental studies.

Responses and Indicators of Composition, Diversity, and Productivity of Plant Communities at Different Levels of Disturbance in a Wetland Ecosystem

Diversity, 2021
Grassland tourism is a very popular leisure activity in many parts of the world. However, the presence of people in these areas causes disturbance to the local environment and grassland resources.

Plant communities

, 2019
The present chapter offers a concise overview of the vegetation cover of the Pantepui province located between approximately 1500 and 3000 m elevation in northeastern South America. This unique natural province, belonging to the biogeographical region of the Guiana Shield in the Neotropical region, presents a remarkable diversity of montane plant ...

Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics. [PDF]

, 2020
Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes.
