Plant Bioinspired Ecological Robotics [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Plants are movers, but the nature of their movement differs dramatically from that of creatures that move their whole body from point A to point B. Plants grow to where they are going. Bio-inspired robotics sometimes emulates plants' growth-based movement; but growing is part of a broader system of movement guidance and control.

Flood and fire affect the soil seed bank of riparian forest in the Pantanal wetland
Rodriguésia, 2020 Flood and fire can harm plants but they can have survival strategies, such as the seed bank. We aimed to determine the influence of fire and flood on the richness, abundance and diversity of the seed bank.

Effects of plastic fragments on plant performance are mediated by soil properties and drought
Scientific Reports, 2022 In recent years, the effects of plastic contamination on soil and plants have received growing attention. Plastic can affect soil water content and thus may interact with the effects of drought on soil and plants.

Low‐cost observations and experiments return a high value in plant phenology research
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020 Plant ecologists in the Anthropocene are tasked with documenting, interpreting, and predicting how plants respond to environmental change. Phenology, the timing of seasonal biological events including leaf‐out, flowering, fruiting, and leaf senescence ...

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]
, 2015 1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.

Evolution and ecology of plant viruses
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019 The discovery of the first non-cellular infectious agent, later determined to be tobacco mosaic virus, paved the way for the field of virology. In the ensuing decades, research focused on discovering and eliminating viral threats to plant and animal health.

Plant biomechanics in an ecological context [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2006 Fundamental plant traits such as support, anchorage, and protection against environmental stress depend substantially on biomechanical design. The costs, subsequent trade‐offs, and effects on plant performance of mechanical traits are not well understood, but it appears that many of these traits have evolved in response to abiotic and biotic mechanical
