Narrow thresholds of canopy disturbance determine the microclimate buffering potential of tropical forests

iScience
Summary: The importance of protecting logged and recovering tropical forests has gained much attention. Disturbed forests can, however, have hotter microclimates, exacerbating the effects of future climate change.

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.

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.

Disentangling the relationship between environmental drivers and productivity in subalpine wet grasslands

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionGrasslands exhibit significant variability in productivity across fine spatial scales, which is crucial for understanding terrestrial carbon cycling, particularly under global climate change.

A Glyphosate-Based Herbicide in Soil Differentially Affects Hormonal Homeostasis and Performance of Non-target Crop Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide with a yearly increase in global application. Recent studies report glyphosate residues from diverse habitats globally where the effect on non-target plants are still to be explored.

Allocation, stress tolerance and carbon transport in plants: how does phloem physiology affect plant ecology?

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2015
Despite the crucial role of carbon transport in whole plant physiology and its impact on plant-environment interactions and ecosystem function, relatively little research has tried to examine how phloem physiology impacts plant ecology.

Effects of flooding and its temporal variation on seedling recruitment from the soil seed bank of a Neotropical floodplain

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Evaluation of the effects of flooding on seedling recruitment from seed banks helps in understanding vegetation regeneration in floodplains. We studied the effects of simulated flooding on richness and abundance of, and temporal variation in, seedling ...

Plastic responses in the competition for light among genotypes of a stoloniferous species [PDF]

, 2008
The ability to adjust the phenotype (e.g. plasticity) is thought to be beneficial for the performance of a plant, because it prevents overinvestment in support structures when plant density is low, and allows a plant to position its leaves high in the ...
