Nitrogen Deposition Amplifies the Legacy Effects of Plant Invasion

, 2023
The legacy effects of invasive plant species can hinder the recovery of native communities, especially under nitrogen deposition conditions, where invasive species show growth advantages and trigger secondary invasions in controlled areas.

Embracing community ecology in plant microbiome research

, 2018
Community assembly is mediated by selection, dispersal, drift, and speciation. Environmental selection is mostly used to date to explain patterns in plant microbiome assembly, whereas the influence of the other processes remains largely elusive.

Plants that differ in height investment can coexist if they are distributed non-uniformly within an area. [PDF]

, 2007
In nature, there is a large variability in the intrinsic height of plants living within an area. The question arises whether these height differences affect the plants' ability to coexist and thus is an adaptive trait.

Urban forest plant diversity affects soil organic carbon by regulating functional genes in Nanning

iScience
Summary: Urban forests serve as reservoirs of soil organic carbon (SOC) within ecosystems and play a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying SOC dynamics across urbanization gradients in urban forests remain ...

Parameters structuring macrophyte communities in rivers and lakes – results from a case study in North-Central Poland

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
We analysed macrophyte species composition and abundance, water chemistry and hydromorphological parameters of all major river stretches and lakes in the catchment of the lowland river Wel, Poland.

Hydrology, shore morphology and species traits affect seed dispersal, germination and community assembly in shoreline plant communities [PDF]

, 2014
Summary 1.Seed dispersal and germination are two primary processes influencing plant community assembly. On freshwater shores, water levels regulate both processes.

Riparian Vegetation and Sediment Supply Regulate the Morphodynamic Response of an Experimental Stream to Floods

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Feedbacks between woody plants and fluvial morphodynamics result in co-development of riparian vegetation communities and channel form. To advance mechanistic knowledge regarding these interactions, we measured the response of topography and flow to the ...

Diurnal temperature range drives understory plant community composition in micro-climatically complex temperate montane forests

Environmental Research: Ecology
Cold air drainage is common in mountains, and leads to large, fine-scale differences in diurnal temperature range (DTR). DTR is hypothesized to drive plant community assembly, because areas with high DTR can be exposed to both extreme high and extreme ...

Microparticles from dental calculus disclose paleoenvironmental and palaeoecological records

Ecology and Evolution
Plants have always represented a key element in landscape delineation. Indeed, plant diversity, whose distribution is influenced by geographic/climatic variability, has affected both environmental and human ecology.
