Invasive-plant traits, native-plant traits, and their divergences as invasion factors. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
AbstractInvasive plants exert significant ecological impacts on native plants, communities, and ecosystems. However, consistent conclusions regarding how traits of invasive plants, native plants, and their divergences affect invasion dynamics are still lacking.

Trait ecology of startup plants

New Phytologist, 2022
SummaryStartup plants include seedlings and basal and epicormic resprouts. It has long been held that startups have different strategies from adult plants, but theory for what trait differences to expect is limited and not yet quantitatively tested. Three applicable concepts are analogous to human startup firms, R‐shift, and trait‐growth theory.

Opposing effects of plant traits on diversification. [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Species diversity can vary dramatically across lineages due to differences in speciation and extinction rates. Here, we explore the effects of several plant traits on diversification, finding that most traits have opposing effects on diversification. For example, outcrossing may increase the efficacy of selection and adaptation but also decrease mate ...

TRY – a global database of plant traits [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2011
Abstract Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs – determine how primary producers respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, influence ecosystem processes and services and provide a link from species richness to ecosystem ...

Impact of Mulch Film Color on Soil Temperature and Yield of Cucumber Cultivated in the Fall in Sichuan Basin

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Background】 Cucumber is one of the main vegetables cultivated in the Sichuan basin, but the annual average solar radiation, 1 500 MJ/m2, in the basin cannot meet its requirement for light.

Shoot Flammability Patterns in Native and Exotic Street Tree Species at the Wildland–Urban Interface of Eastern Australia

Fire, 2023
Street trees provide ecosystem services such as heat mitigation, improved community well-being, and biodiversity conservation. At the wildland–urban interface (WUI), high-flammability street trees also provide a conflicting ecosystem disservice ...

Targeted plant hologenome editing for plant trait enhancement [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Breeding better crops is a cornerstone of global food security. While efforts in plant genetic improvement show promise, it is increasingly becoming apparent that the plant phenotype should be treated as a function of the holobiont, in which plant and microbial traits are deeply intertwined. Using a minimal holobiont model, we track ethylene

mixchar: An R Package for the Deconvolution of Thermal Decay Curves

Journal of Open Research Software, 2021
Plant cell wall biomass is composed of a range of different types of carbon-based compounds. The proportions of the primary carbon types affect how cell walls decompose, an important ecosystem process because their decay contributes to soil carbon ...

Complex-trait analysis in plants [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2010
Two recent studies in Arabidopsis have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) by population- association and family-based studies, respectively, providing further data on the genetic architecture of complex-trait variation in plants.

Nitrogen addition alters plant growth in China’s Yellow River Delta coastal wetland through direct and indirect effects

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
In the coastal wetland, nitrogen is a limiting element for plant growth and reproduction. However, nitrogen inputs increase annually due to the rise in nitrogen emissions from human activity in coastal wetlands.
