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 ...

Operationalizing Plant Traits [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019
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 functional diversity. Trait

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 ...

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.

On Plant Modularity Traits: Functions and Challenges [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2017
On-spot persistence, space occupancy, and recovery after damage are key plant functions largely understudied. Traits relevant to these functions are difficult to assess because of their relationships to plant modularity. We suggest that developing collection protocols for these traits is feasible and could facilitate their inclusion in global syntheses.

A dual transcriptome analysis reveals accession-specific resistance responses in Lathyrus sativus against Erysiphe pisi

Frontiers in Plant Science
Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) is a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture, offering dietary benefits and desirable agronomic traits. However, its yield stability is limited by diseases such as powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe pisi.

Global Estimation of Biophysical Variables from Google Earth Engine Platform

Remote Sensing, 2018
This paper proposes a processing chain for the derivation of global Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fraction Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Canopy water content (CWC) maps from 15-years of MODIS data ...

Species-Specific Responses to Human Trampling Indicate Alpine Plant Size Is More Sensitive than Reproduction to Disturbance

Plants, 2023
Human disturbance, such as trampling, is an integral component of global change, yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of its effects on alpine ecosystems.

Both management practices and landscape influence plant communities in urban grasslands

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The development of urban areas now requires the integration of biodiversity issues, and this leads to better consideration of their seminatural habitats.
