Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Factors Influencing Date Pollen Viability

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 1997
Pollen of seven date cultivars was stored at 4.5 -5.0'C using desiccator with or without silica gel and in vials outside the desicator as a control. Germination percentage was determined microscopically with a hemacytometer after harvest and at three and

Growth and differentiation: Life processes in crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This booklet discusses two basic life processes in nature:growth and differentiation.It uses the examples of apples,carrots and wheat to illustrate how growers can recognize these processes and can take practical measures to correct the balance between ...

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Understanding smallholder decision‐making to increase farm tree diversity: Enablers and barriers for forest landscape restoration in Western Kenya

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

THE INFLUENCE OF METHOD STORAGE ON FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS OF POLLEN OF TABLE BEET

open access: yesОвощи России, 2018
When working with pollen, it is important to keep its functional parameters for some time. To do this, you need to choose the best conditions to preserve pollen germination. The influence of different method of pollen storage of inbred plants of beetroot

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.
