Specialized Feeding Behavior of an Endangered Primate Enhances Forest Health in China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The endangered black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) exhibits a specialized diet on the lichen Usnea longissima. We proved that the U. longissima is harmful to trees and the monkey mitigates overgrowth of the lichen, as well as promotes its regeneration to maintain population, thereby promoting ecosystem health and resilience.

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...

Scaling relationship between leaf mass and leaf area: A case study using six alpine Rhododendron species in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Exploring the adaptation strategies of plants in alpine regions could provide reliable suggestions for plant conservation. As an irreplaceable organ, leaf functional traits and correlation have the closest contact with environment, which is the main ...

Controlling Rhododendron spp. in the Turkish Black Sea Region [PDF]

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2006
Summary Rhododendrons ( Rhododendron ponticum L. and Rhododendron luteum Sweet) dominate the understories of the mesic forests of the Black Sea Region (BSR) of Turkey. They dramatically reduce forest growth and regeneration and local plant diversity. This paper reports the results of a large rhododendron control experiment established on two different ...

195 PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY OF HEAT TOLERANCE IN RHODODENDRON SPP. [PDF]

HortScience, 1994
Temperature sensitivity of net photosynthesis (Pn) was evaluated among 4 taxa of rhododendron including Rhododendron hyperythrum, R. russatum, and plants from two populations (northern and southern provenances) of R. catawbiense. Measurements were conducted on individual leaves at temperatures ranging from 15 to 40C.

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9
