Restoration of Riparian Vegetation Can Mitigate Impacts of Agricultural Land Use on Stream Ecosystems

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluated whether riparian forest restoration could mitigate the impacts of agricultural land use on key stream ecosystem processes (total and microbial leaf litter decomposition and periphytic algal biomass accrual) and associated assemblages (invertebrates, aquatic hyphomycetes, and periphytic algae) in three streams located in northern ...

Physical constraints and environmental factors shape phloem anatomical traits in woody angiosperm species

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 2316-2330, December 2025.
Summary Xylem trait studies have enhanced our understanding of how plants strategically adapt their morphological and anatomical features to diverse climates. Despite the importance of the phloem in plant functioning, similar studies of phloem traits are lacking.

Large wood recruitment in the Tegnas torrent (Italy): The impact of the Vaia storm and the role of the riparian forest structure

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 13, October 2025.
This study examines large wood (LW) recruitment in the Tegnas Torrent (Italy) after the Vaia Storm. It quantifies floodplain‐recruited LW and analyses reach‐scale correlations with sediment balance and connectivity. Results revealed that wider lateral erosion does not always lead to higher recruitment, as riparian forest characteristics play a key role.

Can Multiscale Thermal Infrared Imaging Help Validate and Monitor Water Stress in Alluvial Forests?

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Alluvial forests are sensitive to drought induced by climate change and exacerbated by altered flow regimes. Our ability to detect and map their sensitivity to drought is crucial to evaluate the effects of climate change and adjust management practices.

Beaver dams in Mediterranean ecosystems: trait‐specific effects on macroinvertebrates

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 4, Page 353-362, December 2024.
Being ecosystem engineers, beavers have attracted great attention in the restoration of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the effects of the species on aquatic invertebrates known to date are not univocal and mostly refer to central European riverine systems. Here, we evaluated the effects of beaver presence on aquatic macroinvertebrates

Populacijska varijabilnost sivkaste vrbe (Salix eleagnos Scop.) temeljena na morfologiji listova: Dokaz o postojanju malolisnih i velelisnih morfotipova [PDF]

Phenotypic differentiation is often the result of the ecological diversity of a species with a wide natural range. It is favoured by natural selection, as well as factors such as gene flow, genetic drift, or founder events.

Vertical root profiles of grey alder (Alnus incana) trees growing in highly disturbed river environments

River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1001-1011, July 2024.
Abstract The ability of plants to colonize the fluvial environment and withstand uprooting by floods is largely controlled by the anchoring effect of roots. We characterized the root architecture and tensile strength of Alnus incana, a riparian tree species of the Betulaceae family for which there are no systematic observations of its vertical root ...

Microsatellite markers for diverse Salix species

, 2003
Forty-six microsatellites were isolated from an enriched library of Salix butjatica and tested on 20 individuals (of nine species/hybrids) from the National Willows Collection (IACR-Long Ashton Research Station, UK).

Riparian woody plant communities in the Romanian Carpathians: Species diversity and community structure of Salix and Hippophaë communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
This article examines riparian woody plant communities in the Romanian Carpathians, focusing on Salix purpurea, S. alba, and Hippophaë rhamnoides communities in mountain regions. The study reveals a total of 174 plant species, with herbaceous species being the most abundant. Salix alba and S.

Uniform female-biased sex ratios in alpine willows [PDF]

, 2012
Premise of the study: The development of biased sex ratios in dioecious plant species has been ascribed to either (1) factors influencing differential adult mortality of male and female plants or (2) factors acting at an early life stage that determine ...
