Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Extending the limits of algal growth and stress resilience – the desert alga Chlorella ohadii as an emerging model

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Multiple facets of Chlorella ohadii biological properties and potential as a research model and biotechnology platform. Summary Since its isolation from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert over a decade ago, the unicellular green alga Chlorella ohadii has turned into a reference organism for studying photosynthesis, metabolism, and abiotic stress ...

Linking drought strategy to climate‐of‐origin in a widespread C4 grass: hydraulic traits, xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Climate‐of‐origin of Themeda triandra populations used in this study. Summary Hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits strongly influence plant performance under drought, but the extent to which these trait‐types are coordinated and relate to climate‐of‐origin remains vastly underexplored in herbaceous species relative to woody plants.

Sand Dunes Stabilization Using Silica Gel and Cement kiln Dust

open access: yesمجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسية, 2017
This research includes the study of adding some available cheap and Local materials to Sand Dunes (SD) such as, Silica Gel (SG) and Cement kiln Dust (CKD) which are used as stabilizers and sand improvement .

Leaf nutrient resorption across contrasting soil parent materials: it is not just about efficiency

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Box plots showing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in senesced leaves across contrasting parent materials for four site groups. Summary In theory, nutrient resorption from leaves should be higher in sites with lower soil nutrients, increasing the retention and reuse of nutrients that are limited in supply.

Spatial variation in morphological traits of natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert showed size‐associated differences in plant height, crown diameter, and spatial patterns among stem‐base diameter classes. These patterns describe morphological spatial variation but do not establish specific environmental drivers.

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...
