Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Mechanistic scaling of twig allometry and crown architecture in Scots pine: implications for moose browse availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Balancing moose Alces alces populations with forest production objectives remains a major challenge in Swedish forestry. We developed a mechanistic, data‐driven model of browse availability in Scots pine Pinus sylvestris saplings by linking shoot‐level allometry, crown architecture, and tree height development.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Low seed viability and germination in Polylepis flavipila hinder forest restoration: The role of seed mass and maternal effects

Trees, Forests and People
Seed physiological quality is usually determined by the interaction between genetics and the mother tree's environment, as well as by intrinsic characteristics, such as seed mass. In the Andean highlands, massive sapling production for forest restoration

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Effects of Interstock (M9) Length Grafted onto MM106 Rootstock on Sylleptic Shoot Formation, Growth and Yield in Some Apple Cultivars

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014
In this study, branching effects of interstock lengths (15 and 30 cm) of M9 on MM106 rootstock were tested on Golden Delicious and Granny Smith cultivars. In addition, vegetative growth and cumulative yield were determined between 2003 and 2010.

Complementary root and mycorrhizal foraging strategies for phosphorus acquisition among arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal trees in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) availability is widely recognized as an important constraint on plant growth in many subtropical forest ecosystems, yet how contrasting mycorrhizal strategies mediate the use of inorganic and organic P forms remains unclear.
