Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Role of reduced glutathione in Zn and Cd hyperaccumulation in Sedum alfredii H
Hyperaccumulating ecotype of Sedum alfredii H. was treated with 1000 μmol·L-1 Zn(NO3)2 or 200 μmol·L-1 CdCl2 for 25 days. Zn and Cd concentrations in plants, total sulphur (S) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in shoots, were detected every 5 days after ...

The Influence of Resurvey Plot Location on Observed Vegetation Change
We compared two relocation approaches in vegetation resurveys to assess how plot location error influences observed temporal vegetation changes, focusing on diversity patterns across two common grassland types in Central Europe. While both approaches yielded overall similar results, resurvey plots located preferentially indicated smaller changes in ...

Critic's Choice Essay: The Limestone Glade
Today, we're going to have a look at a rather special place I refer to as "my limestone glade". A glade is defined as a "grassy open area in a woods." Now, add to this a thin cover of poor soil on a solid, limestone base, a scattering of stunted elms ...

The extreme event of climate change (CC) has become more crucial, and under the current context of CC during the last decade. The cropping system (CS) approach is more appropriate than a suitable and established package of practices for individual crops, as CS interrelates with other components and resources related to sustainable farming under the ...

Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...

Foliar Contributions to Methane and Nitrous Oxide Exchange in Urban Green Roof Systems
Biochar amendment of extensive green roof substrates enhanced foliar methane (CH4) uptake (~3×) and reduced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions across native and stonecrop vegetation. City‐scale extrapolation to Toronto's permitted green roof area indicates measurable, management‐sensitive non‐CO2 mitigation within urban green infrastructure systems ...
