Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony
The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Dark diversity in temperate forests of northeastern China: drivers and implications
Understanding the species composition of a community, including those species present and those absent but potentially able to occur, is vital for assessing biodiversity changes and informing conservation planning. Typically, studies focus on observed taxonomic diversity but ignore undetected species expected to be present based on co‐occurrence ...

Seed dispersal by frugivores facilitates plant reproduction, enhancing germination and seedling survival by reducing risks like diseases and predation under parent trees and potentially directing seeds to favorable sites. Elephants, in particular, are known to strongly impact forests via their seed dispersal patterns because of their ability to ...
