Multiple stages of tree seedling recruitment are altered in tropical forests degraded by selective logging

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Tropical forest degradation is a global environmental issue. In degraded forests, seedling recruitment of canopy trees is vital for forest regeneration and recovery. We investigated how selective logging, a pervasive driver of tropical forest degradation,

Heterosis in crosses between remnant populations of the rare prairie forb Silene regia: Implications for restoration genetics

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Calls to adopt seed‐sourcing strategies in biological restoration that preserve local adaptation while maximizing genetic variation (e.g., regional admixture provenancing) are increasingly common. Heterosis, the increased fitness of progeny from crosses between populations relative to progeny from crosses within populations, could ...

Below-Plant Mirrors Improve Serianthes Seedling Survival and Growth in Shade

Agronomy
Recruitment failures of Serianthes nelsonii are among the threats to this species’ recovery, yet adaptive management research to understand the causes of seedling mortality is lacking.

Kikuyu grass clippings as a bioeconomy feedstock: influence of pyrolysis conditions on biochar properties and its effect on the growth of Swiss chard

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The integration of urban organic waste streams into the bioeconomy is critical for advancing the water–food–energy nexus. Grass clippings, an abundant and underutilized municipal residue, represent a promising feedstock for producing value‐added materials.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Microscale Assessment of Brush Packing Mulch as a Method for Enhancing Soil Moisture Content and Promoting Delayed Grass Seedling Mortality of Subtropical Grasses

Plant-Environment Interactions
Recurring droughts in South Africa's dryland rangelands have profound effects on ecosystem health. Consequently, identifying sustainable soil moisture content techniques is critical for enhancing plant growth to support ecosystem function.

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and
