Ecosphere, 2015 Disturbances such as wildfire play a major role in the diversity, structure and composition of plant communities, however, little is known about the differential impacts of fire across landscapes that vary in characteristics such as soil nutrients and ...

Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2023 The native metallophytes species are the optimum choice to restore degraded areas on ultramafic soil. However, a limited restorative floristic survey on the wooded grassland of Mindoro Occidental had been reported. Four 20 m x 20 m plots were established

Plants, 2021 The elemental defense hypothesis supports that metal hyperaccumulation in plant tissues serves as a mechanism underpinning plant resistance to herbivores and pathogens.

PLoS ONE, 2014 Shifts in species' traits across contrasting environments have the potential to influence ecosystem functioning. Plant communities on unusually harsh soils may have unique responses to environmental change, through the mediating role of functional plant ...

Flowering time evolution is independent of serpentine tolerance in the California flora
Ecosphere, 2017 Comparative phylogenetic tests have been only recently applied to the many hypotheses about the role ultramafic (serpentine) soils play in the evolution and ecology of regional floras.

Mediterranean Botany, 2021 The so-called hyperaccumulator plants are capable of storing hundred or thousand times bigger quantities of heavy metals than normal plants, which makes hyperaccumulators very useful in fields such as phytoremediation and phytomining. Among these plants

Serpentine Soils, Adverse Habitat for Plants Case Study at Peninsular [PDF]
, 2013 The unpleasant effect of serpentine soil on plant life has been a topic of many studies for several decades. Infertility and flora selectivity nature of serpentine soils are the features, which made them of interest throughout the world.

Geochemical Transactions, 2018 Serpentine soils and ultramafic laterites develop over ultramafic bedrock and are important geological materials from environmental, geochemical, and industrial standpoints. They have naturally elevated concentrations of trace metals, such as Ni, Cr, and

Seasonal Sulfur Over-Accumulation and Coordinated Nutrient Cycling in Ononis Species With Contrasting Gypsum Affinity. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Gypsum soils present extreme nutrient imbalances, with scarcity of nutrients like N, P, and K and excess of Ca and S, seriously limiting plant growth. Plant species differing in their affinity for gypsum soils display contrasting nutritional strategies.

Adaptation and divergence in edaphic specialists and generalists: serpentine soil endemics in the California flora occur in barer serpentine habitats with lower soil calcium levels than serpentine tolerators [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2019 PremiseAdaptation to harsh edaphic substrates has repeatedly led to the evolution of edaphic specialists and generalists. Yet, it is unclear what factors promote specialization versus generalization. Here, we search for habitat use patterns associated with serpentine endemics (specialists) and serpentine tolerators (generalists) to indirectly test the ...
