Divergent evapotranspiration partition dynamics between shrubs and grasses in a shrub-encroached steppe ecosystem.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2018
Previous evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning studies have usually neglected competitions and interactions between antagonistic plant functional types.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Arctic shrubification mediates the impacts of warming climate on changes to tundra vegetation

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
Climate change has been observed to expand distributions of woody plants in many areas of arctic and alpine environments—a phenomenon called shrubification.

Preliminary Analysis of AIS Spectral Data Acquired from Semi-arid Shrub Communities in the Owens Valley, California [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Spectral characteristics of semic-arid plant communities using 128 channel airborne imaging spectrometer (AIS) data acquired on October 30, 1984. Both field and AIS spectra of vegetation were relatively featureless and differed from substrate spectra ...

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Tundra shrub effects on growing season energy and carbon dioxide exchange

open access: yes, 2018
Increased shrub cover on the Arctic tundra is expected to impact ecosystem-atmosphere exchanges of carbon and energy resulting in feedbacks to the climate system, yet few direct measurements of shrub tundra-atmosphere exchanges are available to ...

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Effort required for sustained management of non‐native shrubs drops dramatically over time in a deciduous forest

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Non‐native plants are a major obstacle in the restoration and management of eastern North American forests. Non‐native species, particularly woody shrubs, can be difficult to remove and are extremely persistent, thus consuming much of the time and ...
