A preliminary proposal for an original classification of garden plants based on the study of their phenological periodicity and their side-runs

open access: yesHorticultural Science, 2011
A model group of garden plants (shrubs) was used to observe and evaluate phenological periodicity and new ways of its practical use in landscaping. The experiment focused on the aesthetically most impressive phenophases - full bloom and full coloration ...

Exploring the anthelmintic properties of Australian native shrubs with respect to their potential role in livestock grazing systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We measured in vitro anthelmintic activity in extracts from 85 species of Australian native shrub, with a view to identifying species able to provide a degree of worm control in grazing systems.

Expansion of deciduous tall shrubs but not evergreen dwarf shrubs inhibited by reindeer in Scandes mountain range

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2017
One of the most palpable effects of warming in Arctic ecosystems is shrub expansion above the tree line. However, previous studies have found that reindeer can influence plant community responses to warming and inhibit shrubification of the tundra.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.
