Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022 Natural rubber consumption has led to the expansion of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations which affects the deforestation and ecosystem. However, no study of the long-term effect of rubber plantations on soil biodiversity has been carried out yet ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 2068-2081, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Approximately 14% of all fern species have physiologically active chlorophyllous spores that are much more short‐lived than the more common and dormant achlorophyllous spores. Most chlorophyllous‐spored species (70%) are epiphytes and account for almost 37% of all epiphytic ferns.

Soil Biodiversity and the Environment [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2015 Soils represent a significant reservoir of biological diversity that underpins a broad range of key processes and moderate ecosystem service provision. Our understanding of the role that soil organisms play in ecosystems is still developing, but the increased investigation into biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in soils over the past ...

Spatial variation in biodiversity, soil degradation and productivity in agricultural landscapes in the highlands of Tigray, northern Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2009 There is a growing concern about food security and sustainability of agricultural production in developing countries. However, there are limited attempts to quantify agro-biodiversity losses and relate these losses to soil degradation and crop ...

Contributions of understory and/or overstory vegetations to soil microbial PLFA and nematode diversities in Eucalyptus monocultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ecological interactions between aboveground and belowground biodiversity have received many attentions in the recent decades. Although soil biodiversity declined with the decrease of plant diversity, many previous studies found plant species identities ...
