Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Growth of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) plants affected by salinity

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effect of salt stress on the growth of the cape gooseberry. Sixty-seven-day-old cape gooseberry plants were surveyed in perlite pot cultures salinized with varying concentrations of NaCl, i.e.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

Leaf Trait Divergence and Elevational Adaptation in Endangered Fagus hayatae: Conservation Insights for an East Asian Paleoendemic

Ecology and Evolution
Fagus hayatae Palib. ex Hayata, an endangered East Asian paleoendemic species, dominates in Sichuan's Micang Mountain while persisting in fragmented populations across Taiwan and mainland China. Nevertheless, niche differentiation and adaptive strategies

Leaf Functional Traits Diversity of Mango Wild Relatives (Mangifera spp.)

Jurnal Biodjati
There are 69 species of Mangifera distributed worldwide, and approximately 35-40 of these species are found in tropical Asia. This widespread distribution naturally affects the functional characteristics of Mangifera species.

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Patterns and relationships of plant traits, community structural attributes, and eco-hydrological functions during a subtropical secondary succession in central Yunnan, Southwest China [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009
Human-induced changes in land use lead to major changes in plant community composition and structure which have strong effects on eco-hydrological processes and functions.

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...
