Diversity–Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Using elevational gradients as natural laboratories to examine patterns and drivers of biodiversity has a long history in biogeography and ecology. Across mountain ecosystems globally, diversity commonly decreases with increasing elevation.

A case study on the early stage of Pinus nigra invasion and its impact on species composition and pattern in Pannonic sand grassland [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Alien woody species are successful invaders, frequently used for afforestation in regions like semi-arid lands. Shrubs and trees create important microhabitats in arid areas.

Metal Accumulation and Biomass Production in Young Afforestations Established on Soil Contaminated by Heavy Metals

Plants, 2022
The restoration of forest ecosystems on metal-contaminated sites can be achieved whilst producing valuable plant biomass. Here, we investigated the metal accumulation and biomass production of young afforestations on contaminated plots by simulating ...

What Is the Most Suitable Height Range of ALS Point Cloud and LiDAR Metric for Understorey Analysis? A Study Case in a Mixed Deciduous Forest, Pokupsko Basin, Croatia

Remote Sensing, 2022
Understorey evaluation is essential in wildlife habitat management, biomass storage and wildfire suppression, among other areas. The lack of a standardised methodology in the field measurements, and in their subsequent analysis, forces researchers to ...

Comparative Study of Temporal Changes in Pigments and Optical Properties in Sepals of Helleborus odorus and H. niger from Prebloom to Seed Production

Plants, 2021
Helleborus niger is an evergreen species, while H. odorus is an herbaceous understorey species. They both develop flowers before the forest canopy layer closes. Their sepals remain after flowering and have multiple biological functions.

Selection of Nest Material and Summer Nest Location by the Hazel Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) in the Bidstrup Forests, Denmark

Biology, 2023
Hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius) construct summer nests for resting and breeding. The nests are built directly in the vegetation, in tree hollows, or in nest boxes.

Vegetation Analysis of Sapling and Understorey Invaded by Invasive Alien Species (IAS) Bellucia pentamera Naudin in Lembah Harau Sanctuary

Sains Natural, 2023
Bellucia pentamera Naudin, the proliferation across Indonesia, notably in Sumatra, has the potential to lessen biodiversity there. On the other hand, little is known about the effects of its invasion on plants and the ecology. The objective of this study
