Functional trade-offs and ecological correlates of seed oil traits in alpine ecosystems. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
This study examines seed oil content patterns in 47 alpine species, revealing a significant trade‐off between seed oil and seed longevity. Abstract Seed oil content is a crucial energy reserve in angiosperms, with effects on biological functions and plant fitness, playing an important role in seed protection from environmental conditions.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

HONGOS MICORRIZÓGENOS ARBUSCULARES ASOCIADOS A LA VEGETACIÓN COSTERA EN CHUBURNÁ, YUCATÁN, MÉXICO

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2013
<p>Plant species that successfully establish in environments of recent formation, such as barrier islands, exhibit life history traits that allow them to efficiently capture nutrients and water, such ability may be largely due to interactions these plants establish with mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).
