Fire and forage quality: Postfire regrowth quality and pyric herbivory in subtropical grasslands of Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Given the widespread use of fire as a cost‐effective grassland management tool in subtropical monsoon grasslands in the Cwa climate region, it is important to realize that the positive benefit of a single event fire for the conservation of large herbivores is time specific, as the effect of fire on forage quality perhaps lasts only for short period ...

Plant-Earthworm Interaction Favors Invasive Alien Plants Over Natives in Cd-Contaminated Environments. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated the impact of Cd pollution and earthworms on the growth of native and invasive plant species across different functional groups. Our findings revealed a mutually beneficial relationship between earthworms and invasive species in Cd‐contaminated environments, which enhances the competitive advantage of invasives over natives.
