Exotic species predominates in the urban woody flora of central Chile [PDF]
Gayana - Botanica, 2018 The expansion of cities promotes the replacement of local biotas with exotic species causing a decrease in global diversity. As urbanization continues to expand, efforts directed towards the conservation within urban landscapes could support ...

Woody Plant Life-Form Structure Reflects Major Ecological Gradients Within a Protected Temperate Ecosystem from Romania [PDF]
PlantsThis study, conducted in the Cheile Nerei–Beușnița National Park (southwestern Romania), tested the hypothesis that the life-form structure of woody plants reflects the main ecological gradients of moisture, temperature, and soil reaction in a temperate ...

Climatic niche lability but growth form conservatism in the African woody flora [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2022 AbstractClimatic niche evolution during the diversification of tropical plants has received little attention in Africa. To address this, we characterised the climatic niche of >4000 tropical African woody species, distinguishing two broad bioclimatic groups (forest vs. savanna) and six subgroups. We quantified niche conservatismversuslability at the

Heterogeneity of the woody flora of swamp forests in southeastern and southern Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2014 Swamp forests are associated with hydromorphic soils and are naturally fragmented in their distribution. Several local phytosociological surveys on the woody flora of these forests have been conducted in southeastern and southern Brazil.

Postfire responses of the woody flora of Central Chile: Insights from a germination experiment. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Fire is a selective agent shaping plant traits and community assembly in fire-prone ecosystems. However, in ecosystems with no fire history, it can be a cause of land degradation when it is suddenly introduced by humans, as plant species may not be able to respond to such novel disturbance. Unlike other Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTE) of the world,

Woody flora of Uruguay: inventory and implication within the Pampean region [PDF]
Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2012 Adequate knowledge of a flora is fundamental for furthering research in several disciplines. In this context, our work arises from the necessity to update and improve available information on the native woody flora of Uruguay. The goals of this study were to objectively determine the Uruguayan native woody flora (shrub and trees), to evaluate its ...

Biogeographic analysis of the woody plants of the Southern Appalachians: Implications for the origins of a regional flora [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2015 • Premise of the study: We investigated the origins of 252 Southern Appalachian woody species representing 158 clades to analyze larger patterns of biogeographic connectivity around the northern hemisphere. We tested biogeographic hypotheses regarding the timing of species disjunctions to eastern Asia and among areas of North America.• Methods: We ...

Inter-regional beta-diversity patterns of the woody flora of Greece
Annals of Forest Research, 2019 This study aimed to estimate and explain the compositional differentiation and observed beta-diversity (partitioned as turnover and nestedness) patterns of woody species in Greece. Specifically, the 13 phytogeographical regions of Greece were compared at

Phylogenetic conservatism and coordination in traits of Chinese woody endemic flora
iScienceSummary: Range-limited endemic species, often labeled as endangered due to their low adaptability to climate change, exhibit unclear evolutionary mechanisms influencing their distribution. This study explores the relationship between leaf length, maximum
