Total RNA extraction from strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) and several other woody-plants

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2008
Studies of plant gene expression today need pure preparations of high-yielding undegraded RNA. This is not easily accomplished when working with plants and tissues like strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) leaves that accumulate large amounts of ...

Ground spider communities in experimentally disturbed Mediterranean woodland habitats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The protected Mediterranean woodland habitats in Israel are undergoing tree encroachment, resulting in loss of open patches with herbaceous vegetation. We suggested that this process results in a ground spider community dominated by shade-loving species.

Agricultural expansion in Uruguayan grasslands and priority areas for vertebrate and woody plant conservation

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2020
Habitat loss due to land-use change is the greatest threat to biodiversity on a global scale, and agriculture has been the principal driver of change.

Time for a plant structural economics spectrum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We argue that tree and crown structural diversity can and should be integrated in the whole-plant economics spectrum. Ecologists have found that certain functional trait combinations have been more viable than others during evolution, generating a trait ...

Woody plant encroachment enhances soil infiltrability of a semiarid karst savanna

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications, 2020
Semiarid karst landscapes are often the source areas for regionally important groundwater supplies. Like savannas across the globe, these landscapes are experiencing an increase in woody plant cover—often referred to as woody plant encroachment. Although

Understanding woody plant encroachment: a plant functional trait approach

open access: yesEcological Monographs, 2023
The increase in the density of woody plants threatens the integrity of grassy ecosystems. It remains unclear if such encroachment can be explained mostly by direct effects of soil conditions and hydrology on woody plant growth or by indirect effects on fire regime and herbivory imposing tree recruitment limitation.

Woody plant subregions of the Amazon forest

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2020
The Amazon forest covers 7.5 million km2 in nine countries, hosts 25% of the global biodiversity and is a major contributor to the biogeochemical and climatic functioning of the Earth system. Despite its global importance, a regionalization of the Amazon

Exploring Lactobacillus plantarum on Fermentation Quality, Gas Emissions, and In Vitro Digestibility of Different Varieties of Litchi Leaves Silage

open access: yesFermentation, 2023
To investigate the feasibility of developing litchi leaves as silage, we determined the fermentation quality of four varieties of litchi leaves (including “Wanpu”, “Wuyejiu”, “Tongzai” and “Zhuangyuanhong”) ensiled with or without Lactobacillus plantarum

Spatial vegetation patterns and neighborhood competition among woody plants in an East African savanna [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The majority of research on savanna vegetation dynamics has focused on the coexistence of woody and herbaceous vegetation. Interactions among woody plants in savannas are relatively poorly understood.
