Aims: Light availability varies drastically in forests, both vertically and horizontally. Vertical light heterogeneity (i.e., patterns of light attenuation from the forest canopy to the floor) may be related to light comp...
Regeneration of monsoon rain forest in northern Australia: the sapling bank [0.03%]

As part of a wider study examining regeneration pathways in monsoon rain forest vegetation in northern Australia, a one-off, dry season census of saplings was undertaken along transects sampled at each of 33 relatively undisturbed sites bro...
In situ regeneration of Pinus strobus and P. resinosa in the Great Lakes forest communities of Canada [0.03%]
加拿大五大湖地区林分内的落叶松和红松原地更新研究

T J Carleton et al.
Two extensive forest vegetation survey datasets are explored, using ordination and classification, for evidence of in situ regeneration by Pinus strobus (Eastern white pine) and P. resinosa (Red pine). Ordination of tree species contributio...

Tadham Moor in Somerset, England, is an exceptionally rich wetland site which has been mown for hay for many years, with stock grazing the aftermath, but with no history of any fertilizer use. A randomized blocks field experiment (1986-1989...
Nitrate reductase activity in vegetation below an arctic bird cliff, Svalbard, Norway [0.03%]

Vegetated sites below bird-nesting cliffs are uniquely nutrient-rich habitats in the otherwise nutrient-poor arctic environment. Plants from six distinct vegetation zones below such a cliff at 79° N, Svalbard, Norway, were collected for an...

Meteorological patterns have a decisive influence on the inter-annual dynamics of therophyte pastures under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The germination behaviour of annual pasture species was studied by subjecting two collections of ...
Refining rare weed trait syndromes along arable intensification gradients [0.03%]
沿耕作强化梯度提炼珍稀杂草性状综合症
Gyula Pinke,Richard M Gunton
Gyula Pinke
Question: How does the conservation (rarity) value of arable weed communities differ along intensification gradients? Which functional traits best distinguish the weed communities of more and less extensively managed fiel...
Can plant litter affect net primary production of a typical steppe in Inner Mongolia? [0.03%]
凋落物输入对内蒙古典型草原净第一性生产力的影响研究
Jing Wang,Mengli Zhao,Walter D Willms et al.
Jing Wang et al.
Question: Litter (dead leaves or stems) affects production by conserving soil moisture. However, that role is not clear for grasslands where most precipitation falls during the growing season when the demand for water is high. Our question ...
Closing the gap between plant ecology and Quaternary palaeoecology [0.03%]
bridging植物生态学与第四纪古生态学间的差距
Triin Reitalu,Petr Kuneš,Thomas Giesecke
Triin Reitalu
Ecology and Quaternary palaeoecology have largely developed as parallel disciplines. Although both pursue related questions, information exchange is often hampered by particularities of the palaeoecological data and a communicational gap ha...
Soil stabilization linked to plant diversity and environmental context in coastal wetlands [0.03%]
与植物多样性和环境背景相联系的海岸湿地土壤稳定化
Hilary Ford,Angus Garbutt,Cai Ladd et al.
Hilary Ford et al.
Background: Plants play a pivotal role in soil stabilization, with above-ground vegetation and roots combining to physically protect soil against erosion. It is possible that diverse plant communities boost root biomass, ...
