Effects of Glyphosate Application on Physiologically Integrated Clones of the Invasive Plant Carpobrotus edulis
(MDPI, 2022-01-12)
[Abstract] Management of invasive alien species is a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Here, we studied the effects of glyphosate application, at 0.06 g/m2 concentration, on physiologically integrated basal and ...
Understanding the Local Drivers of Beta-Diversity Patterns Under Climate Change: The Case of Seaweed Communities in Galicia, North West of the Iberian Peninsula
(Wiley, 2021-07-02)
[Abstract] Aim: To understand spatial-temporal changes (beta-diversity) in coastal communities and their drivers in the context of climate change. Coastal ecosystems are extremely exposed and dynamic, where changes in ...
Soil properties of North Iberian wet heathlands in relation to climate, management and plant community
(Springer Nature, 2022-04-05)
[Abstract]
Background and aims: Heathlands are a broad vegetation type characterized by the dominance of evergreen shrub species that thrive on nutrient-poor soils, thus sensitive to small changes in soil conditions. Here ...
Earthworms Modulate Impacts of Soil Heterogeneity on Plant Growth at Different Spatial Scales
(Frontiers, 2021-12-23)
[Abstract] Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous in nature and can greatly affect plant growth. As earthworm activity can influence nutrient redistribution in the ...
Isolation and characterization of fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers in the viperine snake Natrix maura
(2019)
[Abstract] Nineteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified and developed for Natrix
maura. Polymorphism was assessed for 120 individuals sampled across four sampling
sites from the French Pyrenees Mountains. The ...
Effects of Temporal Heterogeneity in Nutrient Supply on Intra- And Inter-Genet Competition of a Clonal Herb
(Elsevier, 2022-03-04)
[Abstract] Nutrients are often released heterogeneously over time (e.g., in pulses) in natural habitats. Different genotypes of the same plant species may vary in their responses to temporal nutrient heterogeneity so that ...
Temperate Kelp Forest Collapse by Fish Herbivory: A Detailed Demographic Study
(Frontiers, 2022-01-31)
[Abstract] Kelps dominate rocky shores in temperate latitudes, acting as important foundation species. Recently, kelp forests have received growing attention for their decline around the world. Climate change is one of the ...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(John Wiley & Sons, 2020-01-03)
[Abstract]: Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ...
Similar factors underlie tree abundance in forests in native and alien ranges
(Wiley, 2019-12-01)
[Abstract]
Aim: Alien plant species can cause severe ecological and economic problems, and therefore attract a lot of research interest in biogeography and related fields. To identify potential future invasive species, ...
Biodiversity of epiphytic macroalgae (Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta, and Rhodophyta) on leaves of Zostera marina in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas - CSIC, 2019-02-28)
[Abstract] The composition, abundance, and distribution of epiphytic macroalgae living in meadows of Zostera marina L. in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula are here analyzed. We identified 63 species: 40 red algae, 16 ...
