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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Potential Roles of Soil Microorganisms in Regulating the Effect of Soil Nutrient Heterogeneity on Plant Performance [Review]
(MDPI, 2022-12-03)
[Abstract] The spatially heterogeneous distribution of soil nutrients is ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems and has been shown to promote the performance of plant communities, influence species coexistence, and alter ...
The COVID-19 Restrictions and Biological Invasion: A Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Perspective on Propagule Pressure and Invasion Trajectory
(MDPI, 2022-11-09)
[Abstract] Biological invasions driven by climate change, transportation, and intercontinental trade, as well as land-use change and tourism, pose severe threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. However, ...

Foreseeing the Future of Posidonia Oceanica Meadows by Accounting for the Past Evolution of the Mediterranean Sea
(Oxford Academic, 2022-12-01)
[Abstract] The current warming of the Mediterranean Sea has been forecast to lead to the shrinkage of seagrass meadows. We agree that rising sea temperatures most likely will have immediate negative effects on them because ...
Comparative Invasion Ecology of Carpobrotus From Four Continents: Responses to Nutrients and Competition
(Oxford Academic, 2023-01-24)
[Abstract] Two key hypotheses in invasion biology are that certain traits underlie invasiveness in introduced species, and that these traits are selected for during or after introduction. We tested these hypotheses by ...
How Do Plants and Climatic Conditions Control Soil Properties in Hypersaline Tidal Flats?
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
[Abstract] Hypersaline tidal flats (HTF) are ecotones associated with mangrove ecosystems in arid and semiarid coasts. They are predominantly vegetated by halophytes which are related to environmental stabilization and ...
