Habitat quality assessment of Atlantic wet heathlands in Serra do Xistral, NW Spain
(Universidad de La Rioja, 2019)
[Abstract] The assessment of habitat quality, especially in semi-natural managed systems, provides a powerful tool for monitoring short and longterm conservation actions. The Erica mackayana Atlantic wet heathlands of the ...
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, ...
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 ...
Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
[Abstract]
Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be ...
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 ...
Changes in Management Shape the Spatial Ecology of Wild Ponies in Relation to Habitat Conservation
(Springer Link, 2022-11-23)
[Abstract] Large herbivores are key regulators of open habitats across the world. Free roaming ponies have a prominent ecological role in many Atlantic landscapes, where different habitats with conservation interest are ...
Comparative Phylogeography of a Restricted and a Widespread Heather: Genetic Evidence of Multiple Independent Introductions of Erica Mackayana Into Ireland From Northern Spain
(The Linnean Society of London, 2023-01-20)
[Abstract] Species of flora and fauna occurring in the west of Ireland and south-west Europe, known as Lusitanian elements, constitute a puzzling case of isolated populations of uncertain origin. Here we studied the ...
The Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function: Enhanced Species-Level Trait Dataset
(Springer Nature, 2022-12-07)
[Abstract] Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, ...
