DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-9361-2
Abstract: In this paper, we investigated whether growth form and substrate in lichens influence their physiological responses along an aridity gradient. Thalli of the foliose lichen Parmotrema perlatum and the fruticose lichen Ramalina canariensis were transplanted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07929978.2017.1288477
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe phylogenetic structure of communities (PSC) reveals how evolutionary history affects community assembly processes. However, there are important knowledge gaps on PSC patterns for annual communities and there is a need for studies along environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12717
Abstract: Questions: Leaf nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) concentrations and N : P ratio have been extensively studied along environmental gradients, but whether and how leaves and roots show similar responses to climatic and fertility gradients is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.909603
Abstract: Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) is a critical eco-physiological function allowing plants to adapt to water- and nutrient-limited habitats in arid and semi-arid regions. However, the distribution of iWUE in coexisting species along aridity gradients… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology10101066
Abstract: Simple Summary Plants usually adopt different strategies to adapt to their surrounding environments. Accurately quantifying plant strategies is of great interest in trait-based ecology, in particular to understand the responses of ecological structures and processes.… read more here.
