DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11487
Abstract: Abstract Premise Aquatic macrophyte species abundance and nutrient affinity are used in metrics to assess the trophic condition of lakes and rivers. The development of these indices is often regional, with inter‐regional comparisons being complicated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10933-018-0036-x
Abstract: AbstractMacrofossils are known as a useful tool in reconstructing their original plant communities. However, most studies have been focused on comparing the composition and distribution of living plant communities and their remains in temperate lakes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.seares.2017.06.007
Abstract: Abstract Marine intertidal regions are physically stressful habitats. In such an environment, facilitator species and positive interactions mitigate unfavorable conditions to the benefit of less tolerant organisms. In sponge–brittle star association, sponges effectively shelter brittle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpw098
Abstract: The plant economics spectrum that integrates the combination of leaf and wood syndromes provides a useful framework for the examination of species strategies at the whole-plant level. However, it remains unclear how species that differ… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1064344
Abstract: Water supply and demand in leaves are primarily determined by stomatal density (SD, water demand) and minor leaf vein density (VLA, water supply). Thus, covariation between them is essential for maintaining water balance. However, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants10081581
Abstract: Differences in the elemental composition of plants, mainly C, N, and P, have been shown to be related to differences in their nutritional status, and their morphological and functional traits. The relationship between morphological traits… read more here.
