DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4602
Abstract: Abstract As global climate change leads to warmer and dryer conditions in the central Andes, alpine plant communities are forced to upward displacements following their climatic niche. Species range shifts are predicted to have major… read more here.

Defoliation and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shape plant communities in overgrazed semiarid grasslands.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2401
Abstract: Overgrazing substantially contributes to global grassland degradation by decreasing plant community productivity and diversity through trampling, defoliation, and removal of nutrients. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi also play a critical role in plant community diversity, composition,… read more here.

Clonality-dependent dynamic change of plant community in temperate grasslands under nitrogen enrichment
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4317-x
Abstract: Clonal plants with diverse growth forms are dominant in plant community of temperate grasslands and sensitive to enhanced atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. However, whether and how clonal plants with different growth forms differ in their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-018-6964-0
Abstract: In most grassland ecosystems, the effects of mean temperature increase on plant communities have been investigated; however, the effects of climate fluctuations on local plant community metrics are much less well understood. We conducted a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04137-3
Abstract: AimsSoil food webs include multiple groups of organisms that each can favor or repress particular plant species in a plant community. This study explores how microbes and nematodes alter the temporal dynamics of specific plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40333-020-0009-6
Abstract: Succession is one of the central themes of ecology; however, the relationship between aboveground plant communities and underground soils during secondary succession remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the composition of plant community, plant-soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2018.05.007
Abstract: Abstract Gold mining has increased sharply in response to global demand. Gold extraction usually causes the formation of tailing dams, in which organic matter and microbial activity decrease, and this consequently constrains plant growth. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.03.007
Abstract: Abstract In the case of ecological stresses, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be overproduced in plant cells, leading to lipid peroxidation that causes damage or death to cells. To prevent damage, plant tissues contain several… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.04.021
Abstract: Abstract We use conditions defining growing space (e.g., sum of all relevant biotic and abiotic factors) to systematically associate forested stands with likely native plant community (NPC) classifications. We develop and test imputation methodology to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.04.043
Abstract: Abstract Native plant community (NPC) classifications typically require on-site visits and in-depth observations by trained ecologists. The goal is to identify unique floristic and environmental characteristics indicative of a particular plant community, ecosystem, or demographic… read more here.
