Invasive‐plant traits, native‐plant traits, and their divergences as invasion factors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11525
Abstract: Abstract Invasive plants exert significant ecological impacts on native plants, communities, and ecosystems. However, consistent conclusions regarding how traits of invasive plants, native plants, and their divergences affect invasion dynamics are still lacking. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5512
Abstract: Abstract Seed dispersal by mammals provides functional connectivity between isolated plant habitat patches. Across much of Europe, red deer (Cervus elaphus) populations are growing steadily, potentially leading to increasing importance of this large mammal species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4756
Abstract: Macropods exhibit selective herbivory on plant traits within and between species and hence can alter plant trait variation. In this study, we asked what are the effects of macropod herbivory on intraspecific variation in plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3454
Abstract: Is it possible to generalize relationships between certain plant traits and soil fertility? In particular, are there quantitative relationships between community weighted mean (CWM) trait values of leaf dry matter content (LDMC), specific leaf area… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rse2.86
Abstract: Abiotic ecosystem properties together with plant species interaction create differences in structural and physiological traits among plant species. Certain plant traits cause a spatial and temporal variation in canopy reflectance that enables the differentiation of… read more here.

The interspecific variation of plant traits in brassicas engenders stronger aphid suppression than the intraspecific variation of single plant trait

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-021-01421-z
Abstract: Increasing either inter- or intraspecific plant diversity has shown the potential to engender bottom-up and top-down effects upon herbivorous pests. Nonetheless, because interspecific plant diversity is likely to pose logistical challenges to farmers, the use… read more here.

The influence of soil resources and plant traits on invasion and restoration in a subtropical woodland

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-017-0757-3
Abstract: It has been shown in some cases that nitrogen (N) addition to soil will increase abundance of plant invaders because many invaders have traits that promote rapid growth in response to high resource supply. Similarly,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2019.05.004
Abstract: Abstract Submerged macrophyte vegetation provides valuable ecosystem services, but climate- and management-driven changes may alter plant traits in unexpected and interactive ways. Further, such changes in plant traits may influence herbivore response, with feedback to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104408
Abstract: Abstract Animal pollination is one of the most important ecosystem services that benefit both natural plant communities and plant crops. A failure in pollination service can result in pollen limitation of fruit and seed set.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s026646741700030x
Abstract: Abstract: Environmental productivity is important in determining defensive or tolerance traits of plants, with nutrient-rich savannas showing tolerance and nutrient-poor showing defence traits. Animals are affected differently by such traits due to differences in size,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-02595-2
Abstract: To improve understanding of how global warming may affect competitive interactions among plants, information on the responses of plant functional traits across species to long-term warming is needed. Here we report the effect of 23… read more here.
