DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04561-3
Abstract: In South America the biogeographic history has produced different biomes with different vegetation types and distinct floras. As these vegetation types may diverge in evolutionary histories, we analysed how alpha and beta phylogenetic diversity vary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-017-1379-8
Abstract: The simplification of native habitats leads to biodiversity decline in tropical terrestrial ecosystems. We evaluated how conversion of three types of native Cerrado vegetation (open grassland, typical savanna, and woodland savanna) to two human-managed land… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12224-020-09364-6
Abstract: River gravel-bar habitats are highly endangered. They are still well-preserved in the Caucasus, but developing conservation strategies is burdened by the lack of data from this region. We studied vegetation and habitat types on gravel… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2017.06.024
Abstract: Five plant communities, related to elevation above sea level and geological substrata, are recognized in the holm oak forests of Sardinia (Italy). These forests show a considerable inhomogeneous structure due to present day and past… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2016.12.002
Abstract: Abstract Arid environments have long been perceived as simple and homogeneous ecosystems, but slight differences in precipitation, topography and soil attributes result in a variety of distinct plant associations. The availability of different vegetation types… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac444d
Abstract: The maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcmax), a key parameter indicating photosynthetic capacity, is commonly fixed as a constant by vegetation types and/or varies according to empirical scaling functions in Earth system models (ESMs). As such,… read more here.
