The choice of seed tracking method influenced fate of beech seeds dispersed by rodentsPlant Ecology - Tập 214 Số 3 - Trang 471-475 - 2013
Wróbel, Aleksandra, Zwolak, Rafał
We tracked seeds of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) dispersed by rodents in
Gorzowska Forest (western Poland). We used two seed labeling methods, marking
with UV-fluorescent powder and with plastic tags, to test whether using
different marking methods influences results of seed tracking. The removal rates
did not differ among seeds marked with UV-powder, seeds labeled with tags, and
unmanipulated... hiện toàn bộ
Survival and growth of Juniperus seedlings in Juniperus woodlandsPlant Ecology - Tập 175 - Trang 245-257 - 2005
O. W. Van Auken, J. T. Jackson, P. N. Jurena
Juniperus woodlands are widely distributed in western North America. Few studies
of seedling emergence, long-term survival, growth or mortality of the dominant
Juniperus spp. in these woodlands have been carried out. Consequently,
regeneration dynamics in these woodlands are poorly understood. Juniperus ashei
is the dominant woody plant in the majority of woodland and savanna communities
of the Ed... hiện toàn bộ
Climate refugia for Pinus spp. in topographic and bioclimatic environments of the Madrean sky islands of México and the United StatesPlant Ecology - Tập 223 - Trang 577-598 - 2022

Climate refugia, or places where habitats are expected to remain relatively
buffered from regional climate extremes, provide an important focus for science
and conservation planning. Within high-priority, multi-jurisdictional landscapes
like the Madrean sky islands of the United States and México, efforts to
identify and manage climate refugia are hindered by the lack of high-quality and
consisten... hiện toàn bộ
Diversity of wetland vegetation in the Bulgarian high mountains, main gradients and context-dependence of the pH rolePlant Ecology - Tập 184 - Trang 111-130 - 2006
Petra Hájková, Michal Hájek, Iva Apostolova
We fill a gap in understanding wetland vegetation diversity and relationship
with environmental determinants in Bulgarian high mountains. A total of 615
phytosociological samples were taken from springs, mires, wet meadows and
tall-forb habitats throughout Bulgaria, of which 234 relevés are from mire and
spring vegetation above timberline. The vegetation was classified by TWINSPAN
and the resultin... hiện toàn bộ
Fire season affects size and architecture of Colophospermum mopane in southern African savannasPlant Ecology - Tập 167 - Trang 179-192 - 2003
A.D. Kennedy, A.L.F. Potgieter
Wildfires may be started naturally by lightning or artificially by humans. In
the savanna regions of southern Africa, lightning fires tend to occur at the
start of the wet season, during October and November, while anthropogenic fires
are usually started during the dry season, between July and August. A long-term
field manipulation experiment initiated in the Kruger National Park in 1952 was
used ... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term change in calcareous grassland vegetation and drivers over three time periods between 1970 and 2016Plant Ecology - Tập 221 - Trang 377-394 - 2020
Lucy E. Ridding, James M. Bullock, Oliver L. Pescott, Peter Hawes, Robin Walls, M. Glória Pereira, Sarah A. Thacker, Patrick O. Keenan, Ulrike Dragosits, Richard F. Pywell
Analysis of long-term vegetation change is limited. Furthermore most studies
evaluating change only examine two snapshots in time, which makes it difficult
to define rates of change and accurately assess potential drivers. To assess
long-term change in calcareous grassland over multiple time periods, we
re-surveyed a transect study undertaken at Parsonage Down National Nature
Reserve, Wiltshire, s... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting invasion dynamics of four alien Pinus species in a highly fragmented semi-arid shrubland in South AfricaPlant Ecology - Tập 152 - Trang 79-92 - 2001
Mathieu Rouget, David M. Richardson, Sue J. Milton, Daniel Polakow
This study explored the determinants of spread of four alien Pinus species and
the ability of models to predict invasion dynamics in a complex fragmented
landscape. The role of environmental factors, natural and anthropogenic
disturbance in relation to invasion history was assessed for different stages in
the invasion process using a Geographic Information System. Pines escaped from
plantations ov... hiện toàn bộ
