Number of conspecifics and reproduction in the invasive plant Eschscholzia californica (Papaveraceae): is there a pollinatormediated Allee effect?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
The component Allee effect has been defined as a positive relationship between any measure of individual fitness and the number or density of conspecifics'. Larger plant populations or large patches have shown a higher ...
Effect of a native tree on seedling establishment of two exotic invasive species in a semiarid ecosystem
(2011)
Theory predicts that in more stressful environments, positive plant-plant interactions should be more important than negative ones. For instance, in arid and semiarid regions, amelioration of soil drought produced by the ...
Dynamic simulator and model predictive control of an integrated solar combined cycle plant
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016)
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a dynamic simulator for an ISCC (integrated solar combined cycle) plant. The design of the simulator is based on the phenomenological equations for both a combined cycle ...
Effect of the invasive exotic herb centaurea solstitialis on plant communities of a semiarid ecosystem
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
Background: The effects of many invasive species on invaded communities are still scarcely
known. Centaurea solstitialis is an invasive Eurasian herb, widely distributed around the world,
but its effects on recipient ...
Heterospecific pollen transfer from an exotic plant to native plants: assessing reproductive consequences in an Andean grassland
(2016)
Background: The presence of exotic plants increases the heterospecific pollen (HP hereafter) received by native plants and reduces their reproductive output. Aims: We assessed whether the exotic herb Echium vulgare ...
Exergy cost and thermoeconomic analysis of a Rankine Cycle + Multi-Effect Distillation plant considering time-varying conditions
(Elsevier, 2019)
A detailed exergy cost and thermoeconomic analysis applied to a Rankine Cycle (RC) coupled to a Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) plant was performed. The aim of this work is to identify the impact of design and operating ...
Hunter-gatherer plant resource use during the Holocene in central western Patagonia (Aisén, Chile, South America)
(Springer, 2017)
Recent archaeobotanical studies on hunter-gatherer sites in the steppes of central western Patagonia, Chile, reveal new data on the use of plant resources throughout the Holocene, often previously assumed to be unimportant. ...
Why mistletoes are more aggregated in disturbed forests? The role of differential host mortality
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Mistletoes rely on biotic seed dispersal to ensure their recruitment on appropriate host plants, as their seeds must be deposited on safe sites to allow attachment. As most host-parasite systems, ...
Annual thermoeconomic analysis of a concentrating solar power + photovoltaic + multi-effect distillation plant in northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2020)
A detailed annual performance and thermoeconomic analysis of a Concentrated Solar Power plant coupled to a Photovoltaic and a Multi-Effect Distillation plants (CSP + PV + MED) were performed using an extensive methodology ...
