Removal and insertion of pollinia in flowers of Oxypetalum (Asclepiadaceae) in southeastern Brazil
(Revista de Biología Tropical, 2018)
A multi-species assessment of post-dispersal seed predation in the central Chilean Andes
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2006-07)
Background and Aims Post-dispersal seed predation in alpine communities has received little attention despite evidence that seeds removed by granivores can decrease plant recruitment into ecosystems. Moreover, few studies ...
Boron and sulfate removal using rice husk as filtration material in horizontal flow constructed wetlands microcosms
(North Carolina State University, 2019)
Constructed wetlands (CW) are being explored as an alternative treatment for boron removal. The efficiency of CW strongly depends on the substrate and plants used. A promising and inexpensive substrate is rice husk. This ...
Aquatic macrophytes potential for the simultaneous removal of heavy metals (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-11)
Heavy metal removal from water has been approached by using different technologies. Phytotechnologies, with an increasing development during the last two decades, involve using plants for metal removal. Three autochthonous ...
Do we need intervention after pine tree removal? The use of different management techniques to enhance Cerrado natural regeneration
(2019-01-01)
Some Cerrado areas are suppressed by pine tree cultivation. These monoculture processes can exclude the fire presence and inhibit native species development. In Southeastern Brazil, thousands of hectares were planted with ...
Leaf litter hides post-dispersed seeds from invasive alien removers in a sclerophyll forest in central Chile
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, España, 2020)
Aim of study: Seed removal may be a determining filter for regeneration. Factors such as leaf litter, tree cover and seed density affect seed removal. This aims to assess three aspects involving on post dispersal seed ...
Similarity in seed removal patterns of four tree species in active and passive restoration treatments of the tropical seasonal forest after 23 years
(2021-11-01)
Seed removal has been considered an important ecological filter in plant community assembly during the first years of restoration. However, little is known about the influence of the restored ecosystems attributes on seed ...
Functional diversity revealed by removal experiments
(Elsevier Science London, 2003-03)
The dominant protocol to study the effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning has involved synthetically assembled communities, in which the experimental design determines species composition. By contrast, the ...
Seed removal by ants from faeces produced by different vertebrate species
(Universite Laval, 2005-01-01)
Ants frequently harvest seeds from faeces of frugivorous vertebrates. By transporting these seeds to nests, ants may influence seed dispersal success of plants. Seed removal by ants from vertebrate faeces is influenced by ...
