Interaction Effect between Herbivory and Plant Fertilization on Extrafloral Nectar Production and on Seed Traits: An Experimental Study with Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae)
(2016-08-01)
It is known that the release of volatile chemicals by many plants can attract the natural enemies of herbivorous insects. Such indirect interactions are likely when plants produce nectar from their extrafloral nectaries, ...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-01)
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ...
Optimal strategies for sampling functional traits in species-rich forests
(Wiley, 2015-03)
1. Functional traits provide insight into a variety of ecological questions, yet theoptimal sampling method to estimate the community-level distribution of plantfunctional trait values remains a subject of debate, especially ...
Plant intraspecific trait variation correlates positively with species? niche breadth
(2017)
It is assumed that widespread, generalist species have high phenotypic
variation, but we know little about how intraspecific trait variation (ITV)
relates to species abundance and niche breadth. In the temperate
rainforest ...
Effects of plant species traits on ecosystem processes: experiments in the Patagonian steppe
(Ecological Society Of America, 2012-02)
Several experiments have shown that aboveground net primary productivity increases with plant species richness. The main mechanism proposed to explain this relationship is niche complementarity, which is determined by ...
A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile
(Pensoft, 2020)
Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species. Climatic niche traits can overcome ...
Multivariate exploratory approach and influence of six agronomic traits on soybean genotypes selection
(Univ Federal Mato Grosso, 2016-07-01)
A comprehensive analysis for selection of superior genotypes can be useful and necessary. The aim of this study was to select soybean genotypes with superior agronomic traits through the use of multivariate exploratory ...
Can grazing response of herbaceous plants be predicted from simple vegetative traits?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2001-07)
Range manafement is based on the response of plant species and communities to grazing intensity. The identification of easily measured plant functional traits that consistently predict grazin response in a wide spectrum ...
Description of 90 inbred lines of castor plant (Ricinus communis L.)
(Springer, 2015-03-01)
The research describes the field comparison of 90 inbred lines of castor plant derived from both selected and wild germplasm. It was carried out in central-western Italy. An important aim of this work was to describe each ...
