Plant community resilience in the face of fire: experimental evidence from a semi‐arid shrubland
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-02)
The ability of communities or ecosystems to recover their structure and function after a disturbance is known as resilience. According to different views, resilience can be influenced by the resource-use strategies of the ...
Foliar resistance to simulated extreme temperature events in contrasting plant functional and chorological types
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2002-11)
We analysed leaf resistance of 41 Angiosperms belonging to a wide range of plant functional (PFTs) and chorological types (PCTs) to simulated frost and high-temperature extreme events (EE). Leaf resistance was estimated ...
Plant functional types in Brazilian savannas: The niche partitioning between herbaceous and woody species
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer VerlagJenaAlemanha, 2011)
Differential growth response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant density in two wild plants belonging to contrasting functional types
(Springer, 2009-05-15)
The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on plant growth was examined in two wild plant species belonging to contrasting functional types: an annual forb (Bidens pilosa, Asteraceae) and a deciduous shrub (Acacia ...
Neighbourhood structure and light availability influence the variations in plant design of shrubs in two cloud forests of different successional status
(Annals of Botany, 2016-07)
Background and Aims Plant design refers to the construction of the plant body or its constituent parts in terms of form and function. Although neighbourhood structure is recognized as a factor that limits plant survival ...
Diversity of plants and mammals as indicators of the effects of land management types in woodlands
(Springer, 2021-12)
Background: The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always responded in the same way to disturbances, and ...
Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation on shoot and root decomposition of different plant species and species mixtures
(Elsevier, 2010-11)
We studied the decomposition of shoot and root tissues of four plant species from central Argentina belonging to contrasting functional types: a deciduous shrub (Acacia caven), a perennial forb (Hyptis mutabilis), an annual ...
Vive la différence: Plant functional diversity matters to ecosystem processes
(Elsevier Science London, 2001)
Spatial patterns and climate relationships of major plant traits in the new world differ between woody and herbaceous species
(Wiley, 2018)
Aim: Despite several recent efforts to map plant traits and to identify their climatic drivers, there are still major gaps. Global trait patterns for major functional groups, in particular, the differences between woody ...
A handbook for the standardised sampling of plant functional traits in disturbance-prone ecosystems, with a focus on open ecosystems
(2020-12-01)
Plant functional traits provide a valuable tool to improve our understanding of ecological processes at a range of scales. Previous handbooks on plant functional traits have highlighted the importance of standardising ...
