Linking plant phenology to conservation biology
(2016-03-01)
Phenology has achieved a prominent position in current scenarios of global change research given its role inmonitoring and predicting the timing of recurrent life cycle events. However, the implications of phenology to ...
Will climate change cause spatial mismatch between plants and their pollinators? A test using Andean cactus species
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
Climate change can disrupt mutualisms by causing temporal or spatial mismatch between interacting species. However, the effects of climate change forecasts on biotic interactions remain poorly studied. In cactus species, ...
Sustainable clean-up technologies for soils contaminated with multiple pollutants: Plant-microbe-pollutant and climate nexus
(2015-09-01)
Soil is a vital life supporting system of the Planet Earth. However, it has been estimated that around 25% the global soils are highly degraded and 44% are moderately degraded mainly due to the pollution of metals and ...
Precipitation and predation risk alter the diversity and behavior of pollinators and reduce plant fitness
(Springer, 2020-02-03)
Biotic and abiotic factors may individually or interactively disrupt plant-pollinator interactions, influencing plant fitness. Although variations in temperature and precipitation are expected to modify the overall impact ...
Prospects for plant productivity: From the canopy to the nucleus
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05)
Population growth has been closely associated with agricultural production, since the first famine predicted by Malthus (1798) up to the Green Revolution of the past century. Today, we continue to face increasing demand ...
Flood-stimulated herbivory drives range retraction of a plant ecosystem
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-06)
Climate change is generating extreme climate events, affecting ecosystem integrity and function directly through increases in abiotic stress and disturbance and indirectly through changes in the strength of biotic interactions. ...
