Fragmentation affects plant community composition over time
across ecosystems. In part this deficit is due to the fact that the most frequently used metric in long term datasets, species richness, obscures compositional shifts (Magurran and Henderson 2010, Dornelas et al. 2014). Importantly, changes in community composition can have cascading effects on ecosystem properties (Tabarelli et al. 2012), highlighting a pressing need for a better understanding...
متن کاملEcological niche modeling of invasive alien plant species in a protected landscape
Non-native plants that can cause adverse effects are otherwise known as invasive alien plant species which pose a major threat to plant biodiversity conservation and sustainability. This study is dedicated to determine the plant diversity and to assess the vulnerability of Quezon Protected Landscape, Southern Luzon, the Philippines to invasive alien plant species. Data from 90 10x10 m randomly ...
متن کاملRhizosphere microbial community composition affects cadmium and zinc uptake by the metal-hyperaccumulating plant Arabidopsis halleri.
The remediation of metal-contaminated soils by phytoextraction depends on plant growth and plant metal accessibility. Soil microorganisms can affect the accumulation of metals by plants either by directly or indirectly stimulating plant growth and activity or by (im)mobilizing and/or complexing metals. Understanding the intricate interplay of metal-accumulating plants with their rhizosphere mic...
متن کاملDeviation from niche optima affects the nature of plant-plant interactions along a soil acidity gradient.
There is increasing recognition of the importance of niche optima in the shift of plant-plant interactions along environmental stress gradients. Here, we investigate whether deviation from niche optima would affect the outcome of plant-plant interactions along a soil acidity gradient (pH = 3.1, 4.1, 5.5 and 6.1) in a pot experiment. We used the acid-tolerant species Lespedeza formosa Koehne as ...
متن کاملSeed Density Significantly Affects Species Richness and Composition in Experimental Plant Communities
Studies on the importance of seed arrival for community richness and composition have not considered the number of seeds arriving and its effect on species richness and composition of natural communities is thus unknown. A series of experimental dry grassland communities were established. All communities were composed of the same 44 species in exactly the same proportions on two substrates usin...
