Physiological ecology and plant functional traits are often used to explain plant invasion. To gain a better understanding of how traits influence invasion, studies usually compare the invasive plant to a native congener, but there are few conspecific examples in the literature. In North America, the presence of native and introduced genetic lineages of the common reed, Phragmites australis, pr...

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter in plant ecophysiology; it can be used to quantify foliage directly and as a measure of the photosynthetic active and, thus, subject transpiration vegetation. The aim this paper was review work on remote sensing methods estimating LAI across different forest ecosystems, crops grasslands terms platforms, sensors models. To achieve aim, scholarly ar...

In ecological communities, the outcome of plant-plant interactions represents the net effect of positive and negative interactions occurring above and below ground. Untangling these complex relationships can provide a better understanding of mechanisms that underlie plant-plant interactions and enhance our ability to predict population, community, and ecosystem effects of biotic interactions. I...

The brown macroalga Fucus vesiculosus is a foundation species in temperate rocky shores, subjected to seasonally fluctuating environmental conditions. To obtain more complete picture of the seasonality F. ecophysiology northern Baltic Sea, situ photochemistry, elemental ratios and chlorophyll c content alga were investigated field campaigns conducted different months throughout year during 2017...
