Abstract Background Wildfires are important global disturbances influencing ecosystem structure and composition. The moisture content of living senescent plant components key determinants wildfire activity, yet our understanding how seasonal fluctuations in water availability biomass control live foliar (LFMC) across co-occurring functional types is limited diverse forested landscapes. Results ...

The precipitation changes induced by climate warming have substantially increased extreme and seasonal drought events. Different plant functional types (PFTs) could exert an important role in resisting climate. However, the patterns of water uptake different PFTs remain uncertain, especially under magnitudes rainfall Here, we employed a stable hydrogen isotope (δD) to determine sources PFTs, in...

BACKGROUND Habitat loss is one of the principal causes of the current pollinator decline. With agricultural intensification, increasing urbanisation is among the main drivers of habitat loss. Consequently studies focusing on pollinator community structure along urbanisation gradients have increased in recent years. However, few studies have investigated how urbanisation affects plant-pollinator...
