The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is a vast region of approximately 1,420,000 km(2), with a flora characterized by low species diversity, low endemicity, and little influence by alien species. New records of vascular plant species are documented here based on recent fieldwork on Victoria and Baffin Islands; additional records based on recent literature sources are mentioned. This paper serves as ...

Understanding drivers of species performance is crucial for their effective conservation. Despite a range studies on the effects single biotic and abiotic factors plant performance, very little known about interactions among multiple over time. We studied competition in an endemic Czech Republic, serpentinophyte Minuartia smejkalii, four years. In full factorial experiment, we evaluated M. smej...

Caryophyllaceae is a large angiosperm family, with many species being utilized as ornamental or medicinal plants in Korea, addition to several endangered that are managed by the government. In this study, we used DNA barcoding for accurate identification of Korean Caryophyllaceae. A total 78 taxa (n = 215) were sequenced based on three chloroplast regions (rbcL, matK, and psbA–trnH) nuclear rib...

Plant-plant interaction studies in metalliferous systems have focused either on the role of facilitation or negative effects elemental allelopathy. However, no investigated both these same system, and their relationships with functional strategy nurse species, although this is crucial for ecological restoration polluted sites. We assessed two dominant apparent contrasting strategies, target spe...
