Wetland plants actively provide oxygen for aerobic processes in submerged tissues and the rhizosphere. The novel concomitant assessment of diurnal dynamics of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations under field conditions tests the whole-system interactions in plant-internal gas exchange and regulation. Oxygen concentrations ([O2]) were monitored in-situ in central culm and rhizome pith caviti...

Ladakh’s cropped and non-cropped areas suffer greatly from weedy invasion under subsistence agricultural system where weeding is not a priority but total crop + weed biomass together contribute to livestock feeding significantly. As agriculture along with rearing major activity of livelihood options, thereby contributing significantly Ladakh economy income generation for supporting resource poo...

Invasive plants often successfully occupy large areas encompassing broad environmental gradients in their invaded range, yet how invader dominance and effects on ecological communities vary across the landscape has rarely been explored. Furthermore, while impacts of invasion plant are well studied, it is not understood whether responses above-ground (plant) below-ground (microbial) coupled. Her...

Biological invasion has been one of the reasons that coastal wetlands gradually lose their ecological services. The current study investigates spread a commonly found invasive species in Northeastern US, Phragmites australis. Within relatively pristine wetland complex New Jersey, we collected high-resolution multispectral remote sensing images for eight years (2011–2018), both winter and summer...
