Large, high-severity wildfires are an important component of disturbance regimes around the world and can influence structure function forest ecosystems. Climatic changes anthropogenic disturbances have altered global patterns increased frequency worldwide. While recovery plant communities at different successional stages after fire is well known, prior stand age poorly understood. Despite this...

Biodiversity and crop productivity are compromised by the ongoing worldwide decline of pollinator insects primarily driven narrow specialization modern agricultural industry, dominated monocultures characterized intensive herbicide pesticide inputs. This approach has double drawback indiscriminately killing both invasive beneficial while pauperizing landscape limiting areas natural vegetation t...

The primary aim of this study was to understand the factors, e.g., harvest frequency and plant community type, that can facilitate optimising phytoextraction in wild macrophyte communities as part a strategy for water-quality improvement resource recovery. This achieved by surveying quantifying standing stocks key nutrient pollutants such N P, range other recoverable macro micro-nutrients (Ca, ...

Background: The genus Amaranthus is taxonomically complex because of its high morphological variability, which led to nomenclatural confusion, misapplication names and misidentifications. Unfortunately, floristic taxonomic studies on this are still incomplete. A population crassipes subsp. warnockii was discovered in Monastir Governorate, Tunisia, representing the first record for both Tunisian...

Abstract Plant functioning depends on variation in resource economics traits (acquisition vs. conservation) and the size of plants their parts (the ‘global spectrum plant form function’). The anatomical basis single (e.g., leaf mass per area; LMA) is generally understood, but little known regarding relationship between trade-offs ecological strategies (representing integrated suites traits). We...

Under the conditions of intensive introduction information technologies into learning practice (presentations, e-books) and various printed media (printed notebooks, dictionaries reference books), teachers everywhere have ceased to perform nature tours, during lessons devoted Surrounding World it becomes common study without nature. Observations laboratory experiments, introduced in 19th centur...

Questions have been raised about the application of conventional post-windthrow forest practices such as salvage logging, site preparation, and afforestation in response to increase wind disturbance caused by climate change. In particular, it is necessary identify effective management that consider pressure from deer browsing forests cold, snowy regions because population ungulates expected inc...

The Grime (1974) CSR framework posits that ecological strategies of competition, stress tolerance and ruderal reflect plants’ adaptability to their survival environments. Karst forests are crucial for terrestrial ecosystem functions. However, how karst regulate plant functional traits in strategy adapt infertile habitats remains unclear. Therefore, we surveyed fifty-three forest plots measured ...

Abstract Sorghum halepense is a synanthropic tall grass distributed worldwide from tropical to temperate zones, and it often considered an invasive alien. It perennial, rhizomatous plant that tends form dense stands derived vegetative sexual propagation. Despite roadside communities dominated by are very common in southern Europe, their phytosociological aspects scarcely studied. In this work, ...

Plant lifespan has important evolutionary, physiological, and ecological implications related to population persistence, community stability, resilience ongoing environmental change impacts. Although biologists have long been puzzled over the extraordinary variation in plant its causes, our understanding of interspecific variability key internal external factors influencing longevity remains li...
