Co-development of biocrust and herbaceous plant communities in sandy areas after cyanobacterial inoculation
AimsThe artificial cultivation of cyanobacterial crusts represents a novel technique for sand stabilization. Herbaceous plants are the main...

Shrubs facilitate herbaceous communities in a desert by modifying soil properties
Background and aimsIn deserts, some shrubs can facilitate their associated herbaceous communities. Here we tested the hypothesis that such a positive...

The effects of co-invasion by three Asteraceae invasive alien species on plant taxonomic and functional diversity in herbaceous ruderal communities in southern Jiangsu, China
Invasive alien species can affect plant taxonomic and functional diversity. Multiple invasive alien species can co-invade the same plant community....

Warming affects herbaceous germination, early survival, and growth by shifting plant-soil microbe interactions in an alpine ecosystem
Background and aimsPlant interactions with soil microbes are important drivers of biodiversity and dynamics of alpine plant communities. However,...

Analysis of exogenous lactic acid bacteria on growth and development of different herbaceous peony varieties and rhizosphere soil nutrients
There are replanting problems in the production of herbaceous peony. If ramet seedlings are replanted in the original planting hole, they weaken...

Dispersal and persistence traits inform long-term herbaceous plant community change in encroached savannas
Savanna plant communities are highly diverse, characterized by an open-canopy structure with rich herbaceous diversity, and maintained by frequent...
-
Soil mesofauna and herbaceous vegetation patterns in an agroforestry landscape
Numerous studies have emphasised the ecological importance of linear and insular uncropped habitats, including forest shelterbelts, patches, and...

The bulk of a plant hotspot: composition, species richness and conservation status of the Cerrado herbaceous–subshrub flora
The Cerrado is a Neotropical savanna with the highest plant species richness among tropical savannas. Most of these species are herbs and subshrubs,...

Counteracting effects of soil biota on emergence and growth of herbaceous plants
BackgroundPlants condition the biotic composition of their rhizosphere. In turn, this plant legacy on the soil biota may affect the performance of...

Conflicting edge influence on herbaceous species in open areas vs. underneath oak trees in forest fragments in Iran
Since the type of forest influences vegetation patterns from the edge-to-interior forest, site-specific edge studies are needed but there have been...

Effects of biogeographical origin on the flowering phenology of exotic plant communities
Although numerous attempts have been made to clarify traits associated with the invasiveness of exotic species, the effect of the biogeographical...

North Carolina Coastal Plain Ditch Types Support Distinct Hydrophytic Communities
The drainage ditches of the North Carolina Coastal Plain retain ecological structural characteristics of the wetlands they often replace. We surveyed...
-
Aboveground and belowground biogeochemical niche separation between woody and herbaceous species explains their coexistence in subtropical plantations
Background and aimsThe differences in multi-elemental concentrations among plant species provide insightful information for understanding species...

The Effects of Legacy Sediment Removal and Floodplain Reconnection on Riparian Plant Communities
Stream restoration includes a number of different approaches intended to reduce sediment and nutrient export. Legacy sediment removal (LSR) and...

Herbaceous plant diversity in forest ecosystems: patterns, mechanisms, and threats
Studies conducted in forests have resulted in much of the ecological theory we build upon today. However, our basic understanding of forest ecology...

Snowmelt influence on phenological events of herbaceous plants in alpine region of West Himalaya
The snowmelt timing is a major factor controlling plant phenology in alpine regions. Presently, the warming is pushing forward snowmelt timing which...

Hydrogeochemical Influence on the Nitrogen and Phosphorus Concentration and Stocks in Herbaceous Karst Wetlands
Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were quantified in interstitial water, soil, and the roots of Cladium jamaicense Crantz from four herbaceous...
-
Trees and herbaceous vegetation strips both contribute to changes in soil fertility and soil organism communities in an agroforestry system
PurposeAlley crop** systems introduce herbaceous strips planted with trees into cropped fields. While such systems may have a positive effect on...
