Native Trees of the Mediterranean Region: Distribution, Diversity and Conservation Challenges Open
Purpose of Review While 38% of tree species are at risk of extinction worldwide, their inventory and occurrence at ecologically and biogeographically meaningful scales is lacking in many parts of the world, including the biodiversity-rich …

Using warming tolerances to predict understory plant responses to climate change Open
Climate change is pushing species towards and potentially beyond their critical thermal limits. The extent to which species can cope with temperatures exceeding their critical thermal limits is still uncertain. To better assess species' re…

Thermal differences between juveniles and adults increased over time in European forest trees Open
Woody species' requirements and environmental sensitivity change from seedlings to adults, a process referred to as ontogenetic shift. Such shifts can be increased by climate change. To assess the changes in the difference of temperature e…

Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes Open
Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions. The germination response to light is essential …

Effects of light, temperature, salinity, and maternal habitat on seed germination of <i>Aeluropus lagopoides</i> (Poaceae): an economically important halophyte of arid Arabian deserts Open
In this study, salt tolerance during germination of Aeluropus lagopoides (L.) Trin. was tested using fresh seeds collected from three different maternal habitats under three thermoperiods and two light regimes. Additionally, we tested the …

Effects of Mineral Soil and Forest Floor on the Regeneration of Pedunculate Oak, Beech and Red Oak Open
Early regeneration is a critical life stage that affects the future species composition of forests. Knowledge about regeneration success under different environmental conditions allows better understanding of forest dynamics. We studied th…

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition on petals enhances seed quality of the forest herb <i>Anemone nemorosa</i> Open
Elevated atmospheric input of nitrogen (N) is currently affecting plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The growth and survival of numerous plant species is known to respond strongly to N fertilisation. Yet, few studies have assess…
View article: Global environmental change effects on plant community composition trajectories depend upon management legacies
Global environmental change effects on plant community composition trajectories depend upon management legacies Open
The contemporary state of functional traits and species richness in plant communities depends on legacy effects of past disturbances. Whether temporal responses of community properties to current environmental changes are altered by such l…
