Ecosystem service values support conservation and sustainable land development: Perspectives from four University of California campuses Open
Urban landscapes homogenize our world at global scales, contributing to “extinction of experience”, a progressive decline in human interactions with native greenspace that can disconnect people from the services it provides. College age ad…

Complex floral traits shape pollinator attraction to flowering plants in urban greenspaces Open
Urban greenspaces are recognized as a benefit to pollinator conservation. Selective planting of attractive flowering plants can improve the conservation value of urban greenspaces. However, the functional traits of flowering plants that mo…

Ecological and Economic Impacts of Alien Invasive Yellow Flag (Iris pseudacorus L.) in China Open
Non-native aquatic plants can alter the physiochemical condition of habitats and can have negative ecological and economic impacts. Thus, understanding the characteristics of non-native aquatic plant species is important as a foundation fo…

Status, threats and the conservation of endemic species in the Yarlung Zangbo river basin Open
The Yarlung Zangbo river extends through the southern area of the Tibet Plateau at the highest elevation of any large river in the world. It supports many unique and endemic species, but global warming, proposed and existing hydropower dev…

Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) (Araceae) in China: distribution, introduction pathway, and impacts Open
Non-native aquatic species have caused profound ecological and physical impacts in many waterbodies, and in China many non-native species are known for their ecological displacements and the changes they have induced in a diversity of wetl…

Effects of Landscape and Local Factors on the Diversity of Flower-Visitor Groups under an Urbanization Gradient, a Case Study in Wuhan, China Open
Urbanization is one of the primary forces driving worldwide pollinator decline. Moderate urban expansion with appropriate green space planning can help in maintaining pollinator diversity and pollination service. We investigated the relati…

Delta arrowhead (Sagittaria platyphylla) in the Yangtze River: an invasive aquatic plant and the potential ecological consequences Open
The Yangtze River basin in China has one of the most highest rates of biological invasion of any freshwater ecosystem. As it is also an important agriculture, aquaculture and biodiversity hotspot, it is critical to implement early detectio…

Analyzing High‐Frequency Soil Respiration Using a Probabilistic Model in a Semiarid, Mediterranean Climate Open
High‐frequency (subhourly) changes in soil respiration ( Rs ), a critical component of the carbon cycle, are not well documented in semiarid ecosystems. We investigate the response of Rs to subhourly soil temperature ( T soil) and soil vol…
