One way invasive species spread through an area is by harnessing variability in traits, but this doesn’t match observations of invasive species on the slopes of Mount Teide.
The inverse correlation between atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and stomatal frequency in many plants has been widely used to estimate palaeo-CO2 levels. However, apparent discrepancies exist among the obtained...
In rosette-forming plants, rosette leaves locate near the ground, and their upper surfaces are exposed, whereas the opposite surfaces are more exposed for leaves on flowering stems.
Globally, conifer dominance is restricted to cold and nutrient-poor habitats, probably due to competition for light with angiosperms. Aiba et al. use a ground-based, portable light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system...
Tropical bryophytes greatly increase in abundance and diversity with altitude, but the reasons for this are unclear. Wagner et al. study temperature responses of net photosynthesis (NP) and dark respiration (RD) in 18...
