A plant can invade territory when it's adapted to it, but how can a plant be adapted to multiple biomes. A new paper examines how Honey Locust seedlings use plasticity to tackle new locations.
Seedling growth rates can have important long-term effects on forest dynamics. Environmental variables such as light availability and edaphic factors can exert a strong influence on seedling growth. The aim of a new...
The coexistence of forest tree species has often been linked to differences in their response to light availability during the regeneration stage. Van Couwenberghe et al. study natural regenerated shade-tolerant Fagus...
Early life-history stages of cacti can benefit from the facilitative effects of nurse plants that reduce solar radiation and water stress. Miranda-Jácome et al. conduct a reciprocal transplant experiment, coupled with...
