Many plant species are limited to habitats relatively unaffected by anthropogenic disturbance, so protecting these undisturbed habitats is essential for plant conservation. Coefficients of conservatism (C values) are...
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...
Plants can utilize two major forms of inorganic nitrogen, nitrate (NO3β) and ammonium (NHΒ4+), with some species appearing to βpreferβ one form over another, under certain conditions. Soil-N speciation has been shown to...
The ability to simulate plant competition accurately is essential for plant functional-type (PFT)-based models used in climate-change studies. Yu and Gao investigate competition between oak (Quercus liaotungensis) and...
