Turgor-Driven Plant Growth Inside a Soybean Functional-Structural Plant Model
Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to mechanistically describe plant growth, combining the effect of both water and carbon availability. The high level of spatio-temporal variation and diurnal...

Interactions between plants and soil microbes may alter the relative importance of intraspecific and interspecific plant competition in a changing climate
Interactions between plants and soil microbes play an important role in structuring terrestrial ecosystems by influencing plant growth and competitive ability. Abiotic conditions such as varying nutrient levels or...
Paleo- and neo-endemism in a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot
Relative phylogenetic endemism (RPE) is a phylogenetic measure of endemism allowing for differentiation between centres of paleo- and neo-endemism. Molina-Venegas et al. apply an RPE analysis to a Mediterranean...

Soil seed bank assembly at multiple scales
In gypsum soil communities, above-ground vegetation and seed banks are tightly connected, but mechanisms involved in their organization may differ. Peralta et al. investigated the effects of water addition, biological...
Competition among native and invasive Impatiens species: the roles of environmental factors, population density, and life stage
Many invasive species are considered competitively superior to native species, with the strongest competition expected in species with similar niches and/or in closely related species. However, competition outcome is...
