Avian communities in Spartina maritima restored and non-restored salt marshes
(2013-05-01)
Capsule Salt marsh restoration with the native halophytes Spartina maritima and Zostera noltii can lead to significant improvement in habitat, increasing bird diversity over a 2-year period. Aims To assess the evolution ...

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass
(MDPI, 2019)
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity. Thus, analyzing the phenotypic expression of hybrids provides ...

Capability of the Invasive Tree Prosopis glandulosa Torr. to Remediate Soil Treated with Sewage Sludge
(MDPI, 2019)
Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are hazards associated with its use, including high metal(loid) contents. An experimental study was conducted under greenhouse conditions to examine ...

Phenotypic plasticity of polyploid plant species promotes transgressive behaviour in their hybrids
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Hybridization is a frequent process that leads to relevant evolutionary consequences, but there is a lack of studies regarding the relationships of the variability of the response of parental plant species to environmental ...

Genetic structure of Spartina hybrids between native Spartina maritima and invasive Spartina densiflora in Southwest Europe
(Elsevier, 2019)
Interspecific hybridization represents an evolutionary force resulting in novel genotypes. The genomic changes that occur as a result of hybridization affect both genome structure and gene expression and consequently ...

Effect of Low and High Temperatures on the Photosynthetic Performance of Lantana camara L. Leaves in Darkness
(Pleiades Publishing, Ltd, 2013)
Low and high temperatures are known as most important factors influencing plant performance and distribution. Plants of Lantana camara L. coming from two distinct geographical populations (Iberian Peninsula and Galápagos ...

Morphological and physiological responses of Galapagos endemic tree Croton scouleri to site conditions varying through its altitudinal range
(Polska Akademia Nauk, Instytut Dendrologii, 2013)
: Galapagos is a natural laboratory offering a great opportunity to study plants functional traits. This study characterises morphological and ecophysiological responses of Croton scouleri, an endemic tree that habits from ...

Differential tolerance of native and invasive tree seedlings from arid African deserts to drought and shade
(Elsevier, 2019)
Efforts to understand why some species become successful invaders and why some habitats are more at risk from invasive species is an important research focus in invasion ecology. With current global climate change, evaluation ...

Wrack burial reduces germination and establishment of the invasive cordgrass Spartina densiflora
(2014)
Germination and emergence of halophytes may decrease significantly by seed burial in dead plant material, or wrack, which is common and abundant in tidal marshes. The effects of plant debris (wrack) burial on seed germination ...

Seedling Emergence from Seed Banks in Ludwigia hexapetala-Invaded Wetlands: Implications for Restoration
(MDPI, 2019-10-25)
Soil seed banks play a critical role in the maintenance of wetland plant communities and contribute to revegetation following disturbances. Analysis of the seed bank can therefore inform restoration planning and management. ...
