Hemiparasitic plants, such as Rhinanthus species, have substantial effects on community
composition and biomass. For example, the presence of parasites often increases diversity …

Hemiparasites are known to influence community structure and ecosystem functioning, but
the underlying mechanisms are not well studied. Variation in the impacts of hemiparasites …

Interactions between two plant species can be influenced by the presence of other plant
species and such an effect may change as the diversity of the other species increases. To …

Despite their ecological significance, parasitic plants face more conservation challenges
than do autotrophic plants. This is especially true for the groups that include weedy or …

Parasitic plants are important drivers of community and ecosystem properties. In this study,
we identify different mechanisms by which mistletoe (Viscum album subsp. austriacum) can …

To understand the regulatory relationship between the environment and Cistanche salsa,
here we integrated the macro-and microdimension methods. From a macroperspective, the …

Above-and below-ground are important components of terrestrial ecosystems. Plants and
microorganisms are dependent on each other, and they are important in the linkage …

Whilst it is widely accepted that different plant species influence ecosystem processes such
as nutrient cycling, we are still far from understanding and predicting the effects of changes …

Despite growing evidence that parasites often alter nutrient flows through their hosts and
can comprise a substantial amount of biomass in many systems, whether endemic parasites …

Within-species genetic variation is a potent factor influencing between-species interactions
and community-level structure. Species of the hemi-parasitic plant genus Rhinanthus act as …
