Geodiversity–the abiotic heterogeneity of Earth's (sub) surface–is gaining recognition for its
ecological links to biodiversity. However, theoretical and conceptual knowledge of …

Background Refugia are island-like habitats that are linked to long-term environmental
stability and, as a result, high endemism. Conservation of refugia and endemism hotspots …

The ability of plant species to adjust key functional traits through intraspecific variation may
determine their success in persisting on our planet in the future, especially in unstable …

灌木是森林和灌丛生态系统的重要组成部分, 探究森林与灌丛灌木功能性状的差异,
可揭示灌木在不同生境的适应策略. 该研究以金华北山森林群落林下灌木层 …

Biomonitors are considered a cheap alternative of active air samplers, especially where
spatial pattern of air quality is to be monitored, requiring numerous parallel measurements …

Seeds play a major role in plant species persistence and expansion, and therefore they are
essential when modeling species dynamics. However, homogeneity in seed traits is …

Aim Species on islands are at high risk of extinction due to environmental changes,
including global warming, land‐use alterations and invasions. At local scales, extinctions …

Carnivorous plants adapt to variations in nutrient availability and shade by altering
investment in carnivory in response to different environmental conditions. It is not clear …

Due to the intensified land use in transformed landscapes, grassland biodiversity is often
restricted to habitat fragments inadequate for arable use or for urban development. In …

Aims Shrubs play important roles in both forest and bushland ecosystems. This study aims to
identify the adaptative strategies of shrubs in different habitats by analyzing the differences …
