Linking plant functional ecology to island biogeography
The study of insular systems has a long history in ecology and biogeography. Island plants
often differ remarkably from their noninsular counterparts, constituting excellent models for …

An overview on desiccation-tolerant mat-forming monocotyledons on tropical inselbergs
S Porembski, J Rexroth, K Weising, L Bondi… - Flora, 2021 - Elsevier
Desiccation-tolerant mat-forming monocotyledons (DTMFM) are typical constituents of the

Climate is the main driver of clonal and bud bank traits in Italian forest understories
The study of plant trait-environment links is rarely focused on traits that inform on space
occupancy and resprouting (both affecting plant persistence), especially in forest …
