Role of above- and belowground traits in the functional structure and species dominance of tropical fern communities in response to edge effects Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-01
Abstract Recent investigations have revealed the coordination and trade-offs between above- and belowground traits in structuring functional strategies of plant communities, but none of these have addressed ferns, a diverse plant lineage in tropical forests. We investigated terrestrial ferns from the perspective of how below- and aboveground traits are coordinated with functional responses to forest

Dactylorhiza maculata agg. (Orchidaceae) in Central Europe: Intricate Patterns in Morphological Variability, Cytotype Diversity and Ecology Support the Single-Species Concept Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2024-02-28
Abstract Effective protection of endangered species is often limited by taxonomic discrepancies across state borders. This is also the case of the Dactylorhiza maculata agg. in Central Europe, where one to three species and several infraspecific taxa are recognized in various countries. Based on an extensive analysis of morphological variation, ploidy levels, environmental traits and habitats of 64

Fire is a natural phenomenon that is very frequent in ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin. Cistus ladanifer and C. salvifolius (Cistaceae family) are evergreen shrubs and components of plant communities found in this region. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fire on the germination of C. ladanifer and C. salvifolius seeds. For this purpose, seeds of both species were subjected

How plant communities in Anatolian steppes recover after disturbances has remained unknown. To study the effects of small-scale disturbances on plant communities of the central Anatolian steppe, we established thirty-two plots 1 × 1 m in size in a natural steppe near Ankara (Turkey). The plots were subjected to mowing or hoeing treatments representing low- and high-intensity disturbance, respectively

Biological soil crusts (BSC) play a crucial role in arid ecosystem functioning, yet the effect of their properties (e.g. whether they are dominated by mosses and lichens) on the germination has rarely been investigated. Here, we analysed the effects of intact, dead and removed moss or lichen BSC on seed germination of Stipa caucasica, a key species in the Iranian Artemisia steppes. Our results revealed

What determines vegetation on rock outcrops of the Western Ghats: the macro-environment or lithotype? Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-11-13 Kulkarni, Aboli, Shetti, Rohan, Shigwan, Bhushan K., Vijayan, Smrithy, Datar, Mandar N.
The northern section of the Western Ghats is a biodiversity hotspot with a predominance of rock outcrops. Although these outcrops are characterized by environmental extremes, they support a large diversity of species, many of which are endemics. High-elevation rock outcrops of the Western Ghats exhibit two lithotypes of distinct geological origins, namely basalt mesa (BM) and high-level ferricrete

Draba (Brassicaeae), a model group for diversification and evolution in Arctic and mountain habitats, is taxonomically challenging and many of its species are insufficiently investigated. One such species is D. pacheri, an endemic of the eastern European Alps and the western Carpathians (here presumably extinct).

Mowing and disturbance increase survival rates of three rare moss species of fen meadows Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-25 Záleská, Tereza, Holá, Eva, Kučera, Jan, Grill, Stanislav, Šmilauer, Petr, Štechová, Táňa
Fen meadow habitats host many rare bryophytes. Lack of management has resulted in eliminations of specialized fen bryophytes by competitively stronger vascular plants or common bryophytes. We studied the effects of management (mowing only or in combination with disturbance and litter removal) on three fen moss species, Breidleria pratensis, Sphagnum warnstorfii and Tomentypnum nitens.

Halophytic vegetation on fossil salt deposits and salt springs is an extreme habitat occurring in isolated continental areas of temperate Europe.

Effect of nutrient and light stress on the mortality and growth of young clonal and non-clonal herbs after biomass removal Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-19 Jana Martínková, Adam Klimeš, Jitka Klimešová
Clonal herbs form belowground organs where they store reserves and bear regenerative buds. Based on these characteristics, clonal herbs may deal with disturbances better than non-clonal herbs, and clonality is seen as an adaptive strategy in disturbed habitats. The advantage of being clonal is likely to be enhanced in stressful conditions where larger belowground storage is beneficial. We conducted

Plant diversity conservation has become one of the most critical objectives of forest management in an ecologically sustainable way. However, biodiversity conservation and sustainable management issues are sometimes neglected in Cameroon's communal forests because their botanical importance, and high-priority species for conservation are poorly known.

Fine-scale effect of environmental variation and distance from watercourses on pteridophyte assemblage structure in the western Amazon Folia Geobot. (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-05-16 Júlia Gomes da Silva, Thiago Bernardi Vieira, Henrique Augusto Mews
Defining the factors that regulate the geographic distribution and abundance of plants in natural systems is still a major challenge. This challenge is even greater when non-arboreal plants are used as a model organism, as they have historically received less attention than trees. In this study, we evaluated how the richness and composition of pteridophyte species varies over a gradient of distance

Growing anthropogenic impacts on natural and semi-natural ecosystems have created a network of degraded sites throughout the world. These disturbed ecosystems are often colonized by invasive plants such as Pteridium aquilinum, which is one of the most widespread plants worldwide. In northern Iran, P. aquilinum is often found invading newly-created habitats formed after anthropogenic disturbance. This

The Caucasus harbours unique forest vegetation so far only little studied using the Braun-Blanquet approach. This study is mostly based on a dataset (N = 110) of original phytosociological relevés of oak-hornbeam and ravine forests in the Eastern Greater Caucasus, Georgia. Their unsupervised classification produced seven communities. Five belong to oak-hornbeam forests (order Lathyro-Carpinetalia caucasicae)
