Seed Persistence: A Correlation Between Seed Longevity in the Soil and Ortho-Dihydroxyphenol Concentration
TL;DR: It is concluded that ortho-dihydroxyphenols, as a class, play an important role in maintaining seed persistence in the soil, probably by deferring or decreasing the rate of decomposition by microbes as well as by defending against herbivory.

Unexpectedly high 20th century floristic losses in a rural landscape in northern France
H Van Calster,R Vandenberghe,R Vandenberghe,M Ruysen,M Ruysen,Kris Verheyen,Martin Hermy,Guillaume Decocq +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed, late 19th century flora was matched with distribution data from a late 20th century plant database in a rural area (Thierache; 1673 km 2 ) in northern France.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological factors controlling the abundance of non-native invasive black cherry (Prunus serotina) in deciduous forest understory in Belgium
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the relation between invasion success of Prunus serotina and type of recipient habitat in a large forest in central Belgium and found that the species richness of the herb layer was negatively correlated with the percentage cover of black cherry in the shrub layer.

The generalism-specialism debate: the role of generalists in the life and death of species
Roger L. H. Dennis,Roger L. H. Dennis,Leonardo Dapporto,Simone Fattorini,Simone Fattorini,Laurence M. Cook +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that generalism in resource use, biotope occupancy, and niche breadth not only exists, but also forms a crucial part in the evolution of specialists, representing a vital force in speciation and a more effective insurance against extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake capacity of amino acids by ten grasses and forbs in relation to soil acidity and nitrogen availability.
TL;DR: Uptake capacity of organic nitrogen was studied in solution experiments on eight grasses and two forbs growing in acid soils with relatively high nitrogen mineralisation in southern Sweden and the treatment response varied considerably between the species which stresses the importance of studying intact plants at field-relevant pH and concentrations.
