Steady-state assemblages in a Mediterranean hypertrophic reservoir. The role of Microcystis ecomorphological variability in maintaining an apparent equilibrium

TL;DR: The ever-changing morphological features suggest a different ecological behaviour of the species involved and seem to confirm that the environmental variability of Mediterranean reservoirs sustains high diversity values, even though this diversity has to be sought in the amplitude of morphological plasticity of one or a few species, rather than in the coexistence of a variety of species.
Journal Article

Low-intensity grazing with domestic herbivores: a tool for maintaining and restoring plant diversity in temperate Europe.

TL;DR: Overall, low-intensity grazing represents a highly flexible concept to maintain and restore plant diversity in cultivated landscapes; general management implications are given.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relative importance of grazing stock type and grazing intensity for conservation of mesotrophic ‘old meadow’ pasture

TL;DR: The evidence base is found to be poor but with some potential for meaningful integration of existing datasets, and analyses of complementary datasets from Welsh mesotrophic grassland demonstrates that livestock type and vegetation height significantly impact on the plant community composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extreme weather events and plant–plant interactions: shifts between competition and facilitation among grassland species in the face of drought and heavy rainfall

TL;DR: The complementary responses in competition intensity experienced by grassland species under drought suggest biotic interactions as one stabilizing mechanism for overall community performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue nutrient signatures predict herbaceous‐wetland community responses to nutrient availability

TL;DR: The evidence for syndromes of traits closely linked to nutrient use efficiency that increase fitness under particular growing conditions is extended and tissue nutrient signatures will have diagnostic value in predicting community responses to perturbation in nutrient availability.
