Effects of elevated CO2, nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth and photosynthesis of two upland perennials: Calluna vulgaris and Pteridium aquilinum
TL;DR: The growth and photosynthesis of both plants responded positively to the supply of P alone or P with N, but there was little response to N alone, and the increase in biomass of heather in high CO2 was greatest in the absence of added nutrients and lowest when both N and P were supplied.
Book ChapterDOI
Generalization in Functional Plant Ecology: The Species- Sampling Problem, Plant Ecology Strategy Schemes, and Phylogeny
TL;DR: In this article, a brief outline of the debate about whether phylogeny should be regarded as an alternative explanation to present-day functionality is provided, in competition with explanations that invoke natural selection or functionality continuing into the present day.

Are invaders disturbance-limited? Conservation of mountain grasslands in Central Argentina
TL;DR: In this paper, the invasibility of the tall-grass mountain grassland community was investigated in an experiment of factorial design, where six alien species which are widely distributed in the region were sown in plots where soil disturbance, above-ground biomass removal by cutting and burning were used as treatments.

Species-area curve, life history strategies, and succession: a field test of relationships
Jan Lepš,Jan Štursa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated changes of species richness along temporal and environmental gradients using two data sets: a successional sere of old-field plant communities in the Bohemian Karst, and a set of plant communities under various intensities of disturbance in the Krkonose (Giant) Mts, both in Czechoslovakia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a Whole-Cell Biosensor and Flow Cytometry to Detect AHL Production by an Indigenous Soil Community During Decomposition of Litter
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AHL compounds are produced during degradation of litter in soil, indicating the presence of AHL-mediated quorum sensing in this environment.
