While invasive plant species primarily occur in disturbed, high-resource environments, many
species have invaded ecosystems characterized by low nutrient, water, and light availability …

Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced mainly from plant-and animal-based biomass
through thermochemical conversion. It is often amended to soil for methane oxidation in …

Levels of plant invasions in different habitat types were assessed in several regional studies,
but few of them were from the Mediterranean. Here we compare the levels of vascular plant …

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a problem, especially in drought-prone environments such
as the Mediterranean Basin where the exacerbation of the already severe conditions could …

New species are generated by many means, among which hybridization plays an important
role. Interspecific hybrids can form isolated evolutionary units, especially when mechanisms …

Efficient extraction of soil water is essential for the productivity of plant communities.
However, research on the complementary use of resources in mixed plant communities, and …

Despite the importance of fine roots for the acquisition of soil resources such as nitrogen and
water, the study of linkages between traits and both population and community dynamics …

Purpose Understanding the root traits associated with plant invasions has become
increasingly essential. This study examined the root characteristics associated with …

Urban trees provide a number of ecosystem services through the process of transpiration,
including evaporative cooling and returning stormwater to the atmosphere. Collocating …

Limited studies have investigated the effect of vegetation growth and evapotranspiration (E
