The use of functional traits (FTs) can provide quantitative information to explain macrophyte
ecology more effectively than traditional taxonomic-based methods. This research aims to …

The global and seemingly unstoppable spread of invasive alien plants emerges as one of
the main topics of current science. This is due to the multiple repercussions of invasive …

Grasslands are subject to degradation in arid and semi-arid areas as the result of various
pressures, including climate change. Therefore, spatial and temporal monitoring of …

Seagrasses form important ecosystems providing essential provisioning and regulating
services. They exhibit acclimative properties to contend with environmental change while …

Due to a close contact with water column, submerged macrophytes are easily disturbed by
environment change in freshwater ecosystems, especially at the seedling stage. In recent …

In a scenario of climate change and intensive land‐use change, the issue of salt marsh
degradation caused by global warming and soil salinization is becoming more serious. A …

Submerged macrophytes play a crucial role as primary producers and contribute essential
ecosystem functions and services, but rising temperatures caused by climate change may …

The resource‐availability hypothesis (RAH) and the intraspecific RAH (RAHintra), posit that
resources,(ie nutrients) control plant antiherbivore defenses. Both hypotheses predict that in …

The effectiveness of wetlands in sequestering nutrients and improving water quality relies on
a suite of abiotic and biotic conditions. To more fully understand the restraints on nutrient …

Sea level rise is expected to push saline waters into previously fresher regions of estuaries,
and higher salinities may expose oligohaline marshes to invertebrate herbivores typically …
