Ellenberg indicator values (EIV s) can be used as a numerical system to classify species'
habitat niches and their peak occurrence along gradients. By finding correlations of EIV s …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

DUE to the action of climatic agencies the outer solid portions of the earth readily pass into a
loose and disintegrated condition. This layer, although superficial and insignificant in …

Aim Soil pH is considered an important driver of fine‐scale plant species richness in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, it is unclear to what extent this relationship is influenced by …

A positive relationship between plant species richness and biomass has often documented
in temperate grassland systems but is still largely lacking in the Himalayan region …

Nitrogen (N) pollution is a global threat to the biodiversity of many plant communities, but its
impacts on grassland soil seed banks are unknown. Here we show that size and richness of …

Hikers passing through nature easily recognize that the vegetation on limestone (calcareous
soils) and silicate (acidic soils) is very different. This is not so much the case with trees but …

Functional plant traits are used in ecology to explain population dynamics in time and space.
However, because the germination niche is an essential stage in alpine plant life cycles and …

Two new pyrazoline derivatives DBS and DSS were designed and synthesized for
fluorescent detection of Al 3+ ion. The photophysical properties were studied in almost …

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the main aspects restricting the development of fabaceous
plants grown in soils with spontaneous vegetation prevalence in temperate climate zones …
