Abstract:
... Biometric and physiological analyses of salt stress responses were performed in two time-course experiments on giant reed (Arundo donax L). Experiment I evaluated biomass production in plants exposed to 128, 256, 512 mM NaCl for 84 days. For Experiment II, plants grown under 256 mM NaCl were further assessed for chlorophyll a fluorescence, ionic partitioning, and proline content at 14 and 49 days ...

Abstract:
... The facilitative effects of “foundation species” on community diversity and composition in alpine systems can be strong, but the strength of these effects often varies along gradients that occur above tree line. Here, we explore the effects of foundation species above and below tree line, a globally consistent and often abrupt climatic and ecological transition. The experiment was developed in Nor ...

Abstract:
... The importance of plant communities for conservation purposes is recognized in their inclusion in the “Habitat Directive” (92/43 EEC), that relates habitat types to plant community syntaxonomic units. However, habitat definitions in the Habitat Directive lead to several inaccuracies in local habitat characterization. Several wetland plant communities (and their corresponding habitats), rare in the ...

Abstract:
... Phytoactivity and allelopathic studies are heavily dependent on germination bioassays of water solutions of allelochemical(s), which necessarily imply that pH and osmotic pressure vary among treatments and between treatments and controls and are therefore a confounding factor in the assessment of seed germination responses to allelochemical(s). When the contribution of pH and osmotic pressure to s ...
