Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The NE region of India falls in the global hotspot of biodiversity. Wild edible plants (WEPs) are widely consumed in the daily diet of the local people. WEPs are critical for the sustenance of ethnic communities and also as a source of income. However, WEPs received a little attention in research activities, economic development, biodiversity conservation and sustainable management. Ma ...

Abstract:
... QUESTIONS: Are exotic plant species favoured by non‐native ungulate herbivores and disadvantaged by native herbivores in forested rangelands? Do the impacts of ungulates on exotic vs native plants depend on forest management activities such as prescribed fire and stand thinning? LOCATION: Northeastern Oregon, USA. METHODS: We recorded changes in richness and cover of different exotic and native pl ...

Abstract:
... Excess nitrogen (N) in terrestrial ecosystems can arise from anthropogenically-increased atmospheric N deposition, a phenomenon common in eastern US forests. In spite of decreased N emissions over recent years, atmospheric concentrations of reactive N remain high in areas within this region. Excess N in forests has been shown to alter biogeochemical cycling of essential plant nutrients primarily v ...

Abstract:
... Fire‐prone woodlands and savannas world‐wide face management challenges resulting from fire exclusion and subsequent encroachment of fire‐sensitive trees. In the Pacific Northwest (USA), Quercus garryana oak woodlands and savannas are threatened by encroachment from the native conifer Pseudotsuga menziesii in the absence of fire. In the Bald Hills of Redwood National Park (California, USA), prescr ...
