[HTML][HTML] Developing sustainable agromining systems in agricultural ultramafic soils for nickel recovery
Ultramafic soils are typically enriched in nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and cobalt (Co) and
deficient in essential nutrients, making them unattractive for traditional agriculture …

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context
The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well
accepted. However, most evidence comes from small‐scale studies, and scaling‐up …

Biotic homogenization can decrease landscape-scale forest multifunctionality
F van Der Plas, P Manning… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Many experiments have shown that local biodiversity loss impairs the ability of ecosystems
to maintain multiple ecosystem functions at high levels (multifunctionality). In contrast, the …

[HTML][HTML] Jack-of-all-trades effects drive biodiversity–ecosystem multifunctionality relationships in European forests
There is considerable evidence that biodiversity promotes multiple ecosystem functions
(multifunctionality), thus ensuring the delivery of ecosystem services important for human …

A novel comparative research platform designed to determine the functional significance of tree species diversity in European forests
One of the current advances in functional biodiversity research is the move away from short-
lived test systems towards the exploration of diversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in …

Familial classification of the Boraginales
F Luebert, L Cecchi, MW Frohlich, M Gottschling… - Taxon, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The Boraginales are now universally accepted as monophyletic and firmly placed in
Lamiidae. However, a consensus about familial classification has remained elusive, with …

Microclimate and forest density drive plant population dynamics under climate change
Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

An inventory of the names of vascular plants endemic to Italy, their loci classici and types
The census of the loci classici of 1,400 Italian endemic vascular plants (ie not thriving
elsewhere with the exception of Corsica and Malta) is here presented and described. The …

The borage family (Boraginaceae s. str.): A revised infrafamilial classification based on new phylogenetic evidence, with emphasis on the placement of some …
Boraginaceae s. str. is a subcosmopolitan family of 1600 to 1700 species in around 90
genera, and recent phylogenetic studies indicate that the infrafamilial classification as …

Forest understorey communities respond strongly to light in interaction with forest structure, but not to microclimate warming
Forests harbour large spatiotemporal heterogeneity in canopy structure. This variation drives
the microclimate and light availability at the forest floor. So far, we do not know how light …
