plant cover is one of the most important factors affecting infiltration rate of water into the soil and decreasing runoff. distribution of plants in arid and semi-arid areas is almost patchy and form different patterns. one of the fascinating patterns is ring-shaped growth pattern. ring patterns of varying size are formed by clonally reproducing grasses, sedges and even shrubs growing in resour...

The status of a putative new species of Lepidosperma from the mountains of south-western Tasmania, Australia, was investigated. Phenetic analysis (Flexible UPGMA Agglomerative Hierarchical Fusion and semi-strong hybrid multidimensional scaling) was conducted on a database derived from morphological and anatomical characters scored from herbarium material, culm anatomy slides and scanning electr...

Both the direct effects of warming on a species' vital rates and indirect effects of warming caused by interactions with neighboring species can influence plant populations. Furthermore, herbivory mediates the effects of warming on plant community composition in many systems. Thus, determining the importance of direct and indirect effects of warming, while considering the role of herbivory, can...

C. bicolor and atrofusca are sedge species characteristic for arctoalpine habitats. They have almost circumpolar distributions; they found in Europe, Northern Asia, North America, as well Middle Asia ( ). We hypothesized that certain genetic morphological differences between populations may be expected across this large area. tested a set of geographically remote . sequenced fragment the plasti...

Abstract The CO 2 flux on Biebrza Wetlands in Poland is analysed by ground measurements and satellite data. main goal of this study was to determine the Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) for sedges, reeds grasses using meteorological, soil vegetation parameters indicators. calculations are based chamber scattered over habitats meteorological registrations, compared 2015–2022 eddy covariance (EC) mea...

This study was to determine the composition of plant functional groups and potential value herbaceous species present in grassland communities West Timor. Ten stations Kupang Timor (Penfui, Alak, Bakunase, Tode, Mulafa, Oesapa, Tanah Merah, Tilong, Bukit Cinta, Naketuka) were selected at each stations, 15 plots 1 m x (∑150) randomly place. In plot, all presents recorded. Each further classified...
