Both the dominance and the mass ratio hypotheses predict that plant internal nutrient cycling in ecosystems is determined by the dominant species within plant communities. We tested this hypothesis under conditions of extreme drought by assessing plant nutrient (N, P and K) uptake and resorption in response to experimentally imposed precipitation reductions in two semiarid grasslands of northern China.

10 p, 459.5 KB Trade-offs between vegetative growth and acorn production in Quercus lobata during a mast year : the relevance of crop size and hierarchical level within the canopy / Sanchez-Humanes, Belén (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Sork, Victoria L. (University of California. Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) ; Espelta Morral, Josep Maria (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
The concept of trade-offs between reproduction and other fitness traits is a fundamental principle of life history theory. For many plant species, the cost of sexual reproduction affects vegetative growth in years of high seed production through the allocation of resources to reproduction at different hierarchical levels of canopy organization.

45 p, 2.7 MB Four years of experimental warming do not modify the interaction between subalpine shrub species / Anadon-Rosell, Alba (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals) ; Ninot Sugrañes, Josep M. (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals) ; Palacio Blasco, Sara (Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología) ; Grau Fernández, Oriol (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Nogués Mestres, Salvador (Universitat de Barcelona.

Carmen (Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología) ; Carrillo, Empar (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals)
Climate warming can lead to changes in alpine plant species interactions through modifications in environmental conditions, which may ultimately cause drastic changes in plant communities. We explored the effects of 4 years of experimental warming with open-top chambers (OTC) on Vaccinium myrtillus performance and its interaction with neighbouring shrubs at the Pyrenean treeline ecotone.

37 p, 1.9 MB Climatic events inducing die-off in Mediterranean shrublands : are species' responses related to their functional traits ? / Lloret Maya, Francisco (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; García de la Riva, Enrique (Universidad de Córdoba. Área de Ecología) ; Pérez-Ramos, Ignacio M. (Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología) ; Marañón, Teodoro (Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología) ; Saura Mas, Sandra (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Díaz-Delgado, Ricardo (Estación Biológica de Doñana) ; Villar, Rafael (Universidad de Córdoba. Área de Ecología)
Extreme climatic episodes, likely associated with climate change, often result in profound alterations of ecosystems and, particularly, in drastic events of vegetation die-off. Species attributes are expected to explain different biological responses to these environmental alterations. [...]

44 p, 1.3 MB Intraspecific variability in functional traits matters : case study of Scots pine / Laforest-Lapointe, Isabelle (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Retana Alumbreros, Javier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Martínez Vilalta, Jordi, 1975- (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
Although intraspecific trait variability is an important component of species ecological plasticity and niche breadth, its implications for community and functional ecology have not been thoroughly explored. [...]

35 p, 2.8 MB Strong resilience of soil respiration components to drought-induced die-off resulting in forest secondary succession / Barba, Josep (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Curiel Yuste, Jorge (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid, Espanya)) ; Poyatos, Rafael (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Janssens, Ivan (Universiteit Antwerpen. Departement Biologie) ; Lloret Maya, Francisco (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia)
How forests cope with drought-induced perturbations and how the dependence of soil respiration on environmental and biological drivers is affected in a warming and drying context are becoming key questions. [...]

Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia)
Changes in species richness along the ecological succession gradient may be strongly determined by coexisting extinction debts of species from the original habitats and colonization credits of those from the replacing habitats. [...]

34 p, 312.2 KB Reduced seed predation after invasion supports enemy release in a broad biogeographical survey / Castells, Eva (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Farmacologia, de Terapèutica i de Toxicologia) ; Morante, Maria (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Farmacologia, de Terapèutica i de Toxicologia) ; Blanco-Moreno, José Manuel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Sans, F. Xavier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Vilatersana, Roser (Institut Botànic de Barcelona) ; Blasco-Moreno, Anabel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Servei d'Estadística Aplicada)
The Enemy Release (ER) hypothesis predicts an increase in the plant invasive capacity after being released from their associated herbivores or pathogens in their area of origin. Despite the large number of studies on biological invasions addressing this hypothesis, tests evaluating changes in herbivory on native and introduced populations and their effects on plant reproductive potential at a biogeographical level are relatively rare.
