Summary 1. Trait‐based approaches applied to community ecology have led a considerable advance in understanding the effect of environmental filters on species assembly. Although plant traits are known vary both between and within species, little is about role intraspecific trait variability non‐random assembly mechanisms controlling coexistence including habitat filtering niche differentiation. 2. We investigate three key functional – specific leaf area (SLA), dry matter content (LDMC)...
Abstract We provide a quantitative description of the French national herbarium vascular plants collection dataset. Held at Muséum d’histoire naturelle , Paris, it currently comprises records for 5,400,000 specimens, representing 90% estimated total specimens. Ninety nine percent specimen entries are linked to one or more images and 16% have field-collecting information available. This major botanical represents results over three centuries exploration study. The sources global, with strong...
Herbarium collections are natural history and as such, repositories of plant biodiversity have been central to botanical knowledge for over four centuries. The Index Herbariorum...

Populations located at the rear-edge of a species' distribution may have disproportionate ecological and evolutionary importance for biodiversity conservation in changing global environment. Yet genetic studies such populations remain rare. This study investigates history North-African low latitude marginal Alnus glutinosa Gaertn., European tree species that plays significant role as keystone riparian ecosystems. We genotyped 551 adults from 19 across North Africa 12 microsatellite loci...
The expansion of silver fir (Abies alba) during the 20th century in European inner Alps calls into question causes observed dynamics. We investigate past distribution Abies alba via analysis wood charcoal buried natural soils (identification, weighing, dating) and pollen macro-remains from peat to help us understand its present-day expansion. Material was sampled driest areas French — some samples calcareous sites, most southern exposures that should exclude alba, which is a drought...
Abstract. Holocene climate fluctuations and human activity since the Neolithic have shaped present-day Mediterranean environments. Separating anthropogenic effects from climatic impacts to better understand paleoenvironmental changes over last millennia remains a challenging issue. High-resolution pollen analyses were undertaken on two cores Palavasian lagoon system (Hérault, southern France). These records allow reconstruction of vegetation dynamics 4500 years. Results are compared with...
Abstract Aim Previous studies have failed to reconstruct the regional post‐glacial migration pattern of Abies alba in southern France. Based on first exhaustive compilation palaeoecological data this region, we present state‐of‐the‐art and attempt synthesize available information concerning glacial refugia migration, analyse with regard climate orography. Location South‐western Alps adjacent areas, Methods The work compiles south‐western (52 sites, 290 radiocarbon dates). is reconstructed...
It has been predicted that global climate change will lead to increasing drought in the Alps during 21st century, as well an increased fire risk, fires being currently rare these mountains. Herein we describe frequency reconstruction using high‐resolution analyses of macroscopic sedimentary charcoal, pollen, and plant macrofossils. Sediments were sampled from a subalpine pond within dry western French Alps. Results show early‐Holocene expansion Pinus cembra (7200 calibrated years BP)...
AbstractDue to stresses resulting from their high altitudes, subalpine forests are sensitive disturbances, including fire. This study analyzes the long-term relationships between fire and vegetation in western Alps. High-resolution analyses of charcoal, pollen, macroremains, other palynomorphs were performed on sedimentary cores 2 small peaty ponds located above 2000 m asl. Maurienne valley, France. Results reveal similar dynamics, with differences concerning structure composition local...
Abstract. In France, most civil engineering and excavation projects are at present accompanied by compensatory measures with the aim of preserving biodiversity. order to avoid destruction a habitat high conservation interest in NE harbouring two legally protected plant species, an experiment soil translocation was conducted on area 1 ha. The donor site extensively managed mesophilic meadow receiving neighbouring arable land. vegetation translocated described 8 17 months after translocation,...
Summary 1. The application of functional ecology models to aquatic plants often relies on morphological and life‐history traits which may reflect, in part, the phenotypic plasticity displayed by plants. present study was designed evaluate use physiological traits, such as nutrition patterns, describe plant strategies along a gradient increasing resource availablity. 2. Taking phosphorus (P) an example, nutrition‐use efficiencies were evaluated five species, through P‐content tissues,...
