Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels influence ecosystem properties. Variation in plant traits, trait syndromes, has proven useful for tackling many important questions at a range of scales, giving rise demand standardised ways measure ecologically meaningful traits. This line research been among most fruitful avenues...
Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope and rigor, here we statistically synthesize empirical comparisons of recent driver impacts found through a wide-ranging review. We show that land/sea use change dominant worldwide. Direct exploitation natural resources ranks second pollution third; climate invasive alien species have significantly less than top two...
Summary Ecological research produces a tremendous amount of data, but the diversity in scales and topics covered ways which studies are carried out result large numbers small, idiosyncratic data sets using heterogeneous terminologies. Such heterogeneity can be attributed, part, to lack standards for acquiring, organizing describing data. Here, we propose terminological resource, T hesaurus O f P lant characteristics ( TOP ), whose aim is harmonize formalize concepts plant widely used...
Fire ecology has been hindered by the lack of comparable, affordable protocols to quantify flammability whole plants over large numbers species. We describe a low-tech device that can be carried field and allows highly standardized measurement individuals or portions up 70 cm long. illustrate its potential with results for 34 species belonging different growth forms from central Argentina. The consists an 85 × 60 half-cut metallic barrel placed horizontally mounted on removable structure. It...
Abstract Plant fire syndromes are usually defined as combinations of response traits, the most common being resprouting (R) and seeding (S). flammability (F), on other hand, refers to a plant's effects communities ecosystems. Despite its important ecological evolutionary implications, F has rarely been considered define plant and, if so, separated from syndromes. We propose three‐dimensional model that combines R, S F, encapsulating both regimes capacity promote them. Each axis is divided...
Abstract Fire is a key ecological factor affecting plant dynamics. In the last few decades, fire occurrence in Chaco region has increased noticeably, challenging adaptive capacity of plants to regenerate after fire. Broad‐leaved forb species have been much less studied than woody and graminoids, although they are an important component Here we analysed germination response heat shock 70 110°C, smoke their combination 10 broad‐leaved herbaceous frequently occurring Serrano Córdoba province,...
Multicultural representation is a stated goal of many global scientific assessment processes. These processes aim to mobilize broader, more diverse knowledge base and increase legitimacy inclusiveness these Often, enhancing cultural diversity encouraged through involvement expert teams sources in different languages. In this article, we examined linguistic diversity, as one the eight published assessments Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES)....

Abstract Cacti are conspicuous plants across arid and semi‐arid ecosystems of the American continent currently under threat due to human pressures, such as habitat loss, illegal collection changes in fire regimes. Although much their is highly prone, there strikingly few studies on germination response cues. The aim this work was analyse effect heat shock (simulating wildfires) ‘germination %’ ‘mean time’ 13 cactus species two growth forms (six columnar seven globose) from a fire‐prone...
