While near-natural forest stands are dramatically diminishing, monoculture tree plantations rapidly spreading globally, including the eastern part of Central Europe. Tree regarded as simplified and species-poor ecosystems, but their functional phylogenetic diversity ecological value still mostly unknown. In present study, we investigated poplar forests three most common plantation types (native deciduous Populus alba, non-native evergreen Pinus nigra, Robinia pseudoacacia plantations) in...
Abstract Ecosystems with forest and grassland patches as alternative stable states usually contain various closed, semi‐open open habitats, which may be aligned along a vegetation cover gradient. Taxonomic diversity peaks near the middle of gradient, but our knowledge on functional phylogenetic trends gradients is more limited. We investigated eight main habitats Hungarian forest‐grassland mosaics, representing values, compared their species composition well taxonomic, diversity. found...
Microclimate has a substantial impact on plant composition, survival, and growth, as well ecosystem processes. Although microclimatic conditions in anthropogenically fragmented ecosystems have received considerable scientific attention, they are understudied naturally ecosystems, including forest-steppes. In addition, earlier investigations these mosaics only measured microclimate parameters for very short period (i.e., 24 hours single summer day). the present study, long-term were described...
Abstract In the Eurasian forest-steppe, with increasing aridity, balance between naturally co-existing forest and grassland patches is expected to shift towards dominance in long run, although feedback mechanisms changes land-use may alter this process. study, we compared old recent aerial photographs of Hungarian forest-steppes find out whether how proportion number change at decadal time-scale. The percentage area covered by significantly increased all study sites. observed encroachment be...
Although edges are usually considered key areas for biodiversity, previous studies have focused on anthropogenic edges, studied in relation to forest interiors (disregarding the adjacent non-woody vegetation), and used simple taxonomic indices (without considering functional or phylogenetic aspects). We species composition as well taxonomic, functional, diversity of north- south-facing two habitats (forest grassland) near-natural forest–grassland mosaics Kiskunság Sand Ridge (Hungary)...
Abstract Aims Ecological strategies can provide information about plant community assembly and its main drivers. Our aim was to reveal the dominant of vegetation types forest–grassland mosaics deduce processes responsible for their species composition. Location Hungary. Methods We investigated eight Hungarian forest–steppes. The trade‐off between three key traits related leaf size economics used calculate Grime's competitive–stress tolerance–ruderal (CSR) value each species, based on which...
Abstract Repeated surveys of vegetation plots offer a viable tool to detect fine‐scale responses environmental changes. In this study, our aim was explore how the species composition and richness dry grasslands changed over period 17 years, these changes relate presence spring ephemerals, which may react short‐term weather fluctuations rather than long‐term climatic trends, influence results. A total 95 surveyed in 2005 resurveyed 2022 Kiskunság Sand Ridge (Hungary, Eastern Central Europe),...
Abstract This study describes the net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 in a rice summer-autumn growth season lower Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Eddy Covariance and bio-meteorological systems were used to continually record between paddy field atmosphere, together with environmental variables affecting rate. Rice plant (height, above-, belowground biomass) was measured every 15 days during entire crop. Our emitted at mean rate 5.06 ± 2.49 µmol m -2 s -1 , while capturing 18.65 11.76 throughout The acted...
