In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

Measures of functional diversity are increasingly being used in ecological research to
understand and predict vegetation ecosystem changes. However, there is currently no …

Climate change can promote harmful cyanobacteria blooms in eutrophic waters through
increased droughts or flooding. In this paper, we explore how water-level fluctuations affect …

Waterbirds disperse plant species via ingestion and egestion of seeds (endozoochory).
However, our understanding about the regulating effects of seed traits, underlying …

Vegetation and biogeomorphology are highly coupled in beach dune systems, but plant
species effects on abating storm erosion are largely unexplored. We quantified coastal dune …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America: Ecology, Life History, and Systematics brings
together a wealth of information on the natural history, ecology, and systematics of North …

Plant species around the world invest in seed dispersal by producing large numbers of
seeds, with a wide range of morphological adaptations that facilitate dispersal. Not all …

Understanding what constrains the persistence of species in communities is at the heart of
community assembly theory and its application to conserving and enhancing biodiversity …

Wetlands provide vital services on which human societies depend. As they have been
rapidly degrading due to anthropogenic impacts worldwide, wetland restoration is …

A lack of ecological responses in stream restoration projects has been prevalent throughout
recent literature with many studies reporting insufficient time for recovery. We assessed the …
