Hyperdiverse forests occur in the lowland tropics, whereas the most species‐rich shrublands
are found in regions such as south‐western Australia (kwongan) and South Africa (fynbos) …

Some of the most species-rich plant communities occur on ancient, strongly weathered soils,
whereas those on recently developed soils tend to be less diverse. Mechanisms underlying …

summary The infectivity of vesicular–arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi in three soils from
different vegetation types was compared before and after disturbance. The relative …

As climate change increases vegetation combustibility, humans are impacted by wildfires
through loss of lives and property, leading to an increased emphasis on prescribed burning …

(1) The quantity of seed stored in the canopy of five co-occurring Banksia species varied by
nearly two orders of magnitude. The three species which resprout vegetatively after fire …

The efficiency of four nonparametric species richness estimators—first‐order Jackknife,
second‐order Jackknife, Chao2 and Bootstrap—was tested using simulated quadrat …

In order to understand the dynamics of co-evolution it is important to consider spatial
variation in interaction dynamics. We examined the relative importance of ant activity …

The capacity of many plant species to resprout in fire-prone shrublands is thought to
engender persistence, yet management concerns exist for the long-term persistence of …

Background Mediterranean-type ecosystems are fire-prone environments where species
have evolved in the presence of seasonal summer conditions and frequent fires. In these …

We tested the hypothesis that soil disturbance associated with mining will reduce the
infectivity of propagules of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi to different extents …
