Reexamination of cell contents in Pennsylvanian spores and pollen grains using Raman spectroscopy
(2014)Permineralization offers exceptional structural preservation to the level of cellular components, many of which are found within fossilized plant specimens. In some cases, structures within plant cells, particularly those ... -
Regional variability in peatland burning at mid-to high-latitudes during the Holocene
(2023)Northern peatlands store globally-important amounts of carbon in the form of partly decomposed plant detritus. Drying associated with climate and land-use change may lead to increased fire frequency and severity in ... -
Reinvestigating Carboniferous actinomycetes : authigenic formation of biomimetic carbonates and implications for microbial paleoecology
(2013)Paleoecological interactions among fossil microorganisms have garnered significant interest within the paleobotanical community; however, an understanding of the early diagenesis of associated plant material is of critical ... -
ReNature: creating the first nature-based solutions compendium in the Mediterranean
(2020)The ReNature nature-based solutions compendium (http://renature-project.eu/compendium) is an open-source collection, which contains data on nature-based solutions in Malta. Initially collecting information only about Malta, ... -
Renaturing cities using a regionally-focused biodiversity-led multifunctional benefits approach to urban green infrastructure
(2016)If a "Renaturing of Cities" strategy is to maximise the ecosystem service provision of urban green infrastructure (UGI), then detailed consideration of a habitat services, biodiversity-led approach and multifunctionality ... -
Reproductive biology of the invasive exotic shrub, Rhododendron ponticum L. (Ericaceae)
(Blackwell, 2007)The reproductive biology of an exotic species will affect its ability to become naturalized and invasive in non-native habitats. Rhododendron ponticum is an ecologically damaging exotic weed in the British Isles, which ... -
Research trends in ecosystem services provided by insects
(2018)Insects play a key role in the regulation and dynamics of many ecosystem services (ES). However, this role is often assumed, with limited or no experimental quantification of its real value. We examined publication trends ... -
Rhizophydites matryoshkae gen. et sp. nov. (fossil Chytridiomycota) on spores of the early land plant Horneophyton lignieri from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert
(2021)Premise of research: As our understanding of the importance of fungi in ecosystems today increases, we are still in the early stages of appreciating their roles in the past. The famous Early Devonian Rhynie chert contains ... -
Rising CO2 drives divergence in water use efficiency of evergreen and deciduous plants
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2019)Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), defined as the ratio of photosynthesis to stomatal conductance, is a key variable in plant physiology and ecology. Yet, how rising atmospheric CO2 concentration affects iWUE at broad ... -
Soil respiration in European grasslands in relation to climate and assimilate supply
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Soil respiration constitutes the second largest flux of carbon (C) between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. This study provides a synthesis of soil respiration (Rs) in 20 European grasslands across a climatic ... -
Spatial variability of urban forest topsoil properties: towards representative and robust sampling design
(2023)Background: Soil spatial variability is a major concern when deciding how to collect a representative topsoil sample for laboratory analysis. Sampling design to capture site-specific variability is documented in the ... -
Spring foraging resources and the behaviour of pollinating insects in fixed dune ecosystems
(2014)In temperate climates, foraging resources for pollinating insects are especially important in early spring when animals emerge from hibernation and initiate annual life cycles. One habitat, protected under EU law, which ... -
Strategies for mainstreaming nature-based solutions in urban governance capacities in ten European cities
(2023)This paper explores the institutional mainstreaming of nature-based solutions (NBS) to advance a process-based understanding about how to strategically develop the governance capacities needed for systemic, localised and ...
