Selecting Suitable Near-Native Lignins for Research

There are several methods to isolate near-native lignins, including milled-wood lignin, enzymatic lignin, cellulolytic enzyme lignin, and enzymatic mild-acidolysis lignin. Which one is the most representative of the native lignin? Herein, near-native ligni ...

Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands

Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer

Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...

Herbaceous Angiosperms Are Not More Vulnerable to Drought-Induced Embolism Than Angiosperm Trees

Alexandre Buttler, Constant Signarbieux, Hervé Cochard

The water transport pipeline in herbs is assumed to be more vulnerable to drought than in trees due to the formation of frequent embolisms (gas bubbles), which could be removed by the occurrence of root pressure, especially in grasses. Here, we studied hyd ...

Experimental warming interacts with soil moisture to discriminate plant responses in an ombrotrophic peatland

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Cédric Pochelon

QuestionA better understanding of the response of Sphagnum mosses and associated vascular plants to climate warming is relevant for predicting the carbon balance of peatlands in a warmer world. Open-top chambers (OTCs) have been used to investigate the eff ...

Cadmium accumulation in six common plant species associated with soils containing high geogenic cadmium concentrations at Le Gurnigel, Swiss Jura Mountains

François Gillet

The uptake of cadmium (Cd) was analyzed for six different perennial plant species growing in a wooded pasture of the Swiss Jura Mountains, where the soils are geogenically enriched in Cd (4.58 mg.kg(-1) on average (n = 36); maximal value: 16.3 mg.kg(-1)). ...

The terms of turbulent kinetic energy budget within random arrays of emergent cylinders

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

This article is aimed at quantifying and discussing the relative magnitude of key terms of the equation of conservation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the inter-stem space of a flow within arrays of vertical cylinders simulating plant stems of emerge ...

Transplantation of subalpine wood-pasture turfs along a natural climatic gradient reveals lower resistance of unwooded pastures to climate change compared to wooded ones

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Thomas Spiegelberger

Climate change could impact strongly on cold-adapted mountain ecosystems, but little is known about its interaction with traditional land-use practices. We used an altitudinal gradient to simulate a year-round warmer and drier climate for semi-natural suba ...

Turbulent flow within a random array of rigid, emergent stems : Laboratory characterization of the drag coefficient

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

Within the bioengineering framework, designing a non-erodible channel is a complex fluid dynamics problem as it involves knowing the drag exerted on the boundary, the drag exerted on the plant stems and the overall friction slope. Most of the existing desi ...

Impact of floods on the statistical distribution of riverbed vegetation

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Investigating the colonization of river bars by pioneer vegetation, we discuss how the balance between uprooting by flooding events and reinforcement of plant roots determines the ability for vegetation to colonize the riverbed. In order to access the comp ...

Evaluating Ecohydrological Theories of Woody Root Distribution in the Kalahari

Paolo d'Odorico

The contribution of savannas to global carbon storage is poorly understood, in part due to lack of knowledge of the amount of belowground biomass. In these ecosystems, the coexistence of woody and herbaceous life forms is often explained on the basis of be ...
