Plant dominance in a subalpine montane meadow: biotic vs. abiotic controls of subordinate diversity within and across sites by Erika LaPlante, Lara Souza

“…Methods Using a combination of an observational study and a five-year plant removal experiment we: (1) documented how plant diversity and composition of montane meadow assemblages vary along a plant dominance gradient using an observational study; (2) tracked above- and belowground functional traits of co-dominant plant species Potentilla and Festuca along a plant dominance gradient in an observational study; (3) determined whether plant species diversity and composition was directly influenced by commonly occurring species Potentilla and Festuca with the use of a randomized plot design, 5-year plant removal experiment (no removal control, Potentilla removed, Festuca removed, n = 10). …”

The Role of <i>Cymodocea nodosa</i> and <i>Caulerpa prolifera</i> Meadows as Nitrogen Sinks in Temperate Coastal Lagoons by Jaime Bernardeau-Esteller, José Miguel Sandoval-Gil, María Dolores Belando, Aranzazu Ramos-Segura, Rocío García-Muñoz, Lazaro Marín-Guirao, Juan Manuel Ruiz

“…In coastal lagoons, marine benthic macrophyte meadows can be an important element in the resistance to eutrophication of the ecosystem, as they can function as temporary nitrogen sinks, limiting the availability of this nutrient for opportunistic organisms. …”

Abundance of arthropods as food for meadow bird chicks in response to short- and long-term soil wetting in Dutch dairy grasslands by Livia De Felici, Theunis Piersma, Ruth A. Howison

“…Background Throughout the world, intensive dairy farming has resulted in grasslands almost devoid of arthropods and birds. Meadow birds appear to be especially vulnerable during the chick-rearing period. …”

Linking Leaf N:P Stoichiometry to Species Richness and Composition along a Slope Aspect Gradient in the Eastern Tibetan Meadows by Xin’e Li, Yafei Hu, Renyi Zhang, Xin Zhao, Cheng Qian

“…To understand the variation of leaf N:P stoichiometry and community structure, as well as their correlation with each other, the species composition and leaf N and P in Tibetan meadows were investigated across three slope aspects: the south-, west-, and north-facing slope aspects (i.e., SFS, WFS, and NFS). …”

Management practice and soil properties affect plant productivity and root biomass in endophyte‐symbiotic and endophyte‐free meadow fescue grasses by Sanna Keronen, Marjo Helander, Kari Saikkonen, Benjamin Fuchs

“…Materials and Methods In a greenhouse, we studied the effects of three mowing regimes (uncut, and cutting 5 or 15 cm) employed three times during the season on root and shoot biomass and chlorophyll content of the cool‐season grass Festuca pratensis (meadow fescue) growing in soil with a history of glyphosate‐based herbicide (GBH) use, the corresponding control soil, and sterilized control soil. …”
