Shifts in plant dominance control short and long-term carbon-cycle responses to widespread drought
Global climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of future drought, which in turn may be expected to induce a range of biogeochemical climate feedbacks. A combination of model simulations and observational studies of a recent wide-scale drought, suggested that the drought i
Comment on Cognition-mediated evolution of low-quality floral nectars.
Nachev et al (Reports, 6 January 2017, p. 75) present dilute nectar in bat-pollinated plants as "paradoxical" because bats prefer concentrated nectar, but paradox disappears with realistic assumptions about nectar evolution. We argue that they make unrealistic assumptions about the cognitive abiliti
Feral Hues & Invasive Pigments: Examining Nature-Based Solutions through Ecosocial Art Engaging Spontaneous Urban Vegetation and Informal Greenspace
The project Feral Hues and Invasive Pigments (FH&IP) addresses the role of spontaneous urban plants (aka weeds) through ecosocial art, with the goal of reducing human alienation from plant life and land in urban and disturbed habitats. Hands-on work with spontaneous urban plants through ecosocial ar
