Species phenology is being altered by ongoing climate changes with yet underappreciated consequences for ecological processes and ecosystem stability. Contrary to what happens with some key life events of flowering plants, comparatively little information exists about fern and lycophyte phenology and how it is affected by the current climatic changes. In part, this stems from the lack of long-term datasets. Her...
Species phenology - the timing of key life events - is being altered by ongoing climate changes with yet underappreciated consequences for ecosystem stability. While flowering is generally occurring earlier, we know much less about other key processes such as the time of fruit ripening, largely due to the lack of comprehensive long-term datasets. Here we provide information on the exact date and site where seed...
Com este segundo tomo, continuamos o nosso roteiro botânico por Portugal continental. No fim desta viagem, teremos visitado 50 Sítios de Interesse Botânico (SIB), mas a escolha continua forçosamente incompleta, tanto mais não seja por tudo o que permanece por descobrir pela primeira vez pelos naturalistas. Fecha-se, assim, uma lista idiossincrática de lugares floristicamente extraordinários e procura abrir-se, ...
