Peri-urban plant communities perform key ecological functions. However, the integrity of peri-urban vegetation is threatened by the continuous expansion of built-up areas and anthropogenic activities, which result in lowintensity, but continuous and pervasive chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CADs). Despite the growing attention to the...

Due to the high demand, orchid propagation by in vitro techniques has lately increased, with an emphasis on the ways to improve germination and seedling development. In this work we compare the efficiency of three classic media for orchid propagation with a newly formulated medium supplemented with almond milk. Our target species responded...

An effective way to reduce complexity in ecological modelling is by grouping species that share similar characteristics into functional groups or types. Often, the creation of plant functional groups (PFGs) is carried out for each case study in an ad-hoc way using a small set of traits. This limits the transferability of these PFGs to other...
