The soil–root interface is the micro‐ecosystem where roots uptake metals. However, less than 10% of hyperaccumulators' rhizosphere has been examined. The present study evaluated the root and shoot response to nickel in hyperaccumulator and non‐hyperaccumulator species, through the analysis of root surface and biomass and the ecophysiological...

Vertical greening systems and green roofs provide ecosystem services in the urban context. Despite the important benefits they provide, economic (initial and maintenance costs) and environmental issues may limit the widespread diffusion of these greening systems. Mosses can be a low-cost and low-maintenance alternative green envelope for...

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...
