Persistent Clones and Local Seed Recruitment Contribute to the Resilience of Enhalus acoroides Populations Under Disturbance Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Human-induced land use in coastal areas is one of the main threats for seagrass meadows globally causing eutrophication and sedimentation. These environmental stressors induce sudden ecosystem shifts toward new alternative stable states defined by lower seagrass richness and abundance. Enhalus acoroides, a large-sized tropical seagrass species, appears to be more resistant toward environmental change compared to coexisting seagrass species. ...

Plant species composition and diversity in wetlands under forest, agriculture and urban land uses. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We investigated the full range of vegetation diversity in six wetlands under different land uses of Ethiopia. In total, 122 vascular plant species that belong to 86 genera and 37 families were identified. The family Poaceae and Asteraceae contributed the highest number of species. The beta and Shannon diversity ranged from 3.7 to 10.7 and 1.5–3.4 and differed significantly across wetlands. When considering the land uses, the agricultural and ...
