Plant ecology is a subdiscipline of ecology that studies the distribution and abundance of plants, the effects of environmental factors upon the abundance of plants, and the interactions among plants and between plants and other organisms. [1]

2022年7月29日 · Plants define forest and grassland systems, shaping hydrologic systems and nutrient cycling, providing the basis for food systems and shelter for wildlife, and often driving local economies.

2025年1月16日 · Plant - Ecology, Habitats, Adaptations: Plants occur over Earth's surface in well-defined patterns, closely correlated with climate and the planet's history. Forests are the most important of these natural communities by a number of standards, as well as being the principal reservoir of biodiversity on land.

Plant ecology examines the relationships between plants and their physical and biotic environment. Plants are mostly sessile and photosynthetic organisms, and must attain their light, water, and nutrient resources directly from the immediate environment.

2023年12月29日 · Plant ecology is the study of plant interactions with their environment, at the level of individuals, and of how plant-plant interactions mediate environmental interactions at the level of populations, communities, and ecosystems.

2025年1月11日 · Role in Ecosystem Dynamics. Plants are integral to ecosystem dynamics, serving as the foundation for food webs and influencing the structure and function of their environments. Their ability to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis provides the primary energy source that sustains herbivores and, subsequently, higher trophic levels.

2024年11月23日 · Plant biodiversity is invaluable because it balances ecosystems, protects watersheds, mitigates erosion, moderates climate, and provides shelter for animals. Threats to plant biodiversity include the increasing human population, pollution, deforestation, and …

2024年8月30日 · Understanding the role of plants in ecosystems is essential for appreciating their importance and the need to protect and preserve them for future generations.

Plant ecosystems form the very foundation of life on Earth. They provide us with food, clean air, and countless other benefits. Preserving and protecting these delicate ecosystems is not only crucial for the well-being of plants and animals but also for the long-term sustainability of …

2021年9月22日 · We show that two state-of-the-art land surface models reproduce the first and most important axis of ecosystem functions.
