Variation among plant species in pollutant removal from stormwater in biofiltration systemsJennifer Read
Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration FAWB, School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia
Water Res 42:893-902. 2008..Hence, choice of plant species may have marked effects on biofilter effectiveness...
Plant traits that enhance pollutant removal from stormwater in biofiltration systemsJennifer Read
Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration FAWB, School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria, Australia
Int J Phytoremediation 12:34-53. 2010..g, physiology), causal mechanisms, and effects of more complex planting environments (e.g, species mixtures) should further guide the selection of plants to enhance performance of biofiltration systems...
Correlations between leaf toughness and phenolics among species in contrasting environments of Australia and New CaledoniaJennifer Read
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia
Ann Bot 103:757-67. 2009..Here an investigation is made into the association between carbon-based chemical and mechanical defences, predicting that species that invest heavily in mechanical defence of leaves will invest less in chemical defence...
Species-soil associations, disturbance, and nutrient cycling in an Australian tropical rainforestSean Michael Gleason
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Bld 18, Victoria 3800, Australia
Oecologia 162:1047-58. 2010..Soil-plant-disturbance interactions are likely to engender different fitness-enhancing strategies on fertile and infertile soils, possibly leading to the development and/or maintenance of diversity in rainforests...
Daily patterns of stem size variation in irrigated and unirrigated Eucalyptus globulusDavid M Drew
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Clayton Victoria 3800, Australia
Tree Physiol 28:1573-81. 2008..Most likely due to differences in conductance, the duration but not rate of the incremental daily expansion was greater in fast- than in slow-growing trees...
Wood properties and trunk allometry of co-occurring rainforest canopy trees in a cyclone-prone environmentJennifer Read
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia
Am J Bot 98:1762-72. 2011..We ask whether there is evidence of a trade-off between these traits and growth rate among species...
Mass flowering and parental death in the regeneration of Cerberiopsis candelabra (Apocynaceae), a long-lived monocarpic tree in New Caledonia1Jennifer Read
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia
Am J Bot 95:558-67. 2008..However, the degree to which regeneration relies on synchronous flowering and gregariousness vs. infrequent catastrophic disturbances remains uncertain...
Changes in resource concentration and defence during leaf development in a tough-leaved (Nothofagus moorei) and soft-leaved (Toona ciliata) speciesCharlotte Brunt
School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Vic, 3800, Australia
Oecologia 148:583-92. 2006..These results are consistent with leaf toughness acting as an effective anti-herbivore defence, thereby reducing the need for investment in chemical defence...
