Models and estimators linking individual-based and sample-based rarefaction, extrapolation and comparison of assemblages

Robert K. Colwell, Anne Chao, N. J. Gotelli et al. · 12 Jan 2012

In ecology and conservation biology, the number of species counted in a biodiversity study is a key metric but is usually a biased underestimate of total species richness because many rare species are not detected. Moreover, comparing species richness among sites or samples is a statistical challenge because the observed number of species is sensitive…

Remote sensing imagery in vegetation mapping: a review

Yichun Xie, Zongyao Sha, Mei Yu · 1 Mar 2008

Mapping vegetation through remotely sensed images involves various considerations, processes and techniques. Increasing availability of remotely sensed images due to the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology expands the horizon of our choices of imagery sources. Various sources of imagery are known for their differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristics and thus are…

Rates of litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: global patterns and controlling factors

Deqiang Zhang, Dafeng Hui, Yiqi Luo et al. · 13 Mar 2008

We aim to construct a comprehensive global database of litter decomposition rate (k value) estimated by surface floor litterbags, and investigate the direct and indirect effects of impact factors such as geographic factors (latitude and altitude), climatic factors (mean annual tempePlrature, MAT; mean annual precipitation, MAP) and litter quality factors (the contents of N, P,…

An updated megaphylogeny of plants, a tool for generating plant phylogenies and an analysis of phylogenetic community structure

Hong Qian, Yi Jin · 15 Jun 2015

The aim of this article is 3-fold. First, we present an updated version of a published megaphylogeny of vascular plants that can be used in studies of plant ecology and biogeography. Second, we develop a tool that can be used by botanists and plant ecologists to generate phylogenetic hypotheses in three scenarios. Third, we use…

glmm.hp: an R package for computing individual effect of predictors in generalized linear mixed models

Jiangshan Lai, Yi Zou, Shuang Zhang et al. · 24 Nov 2022

Abstract Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) have been widely used in contemporary ecology studies. However, determination of the relative importance of collinear predictors (i.e. fixed effects) to response variables is one of the challenges in GLMMs. Here, we developed a novel R package, glmm.hp, to decompose marginal R2 explained by fixed effects in GLMMs. The…

Journal of Plant Ecology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Plant Ecology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Plant Ecology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Plant Ecology use?
Journal of Plant Ecology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Plant Ecology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Plant Ecology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Journal of Plant Ecology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Plant Ecology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Plant Ecology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Plant Ecology?
Journal of Plant Ecology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Journal of Plant Ecology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Plant Ecology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Plant Ecology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Plant Ecology template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Plant Ecology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Plant Ecology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
