Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen deposition disrupts plant–herbivore interactions, but its impact on leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs)‐mediated multi‐trophic herbivore resistance remains unclear within the context of plant invasion. In this study, we initially investigated the

Plant invasion in mountain ecosystems reduces soil micro‐food web complexity at higher elevations
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic activities have accelerated plant invasions in mountain ecosystems, impacting the structure and functions of native plant communities. Changes in above‐ground vegetation can drive shifts in below‐ground biota, yet the effects of plant invasions on soil ...

Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological invasions and heavy metal pollution are two pervasive environmental challenges threatening global ecosystems. While the elemental defence hypothesis posits that certain plants accumulate heavy metals to deter herbivores, it remains unclear whether invasive ...

采用首例微气泡催化臭氧化—生化耦合工程装置深度处理煤化工废水,对其长期连续运行性能进行评估。结果表明,该工程装置能够稳定可靠运行,微气泡催化臭氧化可有效降解大分子有机污染物并改善废水可生化性,耦合生化处理可进一步去除小分子产物。较优运行条件下,整体COD去除率为57.5%,臭氧投加量/COD去除量为0.63。生化处理中细菌种群受有机污染物变化和DO浓度影响较大。该工程装置为微气泡催化臭氧化-生化耦合工艺实际应用提供了良好示范。

Abstract Written as a letter to my 28‐year‐old self, this paper explores the development of my engagement with cultural complexes. On August 18, 2009, I finished a chapter applying cultural complexes to a history of China, complete with elaborate charts that seemed to confirm a process by which cultural complexes are formed, and how China’s then recent

采用O3/UV/H2O2耦合工艺对成分复杂、可生化性差的兰州某石化企业二级出水进行预处理,分析了不同因素对COD去除率及废水可生化性的影响.结果表明,当O3投加量为62.63 mg/L,UV功率为25 W,照射时间为15 min,n(H2O2)/n(O3)为0.5,原水pH为9时,COD去除率可达29.34%,BOD5/COD可由0.05增加到0.34.此工艺对石化二级出水水质具有明显的改善作用,同时大幅提升了废水的可生化性.
