Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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 ...

Gongye shui chuli, 2014 采用超声处理装置对油田含聚污水进行了处理，研究了超声功率、超声作用时间、超声频率和超声处理温度对含聚污水黏度和可生化性的影响。试验结果表明，超声波的空化效果可以将一部分难生化降解的聚合物转化为黏度较低的易降解的小分子物质，污水的可生化指数大大提高。功率的提高有利于污水黏度的降低和可生化指数的提高；频率对污水的可生化性影响较大；在低温下有利于污水黏度的降低和可生化性指数的提高。

Herbivory enhances cadmium foraging in the invasive hyperaccumulating plant Phytolacca americana
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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 ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil salinization and alkalization often suppress microbial functional activity, triggering negative feedback loops in microbial metabolism, degrading nutrients and agricultural productivity.

Gongye shui chuli, 2014 对电化学还原—氧化降解甲苯硝化废水进行了研究，考察了不同电流密度和反应时间对降解效果的影响，并且考察了出水的可生化性以及生物毒性的变化。结果表明：在最佳电流密度20 mA/cm2，最佳处理时间4 h下，硝化废水的SUVA（废水芳香性指标）去除率可以达到56.4%，COD去除率为26.6%，B/C由原水的0.115提高到0.435，急性生物毒性也有明显降低，TU值由原先的285.7降低为41.7。说明电化学还原—氧化法对硝化废水可生化性的提高，毒性的降低是有显著作用的。

Journal of Analytical Psychology, EarlyView.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

A systematic review of avian influenza virus transmission models: Gaps and opportunities
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) increasingly threatens wild birds, poultry, non‐human mammals and humans, yet gaps and opportunities in avian influenza virus (AIV) transmission modelling have not been comprehensively synthesized.

ggNetView: An R package for reproducible biological network analysis and visualization
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Biological network analysis has become an important approach for investigating interactions among microorganisms, genes, proteins, and environmental variables across ecology, microbiology, and molecular biology. In practice, however, turning an inferred network into a clear figure and a full set of downstream topology and module analyses ...

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing
