Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2566-2578, November 2021., 2021 The development of fungicide resistance greatly threatens food security and ecological sustainability, and it is urgent need to develop agricultural practices which can ameliorate this problem. Our results show that potato crop with a genetic diversity is associated with a late blight pathogen of higher fungicide sensitivity and lower potential of ...

Quantifying biases in marine‐protected‐area placement relative to abatable threats
Conservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 1350-1359, December 2019., 2019 Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a critical defense against biodiversity loss in the world's oceans, but to realize near‐term conservation benefits, they must be established where major threats to biodiversity occur and can be mitigated. We quantified the degree to which MPA establishment has targeted stoppable threats (i.e., threats that can

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Reactive oxygen species act as signaling molecules to control root hair initiation and tip growth
New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2042-2048, September 2025.Summary Root hairs (RHs) increase the surface area of roots, facilitating nutrient and water uptake and plant anchorage. RHs form from root epidermal cells and elongate by polar tip growth. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been implicated as important signals that drive RH formation and elongation using both genetic and imaging approaches ...

Remote sensing estimation on regional continuous daily evapotranspiration based on Richards equation [PDF]
Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important part of water cycle in nature, and the estimation of evapotranspiration on spatio-temporal scale has always been a hot issue. Remote sensing can estimate evapotranspiration on regional scale, but it is difficult to

聚乙二醇(PEG)模拟水分胁迫对木荷种子萌发的影响 [PDF]
, 2007 采用聚乙二醇(PEG)模拟水分胁迫对木荷种子萌发的影响,结果表明:无论是水培还是沙培、避光还是光照下,木荷种子萌发率、幼苗高度都是随PEG浓度的增加而降低,都在PEG浓度为20%时达到最低;幼苗的相对含水量没有随PEG浓度的增加依次递减;水培自然光照下的萌发率>沙培恢复光照的萌发率>沙培避光的萌发率。由此说明避光能抑制木荷种子萌发,特别是在干旱 ...

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2616-2629, September 2025.Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,
