Effect of Intercropping Oat (Avena sativa) and Common Vetch (Vicia sativa) on Yield and Nutritional Composition of Hay

Agriculture
Substantial tracts of fallow farmland remain unutilized across southwestern China throughout winter and spring. To explore a high-yield planting pattern for utilizing such fallow land, a cereal–legume intercropping experiment was conducted in Chengdu in ...

Photosynthetic performance and carbon metabolism in the ear organs of oats under drought stress

Frontiers in Plant Science
Sufficiently exploiting the potential of crop photosynthesis is one of the critical ways for improving cultivation production to face global climate change. In this study, oat plants were potted with three watering treatments.

Comprehensive GWAS and omics profiling identify key genetic factors and metabolic pathways for oat's low-phosphorus tolerance

Plant Stress
Phosphorus deficiency is a major constraint to crop productivity, particularly in cereals like oat (Avena sativa L.). In this study, 180 diverse oat accessions were evaluated under normal phosphorus (NP) and low phosphorus (LP) hydroponic conditions to ...

Conservative allocation strategy of nitrogen and phosphorus among leaves, stems and roots of Artemisia species

BMC Plant Biology
Background Understanding the allocation of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) among various plant organs is crucial for gaining insights into plant nutrient uptake, utilization strategies, and overall growth and life history strategies.

Genetic diversity analysis of phenotypic and agronomic traits in oat germplasm resources

Frontiers in Plant Science
The evaluation of genetic diversity in germplasm resources is fundamental to crop breeding. A total of 183 oat germplasm resources were evaluated through field trials at Xinjin District and Shandan County, located in southern and northern China ...

Seasonal variations in carbon dioxide exchange in an alpine wetland meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
Alpine wetland meadow could functions as a carbon sink due to it high soil organic content and low decomposition. However, the magnitude and dynamics of carbon stock in alpine wetland ecosystems are not well quantified.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Haplotype-resolved genomes of two buckwheat crops provide insights into their contrasted rutin concentrations and reproductive systems

BMC Biology, 2023
Background Two widely cultivated annual buckwheat crops, Fagopyrum esculentum and F. tataricum, differ from each other in both rutin concentration and reproductive system. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. Results Here,

Seasonality and Vertical Structure of Microbial Communities in Alpine Wetlands

Microorganisms
The soil microbial community plays a crucial role in the elemental cycling and energy flow within wetland ecosystems. The temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of soil microbial communities are central topics in ecology. While numerous studies have focused on wetland microbial community structures at low altitudes, microbial diversity across ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...
