Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Sobol\u27 sensitivity analysis of the Holocene Peat Model: What drives carbon accumulation in peatlands? [PDF]
Understanding the development of northern peatlands and their carbon accumulation dynamics is crucial in order to confidently integrate northern peatlands into global carbon cycle models.

Piping and woody plants in peatlands: Cause or effect? [PDF]
This paper presents, for the first time, evidence to show that Calluna species are one causative factor of piping in blanket peat catchments. Ground-penetrating radar survey on 960 plots illustrated that piping was prevalent throughout blanket peats ...

A new model of Holocene peatland net primary production, decomposition, water balance, and peat accumulation [PDF]
Peatland carbon and water cycling are tightly coupled, so dynamic modeling of peat accumulation over decades to millennia should account for carbon-water feedbacks.

Tropical peat swamp forest is a global store of carbon in a water-saturated, anoxic and acidic environment. This ecosystem holds diverse prokaryotic communities that play a major role in nutrient cycling. A study was conducted in which a total of 24 peat

Testing the use of bomb radiocarbon to date the surface layers of blanket peat [PDF]
The recently formed surface layers of peatlands are archives of past environmental conditions and can have a temporal resolution considerably greater than deeper layers.

Effect of reconstituted method on shear strength properties of peat [PDF]
Peat is an organic soil contains more than 75% organic content. Shear strength of the soil is one of the most important parameters in engineering design, especially during the pre-construction and post-construction periods, since used to evaluate the ...

Ecohydrologically important subsurface structures in peatlands revealed by ground-penetrating radar and complex conductivity surveys. [PDF]
The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow.

Transparent, Sprayable Plastic Films for Luminescent Down‐Shifted‐Assisted Plant Growth
Spreading the light: A modular approach to down‐shifting europium‐containing polyoxotitanium luminescent cages is developed, allowing their incorporation into sprayable plastic coatings on agricultural greenhouses for accelerated plant growth. Abstract The world's steadily growing population and global heating due to climate change are a threat to food

Transient simulations of the carbon and nitrogen dynamics in northern peatlands: from the Last Glacial Maximum to the 21st century [PDF]
The development of northern high-latitude peatlands played an important role in the carbon (C) balance of the land biosphere since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).
