Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Evolution of Wetland Patterns and Key Driving Forces in China’s Drylands

Remote Sensing
Wetlands within dryland regions are highly sensitive to climate change and human activities. Based on three types of land use data sources from satellite images and a spatial data analysis, the spatiotemporal characteristics of wetland evolution in China’

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Quantifying tree dependency on imported water in artificial wetlands of arid regions: Insights from isotope analysis

Agricultural Water Management
Artificial wetlands in arid regions are characterized by high evaporation rates, artificially structured vegetation, and a higher proportion of non-drought-tolerant trees compared to natural wetlands.

Effect of hydraulic loading rate and vegetation on phytoremediation with artificial wetlands associated to natural swimming pools

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2019
The treatment of pool water, whether for recreational or sporting purposes, by phytoremediation is widely applied. This work evaluates two artificial vertical flow wetlands, one on a real scale and the other on a laboratory scale, which have been planted

Fish Diversity in an Isolated Artificial Wetland [PDF]

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 1998
ABSTRACT Adult, juvenile and larval fishes were sampled in a managed isolated wetland in the Red Chute Bayou floodplain, LA from December 1994 to July 1995. Nineteen species were captured. Principal components analysis of adult fishes showed little difference between sites, but a gradient of habitats and seasons reflecting variable richness was ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy
