Nitrogen Deposition Enhances Photosynthesis in Moso Bamboo but Increases Susceptibility to Other Stress Factors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition can increase the susceptibility of vascular plants to other stresses, but the physiological basis of such a response remains poorly understood.

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Dwarf shrubs as bioindicators. [PDF]

Silva Fennica, 1981
Several studies of air polluted forest environments have shown that dwarf shrubs suffer from air pollution. In many cases the disturbances have been attributed to the susceptibility of the dwarf shrubs, while in some cases the vegetational competition factor has been discussed.

Long‐Term Legacy of Exotic Pioneers: Over Two Decades of Biodiversity Monitoring Reveals Constrained Succession in a Restored Sanitary Landfill

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term ecological studies are critical for evaluating restoration strategies on challenging sites, such as closed landfills. This study presents a 23‐year biodiversity monitoring program (2000–2023) at the restored Southeast New Territories sanitary landfill in Hong Kong.

Searching for bioindicators of forest fragmentation: passerine birds in the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil Busca por bioindicadores de fragmentação florestal: aves Passeriformes na Floresta Atlântica do Sudeste do Brasil

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2008
Aiming to evaluate the potential of Passerine birds as bioindicators of forest fragmentation, we studied the avifauna in the mountain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro by mist-netting between 2001 and 2005.

Scale‐dependent pathways from land use to fish diversity: eDNA analysis reveals water quality as key mediator in the Nanliu River Basin

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐induced land‐use change poses substantial risks to aquatic biodiversity; however, the multi‐scale pathways linking land‐use patterns to fish diversity remain insufficiently resolved. Focusing on the Nanliu River Basin (Guangxi, China), we integrated environmental DNA (eDNA) detection with partial least squares structural equation ...

Bioindicators selection in the strategies for monitoring microplastic pollution

Ecological Indicators
Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are pervasive pollutants posing significant environmental and health risks. Selecting appropriate sentinel species to assess MNPs in terrestrial and aquatic environments involves considering factors such as species behavior ...
