Estimating Urban Vegetation Biomass from Sentinel-2A Image Data

open access: yesForests, 2020
Urban vegetation biomass is a key indicator of the carbon storage and sequestration capacity and ecological effect of an urban ecosystem. Rapid and effective monitoring and measurement of urban vegetation biomass provide not only an understanding of ...

Genomic Variation Underpins Genetic Divergence and Differing Salt Resilience in Sesbania bispinosa

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sesbania, a leguminous halophyte, thrives in saline soils. Comparative genomics reveals key genomic variations—particularly chromosomal inversions—are identified as contributors to population differentiation and salt resilience. These findings advance the understanding of genomic variation driving evolution and phenotypic differentiation and offer ...

Scaling up the curvature of mammalian metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
A curvilinear relationship between mammalian metabolic rate and body size on a log-log scale has been adopted in lieu of thelongstanding concept of a 3/4 allometric relationship (Kolokotrones et al. 2010).

Consequences of different sample drying temperatures for accuracy of biomass inventories in forest ecosystems

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Biomass estimation is one of the crucial tasks of forest ecology. Drying tree material is a crucial stage of preparing biomass estimation tools. However, at this step researchers use different drying temperatures, but we do not know how this influences ...

Effects of temporal variability of disturbance on the succession in marine fouling communities in northern-central Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We investigated the effects of temporal variability in a disturbance regime on fouling communities at two study sites in a northern-central Chilean bay. Fouling assemblages grown on artificial settlement substrata were disturbed by mechanical removal of ...

Prototypical Biomass-Fired Micro-Cogeneration Systems—Energy and Ecological Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Combined heat and power systems dedicated to micro-scale applications are currently increasing in popularity. The use of such systems is beneficial from the standpoint of increasing the usage of renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. This paper shows two examples of prototypical micro-cogeneration

Targeted Intervention Strategies for Maternal–Offspring Transmission of Christensenellaceae in Pigs via a Deep Learning Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study deciphers maternal‐driven microbial transmission in pigs using a deep learning model (maternal–offspring microbial transmission model), identifying Christensenellaceae R‐7 group as a key transmitted taxon. Filtered galacto‐oligosaccharides‐targeted Christensenellaceae R‐7 group alters offspring microbial functions via maternal ...

Herbaceous production in South India-limiting factors and implications for large herbivores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This study's goal was to better understand the growth pattern and limitations of the herbaceous production that supports South India's rich large herbivore grazer assemblage. We conducted a fully factorial nitrogen and water (three levels each) treatment

Assessing the ecological status of Italian lagoons using a biomass-based index

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
We compared the performance of abundance- and biomass-based M-AMBI in the 13 major Italian lagoons, using a benthic dataset constituted by 208 sampling sites. The relative importance of ecological groups changed when using abundance or biomass, sometimes leading to an improved ecological status classification.

A Novel nor@DHB Matrix for Direct Microbial Analysis in Lung Cancer Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry workflow quantifies intratumoral microbes in lung cancer through lipopolysaccharide/lipid A extraction from biopsies. The novel ionic matrix called norharmane conjugated to 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid enhances lipid A ionization, enabling direct detection of bacterial genera ...
