Spatial and temporal variability of macrobenthic communities in Chalus Shore of the Caspian Sea
The changes in density and biomass of macrobenthos were seasonally investigated from winter 2005 till fall 2006 in southern Caspian Sea. Samples were taken with a 225cm2 Van Veen grab from depths of 7 and 20 meters along two transects: Line 8 area ...

Nitrogen additions and microbial biomass: a meta-analysis of ecosystem studies.
Nitrogen (N) enrichment is an element of global change that could influence the growth and abundance of many organisms. In this meta-analysis, I synthesized responses of microbial biomass to N additions in 82 published field studies.

The catalytic conversion of CO2 into value‐added products provides an emerging strategy for reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental performance. This review compares different Life Cycle Assessment studies to evaluate the environmental impacts of CO2 conversion, focusing on the main challenges, technical limitations, and potential ...

The study discusses synthesis strategies of metal‐free heteroatom‐doped nanocarbon materials from biomass for use in rechargeable zinc–air batteries. It also covers the significance of these materials as electrocatalysts and electrodes for improving the oxygen reduction and evolution reactionsin.

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas
Abstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...
