Drought effect on plant biomass allocation: A meta‐analysis

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Drought is one of the abiotic stresses controlling plant function and ecological stability. In the context of climate change, drought is predicted to occur more frequently in the future. Despite numerous attempts to clarify the overall effects of drought

Novel approach for identifying VOC emission characteristics based on mobile monitoring platform data and deep learning: Application of source apportionment in a chemical industrial park

Heliyon
Refined volatile organic compound (VOC) emission characteristics are crucial for accurate source apportionment in chemical industrial parks. The data from mobile monitoring platforms in chemical industrial parks contain pollution information that is not ...

Ecological Insights into the Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Microbial Consortia [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2017
Plant biomass (PB) is an important resource for biofuel production. However, the frequent lack of efficiency of PB saccharification is still an industrial bottleneck. The use of enzyme cocktails produced from PB-degrading microbial consortia (PB-dmc) is a promising approach to optimize this process.

A theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecology

Ecology, 2019
We propose four postulates as the minimum set of logical propositions necessary for a theory of pulse dynamics and disturbance in ecosystems: (1) resource dynamics characterizes the magnitude, rate, and duration of resource change caused by pulse events,
