Changes in growth of tropical forests: evaluating potential biases [PDF]

, 2002
Over the past century almost every ecosystem on Earth has come under the influence of changes in atmospheric composition and climate caused by human activity.

Biomass of Bacterioplankton and Protists and Their Ecological Importance in the Bering Sea

Ocean and Polar Research, 2004
Abstract : The abundance, biomass and distribution of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and heterotrophicprotists in the Bering Sea were investigated from July to August 1999. Chlorophyll a concentrations in thesurface waters ranged from 0.16 to 3.79 µg l −1 .

Alginate‐Sludge Derived Biochar‐Calcium Hydrogel for Phosphate Removal and Slow‐Release Fertilizer: A Sustainable and Multifunctional Solution

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An alginate‐based biochar hydrogel (ABC‐hydrogel), derived from sewage sludge, is developed for simultaneous phosphate removal and agricultural reuse. It captures phosphorus from water and gradually releases it as fertilizer, enhancing lettuce growth.

Sorting things out: Assessing effects of unequal specimen biomass on DNA metabarcoding

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Environmental bulk samples often contain many different taxa that vary several orders of magnitude in biomass. This can be problematic in DNA metabarcoding and metagenomic high‐throughput sequencing approaches, as large specimens contribute ...

Coral cover a stronger driver of reef fish trophic biomass than fishing

Ecological Applications, 2020
An influential paradigm in coral reef ecology is that fishing causes trophic cascades through reef fish assemblages, resulting in reduced herbivory and thus benthic phase shifts from coral to algal dominance.

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

WATCHING GRASS GROW- A PILOT STUDY ON THE SUITABILITY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUES FOR QUANTIFYING CHANGE IN ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS IN GRASSLAND EXPERIMENTS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
Grassland ecology experiments in remote locations requiring quantitative analysis of the biomass in defined plots are becoming increasingly widespread, but are still limited by manual sampling methodologies. To provide a cost-effective automated solution

First detection of the bloom forming Unruhdinium penardii (Dinophyceae) in a Mediterranean reservoir: insights on its ecology, morphology and genetics

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2021
The freshwater genus Unruhdinium includes dinoflagellates hosting a tertiary diatom endosymbiont. Some of the species belonging to this genus form high-biomass blooms.

Multiple abiotic and biotic pathways shape biomass demographic processes in temperate forests

Ecology, 2019
Forests play a key role in regulating the global carbon cycle, and yet the abiotic and biotic conditions that drive the demographic processes that underpin forest carbon dynamics remain poorly understood in natural ecosystems.

Allometry rather than abiotic drivers explains biomass allocation among leaves, stems and roots of Artemisia across a large environmental gradient in China

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Biomass allocation patterns reflect the adaptive strategies of plants growing in different environments, which is a central issue in comparative plant ecology and evolution. However, the factors underpinning specific allocation patterns across organs and
