Insights into the Biotic Factors Shaping Ectomycorrhizal Associations [PDF]

Biology
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) associations are essential symbiotic relationships that contribute significantly to the health and functioning of forest ecosystems. This review examines the biotic factors that influence EM associations, focusing on plant and fungal

Influence of pH, light, food concentration and temperature in Aedes aegypti Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) larval development

EntomoBrasilis, 2022
Aedes aegypti Linnaeus mosquito is a vector of several viruses that cause diseases of medical and veterinary importance. Dengue, yellow fever, Zika and Chikungunya viruses are more important arboviruses transmit by mosquitoes. A. aegypti life cycle goes

Species Diversity Regulates Ecological Strategy Spectra of Forest Vegetation Across Different Climatic Zones

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Ecological strategy is the tactics employed by species in adapting to abiotic and biotic conditions. The ecological strategy spectrum is defined as the relative proportion of species in different ecological strategy types within a community. Determinants

Contrasting influences of two dominant plants, Dasiphora fruticosa and Ligularia virguarea, on aboveground and belowground communities in an alpine meadow

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Soil organisms are abundant, phylogenetically and functionally diverse, and interact to catalyse and regulate critical soil processes. Understanding what structures belowground communities is therefore fundamental to gaining insight into ecosystem ...

Scale‐dependent effects of species diversity on aboveground biomass and productivity in a subtropical broadleaved forest on Mt. Huangshan

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The relationship between species diversity and biomass/productivity is a major scientific question in ecology. Exploring this relationship is essential to understanding the mechanisms underpinning the maintenance of biodiversity.

Characterization of the Plant‒Soil feedback index in alpine meadow degradation and recovery: A field experiment

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Most plant‒soil feedback studies have been conducted on the mechanism by which soil directly influences plant growth performance and mostly in indoor pot experiments; however, it is unclear how plant‒soil feedback is influenced by plant, soil and ...

Extrinsic and intrinsic factors influencing the emergence and return of the Asian particolored bat Vespertilio sinensis to the summer roost

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Circadian rhythms play a crucial role in the health and survival of organisms. However, little is known concerning how intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect animal daily rhythms in the field, especially in nocturnal animals.

Decomposers found on a partially decomposed caimito (Chrysophyllum cainito): Example of a log ecosystem

Davao Research Journal, 2020
Decomposers are integral parts of our ecosystem, breaking down matter and releasing it back into the soil for other living things to utilize instead of remaining unused in the tissues of dead animals and plants.
