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

Seasonal Correction Factors for the Biotic Index [PDF]

The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017
For evaluation of streams with the biotic index (BI), samples of arthropods should be collected in the spring before degree day accumulations of mean air temperatures above 4.5°C reach 440° in warm-water streams, and before they reach 1050° in cold-water

Biotic and abiotic factors contribute to cranberry pollination

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2015
As bee populations continue to decline, farmers face possible crop failures due to insufficient pollination. Crops, however, vary in the degree to which they depend on pollinators, suggesting that some crops may not be as sensitive to variation in ...

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 ...

Fungi That Promote Plant Growth in the Rhizosphere Boost Crop Growth

Journal of Fungi, 2023
The fungi species dwelling in the rhizosphere of crop plants, revealing functions that endeavor sustainability of the plants, are commonly referred to as ‘plant-growth-promoting fungi’ (PGPF).

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.
