Fungal ecological strategies reflected in gene transcription - a case study of two litter decomposers. [PDF]
, 2019 Microbial communities interplay with their environment through their functional traits that can be a response or an effect on the environment. Here, we explore how a functional trait-the decomposition of organic matter, can be addressed based on genetic ...

Parallel functional and stoichiometric trait shifts in South American and African forest communities with elevation [PDF]
, 2017 The Amazon and Congo basins are the two largest continuous blocks of tropical forest with a central role for global biogeochemical cycles and ecology. However, both biomes differ in structure and species richness and composition.

Aspects of forest biomass in the earth system: Its role and major unknowns
, 2019 Forests are a major and diverse land cover occupying a third of the terrestrial vegetated surface; they store 50 to 65% of terrestrial organic carbon (including the soil) and contribute half to terrestrial productivity. Forest biomass stores close to 80%

Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]
, 2011 The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.
