From shifting agriculture to sustainable rubber agroforestry systems (jungle rubber) in Indonesia: a history of innovations processes. [PDF]

open access: yes
The aim of this chapter is to describe changes in the Indonesian jungle rubber system from the angle of the production of innovation by farmers themselves (indigenous knowledge) and the process of integration of external technical innovations in an ...

The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Long‐term protection in grasslands enhances soil carbon storage through reduced disturbance and community trait diversity–environment adaptations

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how ecological disturbance and plant community traits regulate soil carbon storage is critical for predicting ecosystem feedbacks to global change and designing sustainable land‐use strategies.

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...
