Transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals key genes and secondary metabolites of Casuarina equisetifolia ssp. incana in response to drought stress

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Casuarina equisetifolia is drought tolerant, salt tolerant, and able to grow in barren environments. It is often used to reduce wind damage, to prevent sand erosion, and to help establish plant communities in tropical and subtropical coastal zones.

Bryophyte diversity is related to vascular plant diversity and microhabitat under disturbance in karst caves

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Plant diversity, habitat properties, and their relationships in karst caves remain poorly understood. We surveyed vascular plant and bryophyte diversities and measured the habitat characteristics in six karst caves in south China with different ...

Abundant fungal and rare bacterial taxa jointly reveal soil nutrient cycling and multifunctionality in uneven-aged mixed plantations

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Uneven-aged silvicultural practices can maintain habitat continuity and enhance biodiversity. Soil microorganisms play critical roles in multiple ecosystem functions (i.e., multifunctionality). However, little is currently known regarding the role of the

The value of carbon sequestration and storage in coastal habitats [PDF]

, 2014
Coastal margin habitats are globally significant in terms of their capacity to sequester and store carbon, but their continuing decline, due to environmental change and human land use decisions, is reducing their capacity to provide this ecosystem ...
