Specific root length regulated the rhizosphere effect on denitrification across distinct macrophytes

Geoderma
Macrophytes influence nitrogen (N) removal from wetlands. However, the specific plant traits responsible for this effect and the related microbial mechanisms remain largely unknown, especially root traits.

Threats Posed to the Rediscovered and Rare Salvia ceratophylloides Ard. (Lamiaceae) by Borer and Seed Feeder Insect Species

Diversity, 2021
The effects of herbivorous insects on a plant population are not always well tolerated. This is especially true if the herbivorous actions are directed toward rare plant species. Salvia ceratophylloides Ard.

Understanding the chemodiversity of plants: Quantification, variation and ecological function

Ecological Monographs
Plants produce a great number of phytochemicals serving a variety of different functions. Recently, the chemodiversity of these compounds (i.e., the diversity of compounds produced by a plant) has been suggested to be an important aspect of the plant ...

Functional Molecular Ecological Networks [PDF]

mBio, 2010
ABSTRACT Biodiversity and its responses to environmental changes are central issues in ecology and for society. Almost all microbial biodiversity research focuses on “species” richness and abundance but not on their interactions. Although a network approach is powerful in describing ecological interactions among species, defining

Identification of Keystone Plant Species for Avian Foraging and Nesting in Beijing’s Forest Ecosystems: Implications for Urban Forest Bird Conservation

Animals
Urban wildlife conservation is emerging as a critical component of sustainable city ecosystems. Rather than simply increasing tree abundance or species richness, conservation management should focus on key species. In this research, Xishan Forest Park in

The Delineation and Ecological Connectivity of the Three Parallel Rivers Natural World Heritage Site

Biology, 2022
Landscape connectivity refers to the degree of continuity between the spatially structured units of a landscape. Ecological connectivity can characterise the degree to which ecological functional areas are connected in terms of function and ecological ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Diversity and Ecological Functions of Anthocyanins

BMC Plant Biology
Anthocyanins are well known as colorants of flowers, but many other invisible functions might have been more important during the evolution of complex biosynthesis networks in plants. The number of anthocyanin decorating enzymes, the subtle control of structural genes by numerous transcription factors, and routes of intracellular anthocyanin transport ...

Current status of microplastic pollution in China’s aquatic environment and its interactions with metal pollutants on aquatic organisms

Water Research X
Microplastics have become pervasive pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, raising global concerns due to their persistence and ecological risks. Despite increasing attention in China, a comprehensive review of their distribution and interactions with metal ...
