From shade avoidance responses to plant performance at vegetation level: using virtual plant modelling as a tool [PDF]

, 2014
The shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) is one of the best-studied forms of plant phenotypic plasticity. The suite of SAS responses enables plants to accurately match their phenotype to the light conditions determined by neighbouring plants, especially the ...

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

Different ways to die in a changing world: Consequences of climate change for tree species performance and survival through an ecophysiological perspective

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Anthropogenic activities such as uncontrolled deforestation and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are responsible for triggering a series of environmental imbalances that affect the Earth's complex climate dynamics.

The integrated reproductive response: the scope for seasonal phenotypic flexibility shapes reproductive outcomes across fish populations

Oikos, EarlyView.
Across north‐temperate environments, rapid environmental change has disrupted the seasonal life histories of resident organisms, decreasing the reliability of environmental cues. Flexible responses capable of buffering the effects of unpredictable environmental variation to defend performance and reproductive outcomes may thus be key to species‐ and ...

Ethylene-mediated nitric oxide depletion pre-adapts plants to hypoxia stress

Nature Communications, 2019
Plant hypoxia responses are controlled by oxygen and nitric oxide (NO)-dependent proteolysis of ERFVII transcription factors. Here Hartman et al. show that passive ethylene entrapment during root submergence enhances NO-scavenger PHYTOGLOBIN1, ERFVII ...

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

A plant chamber system with downstream reaction chamber to study the effects of pollution on biogenic emissions [PDF]

, 2014
A system of two plant chambers and a downstream reaction chamber has been set up to investigate the emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and possible effects of pollutants such as ozone. The system can be used to compare BVOC emissions

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Extracellular enzymatic activities of octocorals and scleractinian corals under environmental stress

Scientific Reports
Extracellular enzymes, released by coral holobionts (coral host, symbiotic dinoflagellates and associated microorganisms) are involved in nutrient cycling and can serve as diagnostic indicators of coral health and reef ecosystem functionality.

Above-ground plant interactions: consequences for growth and volatile emission [PDF]

, 2013
The environment that plants grow in can be highly dynamic through a plant’s lifetime. In many cases, plants have to compete with other plants in their direct surroundings for a limited pool of resources.
