A new estimate of carbon for Bangladesh forest ecosystems with their spatial distribution and REDD+ implications [PDF]

, 2014
In tropical developing countries, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is becoming an important mechanism for conserving forests and protecting biodiversity. A key prerequisite for any successful REDD+ project, however, is

Lattice Genome Framework for Regionally Tailored Component‐Level Multi‐Objective Design in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Lattice Genome framework links geometric and process “genes” to lattice “phenotypes” via correction‐calibrated high‐throughput simulations and a growing performance database. Genome‐driven retrieval and recombination of unit cells enables component‐level, regionally tailored multi‐objective design: stress fields are programmed under constant relative

RNAi of AGAMOUS genes in sweetgum alters reproductive organ identity and decreases fruit persistence

Plant Direct, 2020
Sweetgums (Liquidambar), members of the family Altingiaceae (Altingiales), have inflorescences and floral organs that are distinctive in structure compared with other angiosperms in which the roles of floral homeotic genes have been studied.

The Costs of Ecosystem Adaptation: Methodology and Estimates for Indian Forests [PDF]

This paper presents a detailed methodology for estimating the cost of adaptation to climate change impacts on ecosystems. Up to date estimates are built-up following national investments in measures such as protected areas, with inaccurate estimates of ...

Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity : a synthesis [PDF]

, 2009
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is it recognized threat to plant diversity ill temperate and northern parts of Europe and North America. This paper assesses evidence from field experiments for N deposition effects and thresholds for terrestrial plant

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Forecasting Root Rot Disease through Predictive Microbial Functional Profiling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Predicting soil‐borne disease moves beyond observation with a framework that elevates microbial functional genes into reliable forecasting biomarkers. By coupling targeted qPCR assays for core stress‐response genes with machine learning, this method detects root rot risks in pre‐symptomatic soils with over 80% accuracy.

Synergistic Effects of Climate and Land-Cover Change on Long-Term Bird Population Trends of the Western USA: A Test of Modeled Predictions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Climate and land-use change are predicted to lead to widespread changes in population dynamics, but quantitative predictions on the relative effects of these stressors have not yet been examined empirically.
