Insects and Forest Succession

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractThere is a long-standing, even ancient, belief in Western thought that forests, particularly unmanaged forests relatively free from obvious human impacts, are never-changing; this is the connotation of the German word “urwald” or “original forest” that influenced early thinking on forests from the origins of the emerging scientific disciplines ...

Profiling neoadjuvant therapy response in rectal cancer using meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptomic RNA‐seq datasets

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify molecular signatures associated with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing a combination of multiple cohorts with bioinformatics approaches, we reveal biological pathways and immune‐related features that may improve ...

Remote Sensing of Aboveground Biomass in Tropical Secondary Forests: A Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, 2014
Tropical landscapes are, in general, a mosaic of pasture, agriculture, and forest undergoing various stages of succession. Forest succession is comprised of continuous structural changes over time and results in increases in aboveground biomass (AGB ...

Plant–plant interactions change during succession on nurse logs in a northern temperate rainforest

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Plant–plant interactions change through succession from facilitative to competitive. At early stages of succession, early‐colonizing plants can increase the survival and reproductive output of other plants by ameliorating disturbance and stressful ...

Secondary successions after shifting cultivation in a dense tropical forest of southern Cameroon (Central Africa) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ongoing debate on deforestation in the tropics usually points out agriculture and logging as the main causes. The two activities are often linked and the trails created by logging com-panies with their heavy machines are afterwards used by farmers to

Regeneration in gap models: priority issues for studying forest responses to climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Recruitment algorithms in forest gap models are examined with particular regard to their suitability for simulating forest ecosystem responses to a changing climate. The traditional formulation of recruitment is found limiting in three areas.

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Effect of climatic factors on forest succession in the forest-steppe zone of the Republic of Tatarstan

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2020
The paper analyzes the effect of climatic factors on forest succession in the forest-steppe zone of the Republic of Tatarstan. A reliable relationship was revealed between a decrease of the oak forested area and extremely low frosts in 1939–1940, 1941 ...

Impact of Natural Forest Succession on Changes in Soil Organic Carbon in the Polish Carpathian Mountains

open access: yes, 2022
The main driver of the Carpathian landscape is the process of natural forest succession on the semi-natural meadows unique to the region. Moreover, these semi-natural mountain meadows contribute to ecosystem services, although increasing forest areas are
