Cuticular waxes in alpine grassland plants: Chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and ecological adaptation with biotechnological insights

Grassland Research
Cuticular waxes, complex hydrophobic layers coating alpine grassland plants, are critical for survival in extreme environments characterized by freezing temperatures, intense UV‐B radiation, and physiological drought.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...

The Grassland–Shrubland Regime Shift in the Southwestern United States: Misconceptions and Their Implications for Management

BioScience, 2018
Transitions from semiarid grassland to shrubland states are among the most widely recognized examples of regime shifts in terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the processes causing grassland–shrubland transitions and their consequences are incompletely ...

Evolutionary characteristics, influencing factors of livestock and poultry meat production in China and its future trends

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
By reviewing the development history, this study summarizes the main factors and corresponding pathways that affect the evolution of meat production in China from both internal and external perspectives. Based on this, we predict future development trends.

Trichoderma Biofertilizer Links to Altered Soil Chemistry, Altered Microbial Communities, and Improved Grassland Biomass

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In grasslands, forage and livestock production results in soil nutrient deficits as grasslands typically receive no nutrient inputs, leading to a loss of grassland biomass.

Standardizing Visualization in Ancient Maya Lidar Research: Techniques, Challenges and Recommendations

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airborne laser scanning (ALS, lidar) has become a key method for studying ancient Maya landscapes, offering unprecedented visibility of anthropogenic terrain modifications in densely forested environments. Despite this progress, the visualization of elevation data remains understandardized, with many researchers relying on ad hoc or ...

Exacerbated grassland degradation and desertification in Central Asia during 2000-2014.

Ecological Applications, 2018
Grassland degradation and desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies hardly separated the two components and analyzed it
