Plant compensation to grazing and soil carbon dynamics in a tropical grassland [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The effects of grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, particularly in the tropics, are still poorly understood. Plant compensation to grazing, whereby plants maintain leaf area (C input capacity) despite consumption (C removal) by grazers, has ...

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2021 Grassland ecosystems are essential for biomass production but are prone to degradation if management practices are inappropriate. Thus, it is necessary to optimize grazing management since the grazing practices and grassland status are interconnected ...

Patchy zooplankton grazing and high energy conversion efficiency: Ecological implications of sandeel behavior and strategy [PDF]
, 2013 Sandeel display strong site-fidelity, and spend most of their life buried in the seabed. This strategy carries important ecological implications. Sandeels save energy when they are not foraging but in return are unable to move substantially and therefore

Regiorandom Polythiophenes for Fully Stretchable Electrochemical Transistors and Logic Circuits
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Regiorandom (RRa) polythiophenes, once regarded as unsuitable for electronics, exhibit exceptional switching performance via volumetric electrochemical doping. Optimized RRa‐based organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) achieve a high on/off ratio (≈104), stable operation under 200% strain, and enable fully stretchable logic gates, demonstrating ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The shape of guanine self‐assemblies is tuned by introducing alkyl (G8), fluoroalkyl (G8f), and oligoether (G8g) side chains into the G moiety. The scanning tunneling microscopy results and calculations show that the presence and type of the side chain strongly affect the G self‐assembly network.
