BMC Plant BiologyBackground Plant economic profiles involve trade-offs between many functional traits of a plant that are often used as indicators to characterize major adaptive strategies, thus providing insights into plant distribution, ecosystem processes, and ...

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract Continuous neutral‐alcohol and food‐grade ethanol production is an energy‐intensive process in which distillation and rectification alone account for 50–85% of total plant energy use. While significant advances in separation technology have emerged over the past two decades, the spirits industry continues to rely predominantly on multi‐effect ...

Complexity of leaf trait covariation for mangrove species
npj BiodiversityThe leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been proposed as a framework for understanding leaf resource-investment and plant growth strategies, but it is scarcely examined in mangrove communities.

Ecosphere, 2019 As one of the trait‐based approaches, leaf economics spectrum (LES) has led to significant advances in plant ecology; however, hypothetical root economics spectrum (RES) which is even more important than the LES aboveground is still less well understood.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although machine learning models have been successfully applied to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC), the lack of interpretability research has resulted in the absence of mechanistic explanations for these models. Therefore, in this study, we adopted the following workflow: first, we divided the whole study area into several subregions using ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tea plantations represent significant carbon (C) sinks in agricultural landscapes, yet how variety‐specific organic inputs are associated with the molecular composition and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) within aggregate hierarchies remains unclear.

Optimal Administered Incentive Pricing of Spectrum [PDF]
Administered Incentive Pricing (AIP) of radio spectrum as advocated by Smith/NERA (1996) and recently assessed by Indepen (2003) envisages an incremental path towards e±cient pricing, with revealed and stated prefer- ence methods being used to reveal ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species (Pinus sylvestris var.

Functional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests
Communications BiologyPlants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a ...
