Monoculture of Leafcutter Ant Gardens
PLoS ONE, 2010 Antecedentes Las hormigas cortadoras de hojas dependen del cultivo de hongos simbióticos de Attamyces para la alimentación, que se cree que son cultivados por las hormigas en monocultivos clonales de una sola cepa a lo largo de cientos a miles de jardines dentro de un nido cortador de hojas.

A messenger molecule governs interdependency in an evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm community [PDF]
, 2011 Biofilm populations are known to harbor great diversity, but the importance of this diversity is not fully understood. A likely contributor to this variation is the second messenger molecule cyclic-di-GMP: low levels associate with a planktonic lifestyle

Characterizations of how species mediate ecosystem properties require more comprehensive functional effect descriptors [PDF]
, 2014 The importance of individual species in mediating ecosystem process and functioning is generally accepted, but categorical descriptors that summarize species-specific contributions to ecosystems tend to reference a limited number of biological traits and

Organic carbon stocks in topsoil and subsoil in long-term ley and cereal monoculture rotations
Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2018 Soil organic C (SOC) in agricultural soils is affected by cropping system. In order to compare the impact of ley-dominated and cereal monoculture rotations on soil properties, a series of experiments was started in Sweden in the early 1980s.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

15Nitrogen uptake from shallow- versus deep-rooted plants in multi-species mixtures and monoculture grassland [PDF]
, 2010 Only few studies have explored the importance of functional diversity in temperate agricultural grasslands in relation to nitrogen (N) uptake. This study investigates the consequence of growing deep-rooted plants together with grass-clover mixtures in ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...
