Contrasting spatial variations between above and below-ground net primary productivity in global grasslands

Ecological Indicators
Grassland net primary productivity (NPP) plays a crucial role in global terrestrial carbon cycle and carbon balance. However, the spatial pattern and influencing factors of NPP and its components, especially the belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Diversification rates of fern genera across the phylogeny. Abstract Geographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR) is explored at the genus level ...

A Modern Roman‐Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coolcrete, inspired by ancient Roman concrete, is a new cementitious material with photonic properties enabling passive daytime radiative cooling. Made from quicklime and zeolites, it reduces cooling energy demand, lowers CO2 emissions, and may eliminate urban heat islands.

Chemical and Rheological Properties of a Dough Elaborated With a Powder of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus lam.) Residue for Food Applications

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Jackfruit residue flour exhibits pseudoplastic and gel‐like behavior, making it suitable for use in functional food applications. Maturity and cooking significantly affect the viscosity and structural stability of jackfruit dough. ABSTRACT This research assessed the potential use of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus lam.) residues for human ...

A broad typology of dry rainforests on the western slopes of New South Wales [PDF]

, 2013
Dry rainforests are those communities that have floristic and structural affinities to mesic rainforests and occur in parts of eastern and northern Australia where rainfall is comparatively low and often highly seasonal.

Are we using the most appropriate methodologies to assess the sensitivity of rainforest biodiversity to habitat disturbance? [PDF]

, 2018
Accurately assessing how biodiversity responds in the Anthropocene is vital. To do so, a number of indicator taxa are commonly used to monitor human-impacted forests and the subsequent recovery of their biodiversity.

The Progressive Spread of the Vascular Wilt Like Pathogen of Calophyllum Detected in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Pathogens are threatening crops worldwide, but little attention has been given to the threat to tree species in undisturbed rainforest. This communication reports the first case of a tree die off caused by a “wilt” in Madagascar. In 2016 while monitoring
