Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Sugarcane nutrition under organomineral fertilizer, phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria, and reduced phosphate doses

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Using longitudinal survival probabilities to test field vigour estimates in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) [PDF]

, 2008
Tree mortality is a major force driving forest dynamics. To foresters, however, tree mortality is often considered a loss in productivity. To reduce tree mortality, silvicultural systems, such as selection cuts, aim at removing trees that are more likely

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Distribution and Host Plants of \u3ci\u3eCorthylus Punctatissimus\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan [PDF]

, 2017
(excerpt) The pitted ambrosia beetle. Corthylus punctatissimus Zimmerman, infests woody saplings and shrubs 14 mm in diameter or less. The beetle bores an entrance hole into the main stem at soil level and constructs a main gallery tunnel which generally

Whole chloroplast genome and gene locus phylogenies reveal the taxonomic placement and relationship of Tripidium (Panicoideae: Andropogoneae) to sugarcane

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background For over 50 years, attempts have been made to introgress agronomically useful traits from Erianthus sect. Ripidium (Tripidium) species into sugarcane based on both genera being part of the ‘Saccharum Complex’, an interbreeding group of species

Effect of a major ice storm on understory light conditions in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest: Pattern of recovery over seven years [PDF]

, 2007
We evaluated the effects of a major ice storm on understory light conditions (%PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density) in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest in Quebec, based on pre- and post-disturbance light measurements taken until the seventh growing ...

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of sugar maple (Acer saccharum)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Acer saccharum is one ecologically and economically important tree species cultivated widely across the world. In this study we generated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. saccharum via genome-skimming method.
