Sedum plumbizincicola is a zinc‐cadmium hyperaccumulator native to China with high potential for use in phytoremediation. Synchrotron micro‐X‐ray fluorescence elemental imaging shows that zinc is localized in the leaf tips, petioles, and nodes with the highest Zn concentrations observed in the epidermis and vascular system of both leaves and stems ...

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Critic's Choice Essay: The Limestone Glade
Today, we're going to have a look at a rather special place I refer to as "my limestone glade". A glade is defined as a "grassy open area in a woods." Now, add to this a thin cover of poor soil on a solid, limestone base, a scattering of stunted elms ...

Ecological Strategies for Legume Production on Extensive Green Roofs Under Heat and Nutrient Stress
ABSTRACT Urban agriculture on extensive green roofs presents opportunities for sustainable food production but is challenged by shallow substrates, nutrient limitations and heat stress. Ecological strategies such as companion planting and organic amendments may help alleviate these constraints, yet their effectiveness across plant life stages remains ...

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae). Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation enabling higher CO2 concentration close to Rubisco and increased water use efficiency.

Role of reduced glutathione in Zn and Cd hyperaccumulation in Sedum alfredii H
Hyperaccumulating ecotype of Sedum alfredii H. was treated with 1000 μmol·L-1 Zn(NO3)2 or 200 μmol·L-1 CdCl2 for 25 days. Zn and Cd concentrations in plants, total sulphur (S) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in shoots, were detected every 5 days after ...
