The dynamic multi‐functionality of leaf water transport outside the xylem

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2099-2107, September 2023., 2023
Summary A surge of papers have reported low leaf vulnerability to xylem embolism during drought. Here, we focus on the less studied, and more sensitive, outside‐xylem leaf hydraulic responses to multiple internal and external conditions. Studies of 34 species have resolved substantial vulnerability to dehydration of the outside‐xylem pathways, and ...

Sequestration of Contaminants from Wastewater: A Review of Adsorption Processes

open access: yesChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 491-509, August 2023., 2023
Water being the most vital constituent of life is being contaminated by disposal of pollutants and toxic substances into the water bodies. Elimination of these toxicants is complex but extremely indispensable. Numerous methods have been applied for this purpose amongst which adsorption is the most effective, fast, simple, and inexpensive technique.

Two dioecious Simarouba species with a specialized pollination system and low reproductive efficacy in Central Brazil

open access: yesRodriguésia, 2022
Several possible correlations between dioecy and eco-morphological features have been suggested to infer the conditions that would favor this sexual system. Dioecy has been associated either with specialized or generalized pollination systems.

Agricultural Waste‐Based Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Production of Biodiesel: A Ranking Study via the VIKOR Method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Agricultural waste‐based heterogeneous catalysts are emerging as efficient and green catalysts. The present study explored the agricultural waste‐based heterogeneous catalyst utilized in the production of biodiesel. The plant waste is composed of organic compounds and various metals which, on combustion, produces ashes that mainly consist of various ...

Flooding and planting density shape forests in an experimental Everglades landscape: Lessons for forest restoration

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Tree islands, a prominent feature of wetland landscapes worldwide, are patches of forest scattered throughout a matrix of herbaceous marsh. In the Florida Everglades, their development over millennia as elevated, relatively well‐drained features above the wetland surface has made them cultural centers for indigenous people and refugia for a ...

Automated identification of diverse Neotropical pollen samples using convolutional neural networks

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 2049-2064, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Pollen is used to investigate a diverse range of ecological problems, from identifying plant–pollinator relationships to tracking flowering phenology. Pollen types are identified according to a set of distinctive morphological characters which are understood to capture taxonomic differences and phylogenetic relationships among taxa.

Evidence of the late lignification of the G-layer in Simarouba tension wood, to assist understanding how non-G-layer species produce tensile stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceTo recover verticality after disturbance, angiosperm trees produce " tension wood " allowing them to bend actively. The driving force of the tension has been shown to take place in the G-layer, a specific unlignified layer of the ...
