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

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 ...

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
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]
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 ...
