Estimating the Resilience Value of Soil Biodiversity in Agriculture: A Stochastic Simulation Approach [PDF]

Characteristic of ecosystems is that different organisms can have similar functions and hence provide similar ecosystem services. Consequently functional diversity can maintain the rate of services despite environmental fluctuations.

High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]

, 2010
The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...

Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

Integrated washland management for flood defence and biodiversity [PDF]

, 2003
A combination of reform of agricultural policy, changing priorities in the countryside, growing commitment to protect and enhance biodiversity, and concerns about increased flood risk in lowlands have drawn attention to the potential contribution that

The use of chronosequences in studies of ecological succession and soil development [PDF]

, 2010
1. Chronosequences and associated space-for-time substitutions are an important and often necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development across multiple time-scales.

Evaluating nitrogen uptake: Methods and applications for plant research

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for the growth and development of plants, aiding many physiological and biological functions. Due to the high demand for the nutrient, it is common for agricultural production systems to fertilize crop fields with large quantities of nitrogen.

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.
