Species-specific water use by forest tree species: From the tree to the stand [PDF]

Agricultural Water Management, 2012
Forests play a critical role in the hydrological cycle making the study of water use by trees and forest stands of prime importance in the global change context. Very negative effects of increasing and more intense droughts on forest vegetation have been described over the last decades.

Photoactivation of NV Centers in Diamond via Continuous Wave Laser Illumination of Shallow As‐Implanted Nitrogen

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an alternative method of creating charge‐stable negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV−) centers close to the diamond surface without high‐temperature annealing. By illuminating nitrogen‐implanted regions with a continuous‐wave 405 nm laser, NV− centers are induced, exhibiting electron spin coherence properties suitable for ...

Integrative analysis of small RNA and degradome sequencing reveals the role of miRNAs in monoterpene biosynthesis in linalool-type Cinnamomum camphora

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cinnamomum camphora is a valuable aromatic oil-producing species with significant economic and industrial importance. Linalool, a monoterpenoid compound and a major component of camphor leaf essential oil, is widely used in cosmetics, food ...

Tree species effect on natural control of H. albipunctella de Joannis in a millet agroforestry system in Senegal [PDF]

, 2019
Association of several tree species in and around a plot can have a positive impact on ecosystem services. Thus, traditional agroforestry systems, characterized by a high plant diversity, constitute an ideal model of study to test if the natural tree ...

Kinetic Insights into Precursor‐Assisted Soft Sphere Close Packing Revealed by In Situ GISAXS with Implications for Gas Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The versatile precursor‐assisted soft sphere close packing during slot‐die coating is investigated with in situ X‐ray scattering. The soft crystallization pathways towards a close packing involve multistep structural transitions such as surface nucleation, in‐plane, and out‐of‐plane crystallization.

Converting Chinese fir plantations into mixed stands: Effects of density on soil organic carbon mineralization and its temperature sensitivity

Trees, Forests and People
Converting monoculture plantations into mixed stands is a key strategy for enhancing soil carbon sequestration. The mechanisms behind soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and its temperature response at different mixed densities are unclear.

Climate tolerances and trait choices shape continental patterns of urban tree biodiversity [PDF]

, 2016
Aim: We propose and test a climate tolerance and trait choice hypothesis of urban macroecological variation in which strong filtering associated with low winter temperatures restricts urban biodiversity while weak filtering associated with warmer ...

Relationships between gene trees and species trees.

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1988
It is well known that a phylogenetic tree (gene tree) constructed from DNA sequences for a genetic locus does not necessarily agree with the tree that represents the actual evolutionary pathway of the species involved (species tree). One of the important factors that cause this difference is genetic polymorphism in the ancestral species.

Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Cocatalysts for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Recent developments have introduced bimetallic nanoparticles as effective cocatalysts for photocatalytic systems. This review explores the rapidly expanding research on bimetallic cocatalysts for photocatalytic production of hydrogen, emphasizing the creation of carrier‐selective contacts, localized surface plasmon resonance effects, methodologies for ...

Efficient FPT algorithms for (strict) compatibility of unrooted phylogenetic trees

, 2016
In phylogenetics, a central problem is to infer the evolutionary relationships between a set of species $X$; these relationships are often depicted via a phylogenetic tree -- a tree having its leaves univocally labeled by elements of $X$ and without ...
