Response of Leaf Traits of Eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Broad-Leaved Woody Plants to Climatic Factors
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Plant ecologists have long been interested in quantifying how leaf traits vary with climate factors, but there is a paucity of knowledge on these relationships given a large number of the relevant leaf traits and climate factors to be considered.

Specific leaf area responses to environmental gradients through space and time [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Plant communities can respond to environmental changes by altering their species composition and by individuals (within species) adjusting their physiology. These responses can be captured by measuring key functional traits among and within species along important environmental gradients. Some anthropogenic changes (such as fertilizer runoff) are known

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Leaf Area Index Specification for Use in Mesoscale Weather Prediction Systems [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 2009 Abstract The energy budget at the surface is strongly influenced by the presence of vegetation, which alters the partitioning of thermal energy between sensible and latent heat fluxes. Despite its relevance, numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems often use only two parameters to describe the vegetation cover: the fractional area of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Zero‐sum allocational strategies determine the allometry of specific leaf area [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2010 • Premise of the study: Specific leaf area (SLA) is a critical component of the leaf economics spectrum, and many functional leaf traits have been empirically demonstrated to covary with SLA. However, a complete understanding of how change in leaf size influences SLA has not yet emerged.• Methods: To help develop a more complete understanding of the ...
