How L2 Learners Negotiate Meaning in GenAI‐Supported Creative Writing

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores how second language (L2) learners negotiate meaning and co‐construct knowledge with generative AI (GenAI) in a 12‐week multimodal creative writing project. Chinese middle school students (N = 75) created English picture books using a conversational GenAI agent supporting textual and text‐to‐image generation.

EFFECTS OF LEAF AND PLANT AGE ON SPECIFIC LEAF AREA IN DECIDUOUS TREE SPECIES QUERCUS CERRIS L. VAR. CERRIS

, 2013
WOS: 000331786800015In Quercus cerris L. var. cerris, four diameters at breast height (BDH) groups were selected as a surrogate for approximate plant age groups to study the effects of plant and leaf age on leaf dry mass, leaf area and specific leaf area.

Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]

, 2008
Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Relationship between specific leaf area, leaf thickness, leaf water content and SPAD-502 readings in six Amazonian tree species

, 2009
The aim of this work was to assess the effect of leaf thickness, leaf succulence (LS), specific leaf area (SLA), specific leaf mass (Ws) and leaf water content (LWC) on chlorophyll (Chl) meter values in six Amazonian tree species (Carapa guianensis ...

Entangled Foodways and Livelihood Pathways: Cinnamon, State Interventions, and Everyday Life in Hmong Communities of Northern Vietnam

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agroecological practices of ethnic minority farmers in Vietnam's northern uplands are being reshaped by intersecting pressures of land‐use reform, market integration, and state‐backed crop promotion. Among Hmong communities in the south of Lào Cai Province (former Yên Bái Province) cinnamon was once valued primarily for its medicinal ...

Leaf nutrient traits exhibit greater environmental plasticity compared to resource utilization traits along an elevational gradient

Frontiers in Plant Science
Studying key leaf functional traits is crucial for understanding plant resource utilization strategies and growth. To explore the patterns and driving factors of key leaf functional traits in forests along elevational gradients under global change, we ...

Whole‐genome duplication promotes phenotypic and genetic adaptation to elevation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Fitness of diploids (2x) and tetraploids (4x) of Biscutella laevigata from low (circles) and high (triangles) elevation transplanted across elevation at 585, 1236 and 1967 m above sea level. Summary Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is often considered as either an adaptive dead‐end or a facilitator of rapid adaptation under changing environments.

How do allometric growth patterns and resource strategies of an invasive hydrophyte differ between island and mainland habitats?

Global Ecology and Conservation
For plants, leaves and fine roots are essential for resource acquisition. Investigating their economic spectrum and allometric growth helps to understand invasion mechanisms.

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...
