Leaf plasticity of species under different light intensities in an urban rainforest

Diversitas Journal, 2023
Leaf characteristics of plants are useful to understand vegetation changes under different environmental pressures because species deal with variations in the levels of luminosity during the process of ecological succession.

The influence of specific leaf area on insect herbivory: A leaf-level study across multiple plant speciesFigshare

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding how specific leaf area (SLA) influences insect herbivory is crucial for predicting plant-herbivore interactions in forest ecosystems. However, most existing studies rely on species- or community-level trait averages, overlooking the fine ...

Functional ecology characteristics of key community-forming aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species in Teletskoye Lake (Republic of Altai, Russia)

Acta Biologica Sibirica
This study explores five primary morpho-functional traits – photosynthetic canopy height, leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area, and seed mass – of 17 community-forming species of aquatic and semiaquatic plants in Teletskoye Lake: Alopecurus aequalis,

POM‐Based Water Splitting Catalyst Under Acid Conditions Driven by Its Assembly on Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A newly‐engineered POM‐based electrocatalyst incorporating non‐innocent counter cations exhibits fast kinetics for either the OER or HER under strongly acidic conditions (1 m H2SO4), depending on whether it is assembled on carbon nanotubes (1@CNT) or physically mixed with them (1/CNT). In water‐splitting tests using a two‐electrode setup, these systems

Leaf trait plasticity and site-specific environmental variability modulate the severity of visible foliar ozone symptoms in Viburnum lantana.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The assessment of Visible Foliar Symptoms (VFS) is commonly adopted by forest monitoring programs to evaluate ozone impact on vegetation. The occurrence of ozone VFS may differ among individuals of the same species at the same site, and within leaves of ...

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...

Response of growth patterns in sweet pepper to different NPK levels

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
This work was conducted to study the effect of five NPK fertigation levels on the growth rate of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Bruyo) grown under the plastic greenhouse using different growth analysis formulas. Leaf area ratio (LAR), specific leaf
