Life History of the Giant Looper Moth Ascotis selenaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in Eucalyptus Plantations and the Effect of Adult Mating Age on Fecundity

Biology
Ascotis selenaria has recently shifted hosts to become a major defoliator in Southern China’s eucalyptus plantations. To facilitate Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we investigated the genetic origins, life history, and reproductive bio-ecology of this ...

Tropical component of the moss Flora of China [PDF]

, 1990
In many ways, it is presumptuous for me to speak on the mosses of the tropical regions of China. Many consider the knowledge about the taxonomy, ecology, and geography of tropical bryophytes inadequate (Pócs 1982; Schuster 1983; Richards 1984), and this ...

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (Ta) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (Ts) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between Ta and Ts. The spatial and statistical characteristics of Ta − Ts dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals a possible mechanism of starvation stress-induced fruit abscission in macadamia

BMC Plant Biology
Background Macadamia species are valuable nut trees, and physiological fruit abscission severely reduces their yield. An inadequate carbohydrate supply is the main cause of physiological abscission in macadamia; however, the molecular mechanism of their ...

Correction: Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest

PLoS ONE, 2013
Losses of plant species diversity can affect ecosystem functioning, with decreased primary productivity being the most frequently reported effect in experimental plant assemblages, including tree plantations.Less is known about the role of biodiversity in natural ecosystems, including forests, despite their importance for global biogeochemical cycling ...

Atmospheric River Event Frequency Is the Principal Moisture Driver for Radial Growth of High‐Elevation Southern California, USA Conifers, 1658–2020 CE

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Conifers growing in high‐elevation alpine environments in the mountains of Southern California, USA, are highly responsive to atmospheric river (AR) events, which typically produce heavy precipitation over 1–3 days. However, it is the frequency of the AR events, not their magnitude nor annual precipitation totals, that most affects the radial growth of

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Biochar Applied in Places Where Its Feedstock Was Produced Mitigated More CO₂ Emissions from Acidic Red Soils

Agronomy
Agricultural soil is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, among which carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas, impacting the global climate. In China, as a large rice-producing country, carbon sequestration and CO2 mitigation in paddy
