Solar radiation effects on leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry of Chinese fir across subtropical China

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Solar radiation (SR) plays critical roles in plant physiological processes and ecosystems functions. However, the exploration of SR influences on the biogeochemical cycles of forest ecosystems is still in a slow progress, and has important ...

Leaf litter carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) across China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The stoichiometric characteristics of plant tissue (living or dead) can influence carbon (C) and nutrient dynamics in forest ecosystems. Numerous investigations have focused on green leaves in site or regional areas, but few on leaf litter, especially ...

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of the Graft Unions in Hickory (Carya cathayensis) Provides Insights into Response Mechanisms to Grafting Process

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Hickory (Carya cathayensis), a tree with high nutritional and economic value, is widely cultivated in China. Grafting greatly reduces the juvenile phase length and makes the large scale cultivation of hickory possible.

Host plant diversity and potential habitat prediction of Korthalsella japonica (Thunb.) Engl. in Jeju Island, South Korea

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Parasitic mistletoes infect a wide range of host plants, and when infestation density is high, they alter host resource allocation and canopy structure, thereby affecting ecosystem components including light regimes and understory vegetation.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Soil Inorganic Electron Acceptors and Carbon Substrates Hierarchically Govern Wetland Methanogenesis Temperature Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

Effects of Invasive Solidago canadensis and Biochar on the Remediation of Soil Cd Contamination and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Life
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils threatens food security and exacerbates climate change through its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) (CO2, N2O and CH4) emissions, in which N2O and CO2 are the dominant fluxes of the terrestrial carbon ...
