Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Sugarcane Production for Sugar on Florida Sand Soils
Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result.

Interaction Network Between Frugivorous Birds and Plants in Karst Habitats. [PDF]
The results suggested that interaction networks in a nature reserve were temporally complex and variable. A network approach could offer an important monitoring tool for detecting crucial ecosystem functions of bird–plant associations. ABSTRACT The karst region of southwest China is characterized by fragmented habitats featuring high plant diversity ...

Trait-independent habitat associations explain low co-occurrence in native and exotic birds on a tropical volcanic island. [PDF]
We investigated bird assemblages in La Réunion island, Mascarenes. We showed how habitat separates native and introduced exotic bird species independently from their ecological traits. This study stands as a landmark for species‐habitat relationships prior to the establishment of a major protected area intended to the conservation of endemic ecosystems.

Gene Flow and Abundance of a Tropical Fruit Fly in a Horticultural Landscape Mosaic in Eastern Australia Is Limited by Cleared Grazing Land and Area-Wide Management. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Landscape ecology and genetics provide important analytical frameworks for investigating the effect of environmental features on ecological processes. Few empirical studies, however, have simultaneously tested how landscape characteristics influence spatial patterns of gene flow and abundance of pest insects in heterogeneous environments.

Scale-Up of Tailor-Made Onsite Enzyme Blend From Cassava Peels for Industrial Bioethanol Production. [PDF]
Bioethanol production is one of the key alternatives for fossil fuel use due to climate change. The study seeks to upscale tailor‐made onsite enzyme blends for the bioconversion of cassava peels to bioethanol in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using cassava peels‐degrading fungi.
