Soil indigenous nutrients increase the resilience of maize yield to climatic warming in China
Climate warming leads to crop yield loss. Although investigations have shown the region-specific effect of climate warming on maize yield in China, the determinants of this region-specific effect are poorly known.

Phylogenetic signal in amphibian sensitivity to copper sulfate relative to experimental temperature [PDF]
The release of large quantities of chemicals into the environment represents a major source of environmental disturbance. In recent years, the focus of ecotoxicology has shifted from describing the effects of chemical contaminants on individual species ...

Two Mutants Affecting Adaptative Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Barley Seedlings
Two novel mutants which affect the adaptative responses of barley seedlings to different abiotic stresses are described. They allow us to explore some aspects of adaptative phenomena that are little known in higher plants.

Effects of trophic status, water level, and temperature on shallow lake metabolism and metabolic balance: A standardized pan‐European mesocosm experiment [PDF]
Important drivers of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in lakes are temperature, nutrients, and light availability, which are predicted to be affected by climate change.

Mechanisms Behind the Soil Organic Carbon Response to Temperature Elevations
Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents the most dynamic component of the soil carbon pool and is pivotal in the global carbon cycle. Global temperature rise and increasing drought severity are now indisputable realities, making soil organic carbon cycling ...

Rescue of Temperature-sensitive Poliovirus [PDF]
A temperature-sensitive strain of type 1 poliovirus, LSc, was functionally rescued when infected cells were incubated at 40 C in the presence of Mahoney, a temperature-resistant strain of type 1 poliovirus. The rescue value was 9% of the mutant yield obtained under permissive conditions.

Rising Temperature May Trigger Deep Soil Carbon Loss Across Forest Ecosystems
Significantly more carbon (C) is stored in deep soil than in shallow horizons, yet how the decomposition of deep soil organic C (SOC) will respond to rising temperature remains unexplored on large scales, leading to considerable uncertainties to ...
