Tetraether biomarker records from a loess-paleosol sequence in the western Chinese Loess Plateau

, 2013
The ubiquitous occurrence of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in soils and their ability to record temperature and environmental changes offer the prospect of independently reconstructing continental paleotemperature and paleoenvironment ...

Trojan Horses: Conjugating Siderophores and Antibiotics—A New Approach to Treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection

Microorganisms
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common Gram-negative bacterium in hospital infections and one of the main pathogens causing opportunistic infections in humans. In recent years, the drug resistance of P. aeruginosa has become increasingly severe.

Improving water-use efficiency by decreasing stomatal conductance and transpiration rate to maintain higher ear photosynthetic rate in drought-resistant wheat

Crop Journal, 2017
In wheat, the ear is one of the main photosynthetic contributors to grain filling under drought stress conditions. In order to determine the relationship between stomatal characteristics and plant drought resistance, photosynthetic and stomatal ...

Water Released From Vessel Embolism May Temporarily Halt Further Embolism in Tropical Dipterocarp Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Five-Year Soil Respiration Reflected Soil Quality Evolution in Different Forest and Grassland Vegetation Types in the Eastern Loess Plateau of China

, 2013
Soil CO2 efflux in forest and grassland over 5 years from 2005 to 2009 in a semiarid mountain area of the Loess plateau, China, was measured. The aim was to compare the soil respiration and its annual and inter-annual responses to the changes in soil ...

Revegetation Impacts on the Flow Characteristics in the Loess Plateau

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Revegetation has been one of the most effective nature-based solution for carbon sequestration. However, its impacts on local water resources vary across places, and is especially controversial in arid/semi-arid regions. This study analyzed spatial and temporal variability of flow characteristics from 85 catchments in the Loess Plateau (LP), an arid ...

Trade Sophistication and Economic Development Stages in the Context of Global Digitalization

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the relationship between trade sophistication and economic development stages, including in the context of digitalization. We employ nonparametric, semiparametric, and parametric methods, covering the period from 2003 to 2024 across 119 countries, categorized into three income groups.

Phylogeography and allopatric divergence in cypress species (Cupressus L.) in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions [PDF]

, 2010
Additional files can be found at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/194Background Although allopatric speciation is viewed as the most common way in which species originate, allopatric divergence among a group of closely related species has rarely
