Integrating experimental and observational approaches facilitates scaling species interactions to biodiversity patterns

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To investigate how niche and fitness differences determine the outcome of species interactions and shape local biodiversity patterns, research has typically focused on either simplified experimental systems that test specific mechanisms or observational studies where ...

DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR TRANSPIRATION RATE OF FRESH-CUT LETTUCE

, 2015
During postharvest handling and storage, fresh fruits and vegetables continue to lose water through the process of transpiration which is a physiological process of water loss from fresh products. This process is influenced by factors such as temperature,

Wood anatomical trait correlations with hydraulic efficiency and safety in an aseasonal wet tropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

An analysis of the diurnal course of growth, carbon dioxide exchange and carbohydrate reserve content of cucumber

, 1977
A detailed study was made of the diurnal course of carbon dioxide exchange, transpiration and carbohydrate reserve levels in different organs of young cucumberplants, cultivated in climate rooms under 'spring' or 'winter' conditions.

Targeted Trade Policy Instruments and Climate Change Mitigation: The Case of Environmental Provisions in Trade Agreements

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the effect of including environmental provisions (EPs) in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on climate change mitigation and explores whether these effects vary based on the heterogeneity of the EPs. Our analysis combines country‐level data on climate change mitigation with details on 300 types of EPs in 775 trade ...

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

Developing an evidence‐based model to implement co‐governance

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments are seeking innovative ways to address complex policy issues in increasingly fragmented and fiscally constrained service contexts. Co‐governance is a relatively new mechanism for facilitating collective decision‐making between government and other stakeholders. Effective co‐governance can be difficult to establish and resource‐ and
