ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance
Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

Ecology of bryophytes along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients in Chile [PDF]
The bryophyte vegetation in twenty-eight hectare plots in forests of S-Chile between 38° and 42°S and sea level and the forest line has been studied. Since bryophytes are fully dependend on atmospheric water and nutrient supply, they are good indicators ...
