Geochemical signature of Amazon Tropical rainforest soils
, 2018 : Evaluating soil geochemical diversity in the Amazon Basin has been a challenge largely because most study sites have been at the edge of the basin and it is difficult to get samples in such a region.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems
Ecography, EarlyView.Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

The Context of Tropical Rainforest Deforestation and Degradation
Conservation of Tropical Rainforests, 2017 The author begins Chap. 10.1007/978-3-319-63236-0_2 with the general locations of rainforests (Afrotropical, Neotropical, and Indo-Pacific region) and outlines the specific countries that host rainforests.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Accurate species identification is critical for conserving endangered Firmiana trees in China. However, morphological similarities among closely related Firmiana species complicate its taxonomic identification. We conducted genome skimming on 62 samples representing all 10 Chinese species and discovered nrITS as the optimal DNA barcode, achieving 100 ...

Plant Diversity, 2020 Functional trait variation of plant species includes both inter- and intraspecific variation; however, trait-based plant ecology generally considers only interspecific variation while ignoring intraspecific variation.

Disturbance and mosquito diversity in the lowland tropical rainforest of central Panama
Scientific Reports, 2017 The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (IDH) is well-known in ecology providing an explanation for the role of disturbance in the coexistence of climax and colonist species. Here, we used the IDH as a framework to describe the role of forest disturbance

The Genome of Phoebe zhennan (Lauraceae) and Comparative Genomics of Phoebe 楠木(樟科)基因组与楠属植物比较基因组学研究
Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Phoebe zhennan is a Chinese endemic and valuable timber species of Phoebe (Lauraceae). We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of P. zhennan. Our research provides novel insights into the genome evolution of Phoebe, including whole‐genome duplication, phylogenetic relationships of magnoliids, and key MYB regulatory genes involved in lignin ...

Increased Asymmetry of Ecosystem Productivity Responses to Precipitation in Recent Two Decades
Geophysical Research LettersProjected increases in precipitation variability are expected to profoundly impact terrestrial vegetation productivity. Notably, the absolute change in ecosystem productivity to same amount of precipitation increase versus decrease may not be same ...
