Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia [PDF]

, 2008
: In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of above- and below-ground resources and differ between tree species.

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

The effects of lactic acid bacteria and molasses on microbial community and fermentation performance of mixed silage of king grass and cassava foliage

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
In the present study, we aim to investigate the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and molasses (M) on the microbial community and fermentation performance of mixed silage of king grass (KG) and cassava foliage (CF). A completely randomized design was

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Morpho-histology, endogenous hormone dynamics, and transcriptome profiling in Dacrydium pectinatum during female cone development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dacrydium pectinatum de Laubenfels is a perennial dioeciously gymnosperm species dominant in tropical montane rain forests. Due to deforestation, natural disasters, long infancy, and poor natural regeneration ability, the population of this species has ...

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]

, 2010
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Playing in the Dark: Invisible Chess as a Laboratory for Strategic AI

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
This paper shows that strategic AI evaluated on perfect‐information benchmarks can be brittle in real adversarial settings. By using invisible chess as a benchmark for hidden state and deception, it argues for stricter testing, human oversight, and more cautious governance of high‐stakes AI systems.
