Plant functional types with persistent leaves and low leafmetabolic activity rely primarily on high constitutive tolerance to survive adverse environmental conditions, whereas plant functional types with short leaf lifespan and high leaf metabolic activity survive adverse conditions by plastic trait ...
Biodiversity(生物多样性), or biological diversity, is a wide-ranging concept that covers all the different kinds of plant and animal species present on earth. Environmentalists believe that many millions of species exist. As all these living organisms are dependent on each othe...
Therefore, the soil methanotrophic community structure, assembly process, and their driving factors were examined in five habitats in the riparian zone ecosystem of Three Gorges Reservoir in China. Soil samples were collected from the woody plant community, perennial plant community, annual plant ...
With different seed-types of peanuts,some physiological traits and yield properties were researched in the course of senescence.The results showed that NR and PAL activities in leaves presented a descending trend in later stage,but the descent speeds for bigger seed types were slower than that of...
The different environmental filters imposed by each land-use type lead to assemblages differentiated in their trait composition. Thus, we predict (1) nestedness to underlie taxonomic and functional dissimilarity between cattle fields and seminatural grassland assemblages; (2) turnover to underlie ...
Soil moisture plays a critical role in both plant nutrition and the survival of soil organisms. Furthermore, soil water levels influence various physicochemical, biochemical, and microbiological processes. Babur et al.24 suggest that soil moisture and temperature are the primary factors significantly imp...
The plant hormone auxin is widely involved in plant growth, development, and morphogenesis, and the TIR1/AFB and AUX/IAA proteins are closely linked to rapid auxin response and signal transmission. However, their evolutionary history, historical patterns

For example, there is some evidence that bees specialized on a particular floral resource are on the same phenological ‘clock’ as that resource, whereas more generalist bees may respond to cues to track overall flowering in their region [27]. This aspect of bee and plant ecology is ...
A. craccivorainhabit the external surfaces of plants and use their piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on phloem;L. trifoliilarvae live within the leaf tissues and feed internally; andS. littoralislarvae inhabit on the external surfaces of plants, chewing plant tissues. Because of these niche ...
