spanning a century of data and currently containing ~500,000 accessions. Their analyses examine the capacities and constraints within living plant collections, reveal the impact of the Convention on Biological Diversity and its consequences for material exchange and conservation, and call for the re-ev...
The impacts of alpine grassland restoration on microbial community stability and its relationship with the plant-soil system are unclear. Here, using co-occurrence network analysis, the authors find that core microbes contribute to plant-soil resilience. Yao Du , Yan Yang & Shikui Dong Article ...
A variety of nut-producing plants have mutualistic seed-dispersal interactions with animals (rodents and corvids) that scatter hoard their nuts in the soil. The goals of this review are to summarize the widespread horticultural, botanical, and ecological literature pertaining to nut dispersal inJuglans...
As part of the effort to define soil health, soil microbiologists have developed procedures to gain insight into community composition and its dynamics at both the taxonomic and functional levels. One important goal is to identify those practices that improve and sustain soil health in agriculture....
Either way, if its roots are pulled up from out of the ground as the tree topples over, thenthere's usually a big hole, a pit left in the ground where the roots used to be. 哪种都好,如果树木在倒下时把树根从地里拔起来,地面通常会有个大洞,在原来树根所在地留下一个坑。 And there'...
We will then discuss ranavirus transmission within and between species, and its consequences for ranavirus epidemiology. We also consider the evolution of ranaviruses with a focus on local adaptation and virulence, which is important to understand in light of the growing evidence that ranaviruses ...
Ecology is necessarily the union of many areas of study because its definition is so all-encompassing. There are many kinds of relationships between organisms and theirenvironment. Byorganismsone might mean single individuals, groups of individuals, all the members of onespecies, the sum of many ...
To determine the heat exchange between an animal and its environment, however, a physiological ecologist is confronted with an array of almost unquantifiable variables and with the formidable task of gathering the numerous data and analyzing them. Ecological measurements may never be as precise or ...

The experience in Sanya was the first and last time Huang saw thickets of corals on such a scale, as they have become more rare in recent years. Studies show that China has lost over 80 percent of its coral reefs in the past 30 years. In the South China Sea, the coral coverage on...
