The global increase in species richness toward the tropics across continents and taxonomic groups, referred to as the latitudinal diversity gradient, stimulated the formulation of many hypotheses to explain the underlying mechanisms of this pattern. We evaluate several of these hypotheses to explain spati...
In this study, we test the effects of deterministic and stochastic processes on fern species community assembly in three types of forests: a Pine forest (PF), a Pine and Mixed Broadleaf Forest (PMBF) and a Mature Broadleaf Forest (MBF) in southern China. The PF and PMBF are successional...
It refers to introducing harmful substances in the environment that have a poisonous effect on people. Various kinds of pollution in the economy include water, air, and land pollution. Moreover, there are various types of pollutions in modern society that have increased over time and include plas...
Hence, we hypothesized that ECM forests would exhibit symptoms of N saturation more rapidly than AM forests. We present the results from N addition experiments in seven ECM-dominated and seven AM-dominated forest sites in southern Indiana. AM sites are dominated by sugar maple, tulip poplar, ...
When we talk about plastic, we generally mean "plastics": if you're a diligent recycler, you'll know there are many types of plastic, all of which are different, both chemically (in their molecular makeup) and physically (in the way they behave toward heat, light, and so on). It's...
"These types of articles are the same as the ones written in 1999 and 2000 when Buffett was seen as not taking part in the dot com revolution, investments had passed him by. Then by the end of the bubble and downfall he was once again seen as the Wizard of Omaha. As a long term ...

vegetation protection practice was not fully effective throughout the Dosso Reserve. The dominant drivers were also diagnosed using the Random Forest model-based method and the Partial Dependence Plot tool, showing that water availability (expressed as soil moisture) and land use/land cover change ...
This map allows the viewer to understand the types of genetic resources that are accessed, the location from which they are obtained, and the purposes of accessed resources. The network map also presents a hierarchical structure based on three essential nodes corresponding to (1) the location of...
