Spatial pattern and process at the plant neighborhood scale: insights from communities dominated by the clonal grass Elymus repens (L.) Gould. Journal of Vegetation Science 22, 973-983.Pottier, J., & Evette, A.
In this paper, the spatial pattern of plant community along a sand_covered hillslope in Ordos Plateau of China was analyzed. The higher position was a typical steppe community dominated by Stipa bungeana , Artemisia frigida , and Gypsophila desertorum , while the lower position was a psamm...
Pinus densiflorawas the main land-use plant type in all study areas but decreased over time, whereas Quercus spp. increased. Over adecade, P. densiflora communities shifted to deciduous oak and plantation. These findings indicate that the impact ofhuman activities on the Maeul landscape is ...
Efficient plant immune responses depend on the ability to recognise an invading microbe. The 22-amino acids in the N-terminal domain and the 28-amino acids in the central region of the bacterial flagellin, called flg22 and flgII-28, respectively, are important elicitors of plant immunity. Pla...
The spatial heterogeneity of populations and communities plays a central role in many ecological theories, for instance the theories of succession, adaptat
The fractal plant growth spiral is a fractal structure seen in the plant kingdom because it’s the most efficient way for organic life to grow and for energy to flow through the plant. Fractal gazing activity:Visit a local botanical garden and see how many fractal patterns you can discover ...
However, the existing ecological protection and restoration projects are often oriented towards a single element, cutting off the integrity of the ecosystem and ignoring the organic links in the ecological process. In the context of the construction of ecological civilization in the new era, China's...
A new dengue fever (DF) epidemic in Hangzhou, China has placed a serious burden on the urban sustainable development. However, the key drivers of DF epidem
plant community in water-level-fluctuation zonePengxi riverThree Gorges ReservoirAfter impounding to altitude of 156 m, species, spatial pattern and biodiversity of plant community in water-level-fluctuation zone of Three Gorges Reservoir had significant changes. The plant community under altitude of ...
Experiments were carried out with cultures that developed without additional seeding, but naturally promoted by process conditions in a raceway pond reactor. The changes in microalgal communities and total biomass under nitrogen and phosphorous limitations were studied in both batch and continuous systems....
