In amarine biome, you’ll find a different variety of aquatic plants, including algae, seaweeds, and sea grasses. These plants range from microscopic organisms to large, complex flora. They tend to thrive near the surface of the water, so they can use sunlight to achieve photosynthesis. Howe...
short life spans, and rapid growth rates compared with forest trees. Some plants respond negatively to N deposition, declining in occurrence and/or abundance when N inputs are high, others show positive responses benefiting from the additional N through direct or indirect mechanisms. In many temper...
1). Although some site-specific studies exist16,17, whole-plant trait relationships have not been widely tested at the environmental extremes of plant life such as the cold tundra biome, where plants could exhibit rare or unique trait relationships resulting from adaptation to extreme environmental ...
life cycle that is most sensitive to climate changes. subsequently, based on the period, a suitable model should be selected for conducing assessment to maximize the effectiveness of the model. choosing an inappropriate model to conduct assessment typically results in errors (coetzee et al. 2009 ...
[104]. Today, the sharp decline in bird populations as a consequence of habitat loss because of agricultural activities, urbanization, and toxic pesticide use in both breeding and wintering areas is a global problem [105,106]. Pollinating insects and birds are directly related to plant life ...
genome, it is very exciting to see many more holiday associated species assembled by the Darwin Tree of Life Project. All of these leverage accurate HiFi sequencing to create high-quality, haplotype-resolved genomes, thereby allowing for a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ...

Senescence is integral to the flowering plant life-cycle. Senescence-like processes occur also in non-angiosperm land plants, algae and photosynthetic prokaryotes. Increasing numbers of genes have been assigned functions in the regulation and execution o
