Forests are spatially and temporally dynamic, such that forest degradation is best quantified across whole landscapes and over the long term. The European Union’s forest degradation policy, which focuses on contemporary primary forest conversion to plantations, ignores other globally prevalent forestry pr...
The term lfc,s,r represents total store cattle numbers and lg is the area of the farm-type “lowland-grazing” in each soil/rain class (s) and region (r). 2.1.8. Feed availability Livestock numbers were also limited by total feed availability. The ME requirements of the livestock being...
Answer to: The term neutrophile refers to which of the following growth requirements: a. hydrostatic pressure b. temperature c. nitrogen source d...
In coccolithophores, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) exists in mutually exchanging intracellular reservoirs. The intracellular process responsible for the largest isotopic fractionation in these organisms is the conversion of inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) to organic matter (carbon fixation), which has i...
Therefore, we selected four ecosystem service functions: water conservation, soil conservation, carbon fixation and biodiversity maintenance for quantitative evaluation, mainly reflecting the indicator characteristics of “water, forest, lake and grass”. Due to the widespread karst landscape and complex ...
The viral community has the potential to influence the structure of the microbiome and thus the yield of the anaerobic digestion process. However, the virome composition in anaerobic digestion is still under-investigated. A viral induction experiment was
(6) the imaginary value. Over the years the understanding of the term quality has changed from the former more product- and process-oriented evaluation of product quality to a more consumer-oriented one (Kramer and Twigg1970; Shewfelt and Brückner2000). Of course this has strong implications ...
The field of retinal prosthetics has seen significant advances in the past 3 decades. Encouraging results from different groups have shown coarse objective functional improvement, using a range of technological and surgical approaches. The Argus II retin
Government expenditure and taxation have a significant influence on the long-term adaptation and resilience of societies to climate and other environmental shocks. Unprecedented fiscal spending in the COVID-19 recovery offered an opportunity to systemati
This term was originally used to describe genes that had more than one effect. However, its general meaning in biology refers to something that has multiple, often unrelated impacts. The exchange of an amino acid in a protein by site-directed mutagenesis can have a structural effect, for examp...
