Potential alien ranges of European plants will shrink in the future, but less so for already naturalized than for not yet naturalized species
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Aims The rapid increase in the number of species that have naturalized beyond their native range is among the most apparent features of the Anthropocene. How alien species will respond to other processes of future global ...
Light and flow regimes regulate the metabolism of rivers
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022-02-22)
Mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation drive much of the variation in productivity across Earth's terrestrial ecosystems but do not explain variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) or ecosystem respiration ...
Short-Term Exposure to High Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) Severely Impacts Durum Wheat Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in the Absence of Edaphic Water Stress
(MDPI, 2021-01-08)
Low atmospheric relative humidity (RH) accompanied by elevated air temperature and decreased precipitation are environmental challenges that wheat production will face in future decades. These changes to the atmosphere are ...
The Arabidopsis Transcription Factor CDF3 Is Involved in Nitrogen Responses and Improves Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Tomato
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-24)
Nitrate is an essential macronutrient and a signal molecule that regulates the expression of multiple genes involved in plant growth and development. Here, we describe the participation of Arabidopsis DNA binding with one ...
Enlisting wild grass genes to combat nitrification in wheat farming: A nature-based solution
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2021-08-31)
Active nitrifiers and rapid nitrification are major contributing factors to nitrogen losses in global wheat production. Suppressing nitrifier activity is an effective strategy to limit N losses from agriculture. Production ...
Growth and Nutritional Quality of Lemnaceae Viewed Comparatively in an Ecological and Evolutionary Context
(MDPI, 2021-01-06)
This review focuses on recently characterized traits of the aquatic floating plant Lemna with an emphasis on its capacity to combine rapid growth with the accumulation of high levels of the essential human micronutrient ...
Environmental Determinants of COVID 19 Transmission Across a Wide Climatic Gradient in Chile
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-05-10)
Several studies have examined the transmission dynamics of the novel COVID-19 disease in different parts of the world. Some have reported relationships with various environmental variables, suggesting that spread of the ...
Is plastidic glutamine synthetase essential for C-3 plants? A tale of photorespiratory mutants, ammonium tolerance and conifers
(Wiley, 2022-06)
[EN] Agriculture faces the considerable challenge of having to adapt to a progressively changing climate (including the increase in CO2 levels and temperatures); environmental impact must be reduced while at the same time ...
Allergenicity to worldwide invasive grass Cortaderia selloana as environmental risk to public health
(Nature, 2021-12-24)
Allergies to grass pollen affects about 20% of the population worldwide. In the last few decades, the South American grass Cortaderia selloana (CS, Pampas grass) has expanded worldwide in a variety of countries including ...
The leaf economic and plant size spectra of European forest understory vegetation
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Forest understories play a vital role in ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services. However, the extent to which environmental conditions drive dominant ecological strategies in forest understories at ...
