Behavioural ecology and conservation of the Egyptian Vulture in human-dominated landscapes: insights from long-term monitoring and movement ecology
(2022-03-25)
Human activities transformed virtually all landscapes worldwide to fulfil their basic needs (e.g., resource extraction, agriculture or leisure activities). By doing so, they also affect species inhabiting these human-dominated ...
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 ...
Temperature-induced priming during Pinus radiata somatic embryogenesis: integrating proteomic, metabolic and physiological approaches
(2021-03-10)
Debido a los efectos del cambio climático, la producción de planta forestal de alta calidad con elevada capacidad de tolerancia a diversos estreses bióticos/abióticos es de gran importancia. La embriogénesis somática es ...
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 ...
Combination of gentle remediation options to clean up soils simultaneously contaminated with organic and inorganic pollutants
(2020-07-28)
La contaminación del suelo es un problema ampliamente extendido que afecta negativamente a la salud del ecosistema edáfico y, por ende, al suministro de servicios ecosistémicos. La presencia simultánea de contaminantes ...
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 ...
The energy cost of primary metabolism vacuole expansion: central to shape toamto leaf development under ammonium nutrition
(2020-07-10)
Ammonium (NH4+) is a nitrogen source of great interest in the context of sustainable agriculture. Its application in the field together with nitrification inhibitors has been extensively proven efficient to limit detrimental ...
