Many species and communities thrive in, on, around and under trees. Although these have been studied for centuries, investigations of the complexity and diversity of the interactions with trees still come up with surprising discoveries to this day. Ongoing deforestation also threatens many of the...

In early studies, it was found that ruminants have a unique complex digestive and metabolic system, the abomasum and intestinal digesta empties are significantly different from those of monogastric animals. However, limited by research methods, few studies have been carried out on the composition...

In this experiment, itaconic acid, maleic acid, acrylic acid, and potassium persulfate were polymerized to form synergist, which was wrapped on the surface of phosphate fertilizer particles to make synergistic phosphate fertilizer. In order to explore synergistic phosphate fertilizer effects on...

Classic ecological theory has proven that temperature, precipitation and productivity organize ecosystems at broad scales and are generalized drivers of biodiversity within different biomes. At local scales, the strength of these predictors is not consistent across different biomes. To better...

In recent years, the microbiome has attracted much attention because of the multiple roles and functions that microbes play in plants, animals, and human beings. Seed-associated microbes are of particular interest in being the initial microbial inoculum that affects the critical early life stages...

N₂O is regarded as an inevitable intermediate during nitrogen removal, especially for wastewater treatment plants where good operating conditions would be required to mitigate N₂O releasing, which generally causes a high treatment cost. In this study, a novel bacterium capable of removing nitrogen...

Water level variability and temporal change are critical for shaping the structure of aquatic vegetation. Much research has examined the response of aquatic vegetation to hydrological metrics. However, the hydrological sequence is a fundamental driver of aquatic ecosystem structure and function....

Kerala, renowned for its rich biodiversity, is endowed with home garden based agroecosystems which act as a reservoir to satisfy the escalating food, nutritional and economic demands of the people. The home gardens on the high range area are of typical, with complex biodiversity profile, peculiar...

The main sources of air-breathing and attractive fish species in the Brahmaputra basin are the wetland or the floodplain lakes. A significant number of riverine species are transported in the wetland areas by the flood impulse of the Brahmaputra and its tributaries. Various types of ornamental fish ...

Dyschiriini (Coleoptera Carabidae) is a tribe of ground beetles that has never received specific attention in the Ibero-Balearic region, resulting in a general lack of taxonomic, ecological and distributional knowledge. In this work, we revise the available bibliography and published data, analyse...
