The global climate system has been become increasingly unstable, and the frequency of extreme high temperature weather obviously increased, which had a serious impact on the growth and development of jujube trees. In this study, two different cultivars of high temperature tolerance 'Junzao' and...

As climate change accelerates, extreme weather events become more severe and frequent. We analyzed the datasets of decade-long observation (2005-2020) of mercury (Hg) stored in two subtropical evergreen forests to understand the impacts of extreme weather on the sequestration of atmospheric Hg in...

How desert shrubs respond to drought and heat remains poorly understood. We investigated how drought affected the morphology and physiology of two C₄ species with different root architecture, Calligonumarborescens and Haloxylon ammodendron, in the Taklamakan Desert. We measured leaf traits,...

Tetraploid poplar plants were induced by colchicine from tissue-cultured shoots; the induction efficiency varied with colchicine concentration. Morphologically, induced tetraploid plants were significantly distinguishable from diploid plants; their leaves were larger, thicker, and rounder, with...

Permineralised stems of Ductoagathoxylon tsaaganensis Cai, Zhang et Feng sp. nov. are described from the Upper Permian strata of the Tsaagan Tolgoy section, South Gobi Basin, Mongolia. The stems were preserved with pith and primary and secondary xylems. The pith is solid, heterocellular, and...

We studied the effects of waterlogging stress on the change of physiological indexes of Malus hupehensis leaves to explore the regulation and to evaluate the characteristics of waterlogging resistance for the cultivation of M. hupehensis. The contents of soluble sugar and soluble protein in leaves...

Changes in future climate will have an important impact on biodiversity. Taiwania cryptomerioides has important scientific value for the study of paleogeography, paleoclimate and paleobotany. Based on the environmental data and future scenarios provided by previous studies, the present and future...

Objective: The ecological mulching mats made from green waste were used to cover the bare soil in urban green space, so as to improve the water use efficiency of landscaping, reduce soil erosion and explore a new approach to the reuse of green waste. Method: Ecological mulching mats manufactured by ...

Objective: To verify the stress-resistance function of the NAC transcription factor gene(HaNAC12) of Haloxylon ammodendron, to analyze the molecular mechanism of H. ammodendron in response to stress, so as to provide theoretical reference for the genetic improvement of stress-resistance in H....

A new bacterial strain, designated HM134^T, was isolated from a sample of soil collected from a Chinese mangrove Avicennia marina forest. Assessed by a polyphasic approach, the taxonomy of strain HM134^T was found to be associated with a range of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic properties consistent...
