Abstract The coupling between land use/landscape pattern and water quality in river systems varies across different spatial temporal scales. It is important to understand the association scales for protection of resources. Here, we measured seasonal at 12 sub‐basins upper reaches Han River (UHR) 2010 2018. We conducted factor analysis redundancy determine links use multiple identify main factors influencing quality. found that concentration nutrients, including total nitrogen, phosphorus,...
The ~350 km2 water level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) of China, situated at intersection terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, experiences a great hydrological change with prolonged winter inundation. Soil samples were collected 12 sites pre- (September 2008) post submergence (June 2009) WLFZ analyzed for soil nutrients. Self-organizing map (SOM) statistical analysis including multi-way ANOVA, paired-T test, stepwise least squares multiple regression employed to...
Abstract Questions What are the primary types of intraspecific distribution patterns and interspecific associations tree species in temperate–subtropical transition region? Can potential ecological mechanisms such as habitat heterogeneity, dispersal limitation, density dependence, spatial segregation, competition between regulate these patterns? Location The Qinling Mountains, north‐central China. Methods Ripley's K ‐function, D ‐function pair correlation function were applied to assess 15...
The optimum growth of soil crust-forming cyanobacterial species occurs between 21 and 30 °C. When the temperature decreases below -5 °C, liquid water in cells may freeze. In natural environment, gradually from autumn to winter, diurnal temperatures fluctuate enormously. It was hypothesized that physiology changes later acclimatize upcoming freezing temperatures. present study, an incubation experiment chambers designed stimulate responses variations before late autumn. results showed "light"...
Topography strongly influences the compositional structure of tree communities and plays a fundamental role in classifying habitats. Here, data topography 16 dominant species abundance were collected fully mapped 25-ha forest plot Qinling Mountains north-central China. Multivariate regression trees (MRT) used to categorize habitats, habitat associations examined using torus-translation test. The relative contributions topographic spatial variables total community also by variation...
Biodiversity conservation has long been a subject of extreme interest to community ecologists, with particular focus on exploring the underlying causes species diversity based niche and neutral theories. This study aims identify potential determinants in deciduous broad-leaved forest transitional region from subtropical temperate climate China. We collected woody plant data environmental variables fully mapped 25-ha permanent plot, partitioned beta-diversity into local contributions (LCBD)...
Pathogenic enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of bacterial diarrhea in weaning piglets, which are vulnerable to changes environment and feed. This study aimed determine the effects ETEC challenge on piglet growth performance, rate, jejunal microbial profile, morphology goblet cell distribution. A total 13 piglets from one litter were selected postnatal day 21 assigned treatments with or without at 1 × 108 CFUs, as group control group, respectively. On 28, samples...
