Bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses are reflective organisms that indicate soil health. Investigating the impact of crude oil pollution on community structure interactions among bacteria, in Calamagrostis epigejos can provide theoretical support for remediating ecosystems. In this study, was selected as research subject subjected to different levels addition (0 kg/hm2, 10 40 kg/hm2). Metagenomic sequencing technology employed analyze diversity viruses. Additionally, molecular ecological...
Notopterygium H. de Boissieu (Apiaceae) is an endangered perennial herb endemic to China. A good knowledge of phylogenetic evolution and population genomics conducive the establishment effective management conservation strategies genus Notopterygium. In this study, complete chloroplast (cp) genomes four species (N. incisum C. Ting ex T. Chang, N. oviforme R. Shan, franchetii forrestii Wolff) were assembled characterized using next-generation sequencing. We investigated gene organization,...
This study aimed to reveal the effects of crude oil addition on characteristics soil microbial communities and ecosystem multifunctionality in Achnatherum splendens Pennisetum alopecuroides . Specifically, it explored how influences relationship between nutrient regulation, community characteristics, multifunctionality. The results indicated that as increased, Shannon index Chao1 for bacteria fungi both increased. Conversely, while archaea species decreased. ecological network analysis a...
The negative effects of enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) on plant growth and development have been reported with many species. Considering the ability jasmonic acid (JA) to improve stress tolerance, hypothesis that JA pretreatment could alleviate adverse UV-B
Size inequality in plant populations is a ubiquitous feature that has received much attention due to ecological and evolutionary implications. The mechanisms driving size were mainly attributed different modes of competition (symmetric versus asymmetric), while the potential effects facilitation asymmetric) this pattern have not yet been fully explored. We employed an individual‐based model explore relative roles both simultaneously along environmental stress gradient. Special emphasis was...
An unresolved question of temperate forests is how pioneer tree species persist in mature forests. In order to understand the responsible mechanisms, we investigated a near-climax mixed forest dominated by Betula albosinensis Qinling Mountains China. Through establishing four 50 m × plots, examined canopy disturbance characteristics and its effects on recruitments. We further test intra- interspecific recruitment B. albosinensis. The obtained data demonstrated was frequent but most...
Fire and mowing are crucial drivers of grass growth. However, their effects on soil properties, microbial communities, plant productivity in dry-alkaline grasslands have not been well investigated. This study evaluated the (slightly deeply) fire vegetation traits (Tiller number per cluster height) biomass (plant dry weight), availability N, P, K, as microorganism abundance a Miscanthus system. We designed one control three experimental plots deeply mowed, burned) 2020-2021 Xi'an Botanical...
Abstract Speciation is often accompanied by frequent gene exchanges, which have been gradually recognized as a common phenomenon in nature. Although flow may influence different reproductive isolations, the specific mechanism of process still requires more experimental evidence, especially hybrid populations that no significant differentiation and isolation. To address this challenge, study aims to elucidate underlying mechanisms sympatry parapatry related species. Three sclerophyllous oaks...
Introduction Touch by neighboring plants is a common but overlooked environmental variable for plants, especially in dense vegetation. In addition, shade inevitable understory plants. The growth performance of clonal plant to the interaction between thigmomorphogenesis and response, their impact on light adaptability still unknown. Methods At present study, parental ramets Glechoma longituba were exposed two conditions (neighboring touch shade), offspring ambient or shaded environment....
Abstract Questions Interspecific differences in plant biomass allocation reflect nutrient use strategy, determining species fitness under different environmental conditions. However, may be affected by both habitat and traits. We asked how conditions traits jointly affect shrub allocation. Specifically, they further play roles understanding community composition as ecoregion changes. Location Shaanxi province, North China. Methods Plant biomass, were surveyed for 48 sites distributed five...
In nature, ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is highly heterogeneous, both spatially and temporally. Plants exposed to UV-B produce absorbing compounds that function as a protective filter. For clonal plants under heterogeneous conditions, integration among ramets can allow irradiated benefit un-irradiated by causing them increase their content. this study, we evaluated between pairs of Glechoma longituba or homogeneous conditions. We determined the levels compounds, nitric oxide (NO) hydrogen...
(1) The effects of facilitation on the structure and dynamics plant populations have not been studied so widely as competition. UV-B radiation, a typical environmental factor causing stress, may result in direct stress facilitation. (2) radiation intraspecific competition were investigated based following three predictions self-thinning, size inequality, phenotypic plasticity: i) Self-thinning is reduction density that results from increase mean biomass individuals crowded populations,...
The species diversity of higher plant communities in Foping National Reserve was measured with index (Simpson and Shannon index),Pielou's evenness richness. result shows that the forest is than shrubs meadow communities, deciduous broad-leaved coniferous forest, oak popular birch forest. decreases increase elevation. indices for different layers show tree layer has similar shrub layer, while herbaceous both layers.
Abstract One of the key aims global change studies is to predict more accurately how plant community composition responds future environmental changes. Although interspecific relationship one most important forces structuring communities, it remains a challenge integrate long‐term consequences at level. As an increasing number have shown that maternal environment affects offspring phenotypic plasticity as response through transgenerational effects, we speculated effect would influence...
Coastal eutrophication may be a vital inducement of green tide. Denitrification is an important nitrogen removal pathway that involves series enzymatic reactions. The rate-limiting step in the conversion nitrite to nitric oxide encoded by two functionally equivalent but structurally distinct genes, copper-containing reductase gene ( nirK ) and cytochrome cd1-containing nirS ). Here, we used Illumina Miseq sequencing approach examine variations denitrifying bacterial community characteristics...
Increasingly, tropical studies based on aboveground traits have suggested that lianas a more acquisitive strategy than trees, thereby possibly explaining the increase in relative to trees many forests under global change. However, few tested whether this pattern can be extended root and temperate forests. In study, we sampled 61 liana-host tree pairs quantified 11 commonly studied functional representative of plant economics roots, stems, leaves; aimed determine root, stem leaf are...
