Shrub encroachment into grasslands poses a global concern, impacting species biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Yet, the effect of shrub on herbaceous diseases dependence that climatic factors remain ambiguous. This study spans over 4,000 km, examining significant variability in temperature precipitation. Our findings reveal plant richness diminishes pathogen load foliar fungal plants both grassland patches. Temperature emerges as primary driver variations biomass within communities....
Microbial mutualists can profoundly modify host species ecology and evolution, by extension altering interactions with other microbial species, including pathogens. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may moderate infections pathogens, but the direction strength of these effects be idiosyncratic. To assess how introduction AMF impacts incidence severity aboveground plant diseases (i.e. 'disease impact'), we conducted a meta-analysis 130 comparisons derived from 69 published studies. elucidate...
Abstract Both bottom‐up and top‐down processes modulate plant communities. Fungal oomycete pathogens are most common in global grasslands, due to differences their physiology, function, host range, life cycles, they may differentially affect plants (in both intensity direction). However, how fungal regulate effects on community biomass remains unclear. To this end, we conducted a 3‐year field experiment an alpine meadow incorporating mammalian herbivore exclosure, fungicide/oomyceticide...
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are global public health concerns. The relationship between HF IPF is widely acknowledged. However, the interaction mechanisms these two diseases remain unclear, early diagnosis particularly difficult. Through integration of bioinformatics machine learning, our work aims to investigate common gene features, putative molecular causes, prospective diagnostic indicators HF.MethodsThe Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database...
Abstract A long‐standing debate exists among ecologists as to how diversity regulates infectious diseases (i.e., the nature of diversity‐disease relationships); a dilution effect refers when increasing host inhibits negative relationships). However, generality, strength, and potential mechanisms underlying relationships in natural ecosystems remain unclear. To this end, we conducted large‐scale survey 63 grassland sites across China explore relationships. We found widespread that were...
The resorption of nutrients by plants before litter fall and the mineralization from plant soil processes are both important pathways supporting primary productivity. While positive relationship between biodiversity productivity is widely accepted for natural ecosystems, roles nutrient in mediating that remains largely unknown. Here, we quantified relative importance nitrogen (N) N driving community investment correlation species diversity along an N-limited successional chronosequence mixed...
Abstract Aim Attempts over the past 30 years to explain geographical variation in strength of herbivore pressure have given rise ecological hypotheses like latitudinal herbivory hypothesis. This hypothesis, however, has rarely been tested using community‐level data. Therefore, aim our study was examine patterns and potential mechanisms underlying community‐wide herbivory. Location The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Time Period July 2021. Major Taxa Studied Plants. Methods We selected 43 grassland...
Despite the long-standing ecological interest in elevational-diversity gradients, it remains unclear whether different life forms (trees, shrubs and herbs) show same diversity patterns along gradient. The distribution of plants observed an altitudinal elevation Lancang River Nature Reserve (Yunnan, China) was used to explore this question. We also explored effects boundary constraints climatic factors on plant diversity. Our results showed that: (1) All significant similar elevational trends...
Salt stress is a harmful and global abiotic to plants has an adverse effect on all physiological processes of plants. Recently, we cloned identified novel AtHSPR (Arabidopsis thaliana Heat Shock Protein Related), which encodes nuclear-localized protein with ATPase activity, participates in salt drought tolerance Arabidopsis. Transcript profiling analysis revealed differential expression genes involved accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS), abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, response...
Shine muscat is a Vitis vinifera hybrid (Akitsu-21 × Hakunan), that has emerged as popular table grape cultivar in China. In recent years, shine been widely cultivated with 66,667 ha being 2021. November 2021, symptoms of fruit spot were observed on during the storage at 0~3℃ and 85%~90% RH, while stored National Agricultural Product Preservation Engineering Technology Research Center, Tianjin (N 116°20', E 39°09'), The incidence this disease was about 35%. Affected berries initially had...
Abstract The spread of woody plants into grasslands represents a worldwide concern because its impact on species biodiversity and ecosystem operations. However, our comprehension the influence shrubs herbaceous diseases in is limited. In study, we performed extensive examinations populations under shrub canopy as well nearby grassland patches shrubby over 4,000 kilometers. This large-scale assessment encompassed regions with significant variability both temperature precipitation. Our...
The hazards of debris flows and the vulnerability to these were used as a basis for risk assessment in Zhouqu County, southern Gansu Province, China. GIS software was perform regional each township County with 250 m×250 m spatial resolution. population, economy, ecological environment accounted develop comprehensive index township. A model zoning map County. It is found that areas highest mainly distributed Chengguan, Dongshan, Jiangpan, Dachuan, Guoye townships. Based on results study,...
Attempts over the past 30 years to explain geographic variation in strength of herbivore pressure gave rise latitudinal herbivory hypothesis. However, this long-standing hypothesis has rarely been tested using community-level data. In study, we selected 43 grassland sites along a 1,500-km gradient (c. 27°N 39°N) on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. We calculated community-wide at each site by summing across plant species weighted biomass species; then investigated how abiotic and biotic correlates...
