Soil microbial growth, respiration, and carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) are essential parameters to understand, describe model the soil cycle. While seasonal dynamics of respiration well studied, little is known about how growth CUE change over course a year, especially outside plant growing season. In this study, we measured gross via 18O incorporation into DNA, biomass in an agricultural field deciduous forest 16 times two years. We sampled soils depth 5 cm from plots at which harvest...
In 2004, David Frodin published a landmark review of the history and concepts big plant genera. Two decades taxonomic activity have taken place since, coinciding with revolution in phylogenetics bioinformatics. Here we use data from World Flora Online (WFO) to provide an updated list (more than 500 species) megadiverse 1000 flowering genera highlight changes since 2004. The number has increased 57 86; today one every four species is classified as member genus, 14% just 28 Most (71%) growth...

The evolution of geophytes in response to different environmental stressors is poorly understood largely due the great morphological variation underground plant organs, which includes species with rhizomatous structures or storage organs (USOs). Here we compare and ecological niche patterns geophytic Solanum L., classified based on a functional definition using clade-based approach an expert-verified specimen occurrence dataset. Results from PERMANOVA Phylogenetic ANOVAs indicate that occupy...
