Current global temperature increases resulting from human activity threaten many ecosystems and societies, have led to international national policy commitments that aim reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy crops provide one means of reducing emissions energy production two novel could be used for this purpose are Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby Silphium perfoliatum L. This research examined the existing scientific literature available on both through a systematic review. The data were...
Abstract This article reviews the scholarly literature dealing with perennial multipurpose crop Virginia mallow ( Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby; in following). In regions dominated by intensive agricultural management practices, growing holds potential to combine ecosystem services such as decreasing soil erosion, reducing nitrate leaching well enhancing biodiversity, economic profit for farmer. After promising biomass yields of were reported from studies performed Poland about 15 years ago,...
ABSTRACT Pedospheric nitrate uptake is a strongly regulated process adapted to the N demand of whole plant. Pre‐requisites for an integrating regulatory system are signal substances communicating shoot roots. In current study it was shown that additional atmospheric source results in activation cytokinins as indicated by increase trans ‐hydroxylation ratio, and increased shoot‐to‐root transport phloem. Phloem mobility basipetal were also demonstrated feeding zeatin riboside into The...
Abstract Context Current production from natural forests will not satisfy future world demand for timber and fuel wood, new land management options are required. Aims We explore an innovative system that combines the of short rotation coppice in wide alleys with high-value trees on narrow strips land; it is alternative form alley cropping which we propose to call ‘alley coppice’. The aim describe this illustrate its potential producing two diverse products, namely energy wood same unit....
Information about the availability of solar irradiance for crops is high importance improving management practices agricultural ecosystems such as agroforestry systems (AFS). Hence, development a high-resolution model that allows quantification tree shading on diurnal and annual time scale highly demanded to generate realistic estimations dynamics in given AFS. We describe an approach using 3D data derived from terrestrial laser scanner steps undertaken develop vector-based quantifies...
• We assessed the effect of climatic and canopy density changes on seasonal patterns total soluble nonprotein N (TSNN) in naturally regenerated beech (Fagus sylvatica) seedlings grown limestone. Leaves, roots, wood phloem exudates from control thinned stands a dry, warm SW-exposed site moist, cooler NE-exposed were examined. The concentrations amino compounds, ammonium nitrate, comprising TSNN, determined May (new leaf expansion), July (mid-summer) September (end growing season). In May, Asn...
Abstract: To assess the physiological performance of drought-sensitive European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) under dry Mediterranean climate prevailing at its southeastern distribution limit in Europe, we analyzed seasonal changes carbon, nitrogen and water balance naturally grown adult trees. We determined foliar C N contents, δ13C δ18O signatures, total soluble non-protein compounds (TSNN) xylem, leaves, phloem, as well leaf potential photosynthetic quantum yield northern Greece during 2003....
The problem of how biochemical processes in the brain give rise to conscious experience is still unanswered. This paper aims at stimulating debate surrounding this enigma by advocating study unusual and anomalous aspects consciousness. For purpose, contents are organized three parts. In first part, I provide a brief overview on unsolved riddles mind. These include episodes lucidity that have been termed terminal paradoxical lucidity. Because use these terms has sometimes inappropriate recent...
The literature concerned with experiences of the dying contains numerous accounts reporting sudden return mental clarity shortly before death. These can be described as Terminal Lucidity (TL). most peculiar cases concern patients suffering from disability including illness or dementia. Despite potential relevance TL for developing new forms therapies and elaborating an improved understanding nature human consciousness, very little has been published on this subject. In paper I present a...
Terminal lucidity, the unexpected return of mental clarity and memory shortly before death patients suffering from severe psychiatric neurologic disorders, has raised curiosity numerous physicians laypersons in past. However, this peculiar phenomenon received little attention recent decades. In previous publications, we have presented overviews cases terminal lucidity various disorders. article, highlight persons with disabilities, focus on one most remarkable that been reported. We provide...
