Abstract The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO 2 , water, and energy exchange between the biosphere atmosphere, other meteorological biological measurements, from 212 sites around globe (over 1500 site-years, up to including year 2014). These sites, independently managed operated, voluntarily contributed their create global datasets. Data were quality controlled processed using uniform methods, improve consistency intercomparability across sites. is already being used...
Extracellular matrix barriers and inducible cytoprotective genes form successive lines of defense against chemical microbial environmental stressors. The barrier in nematodes is a collagenous extracellular called the cuticle. In Caenorhabditis elegans, disruption some cuticle collagen activates osmolyte antimicrobial response genes. Physical damage to epidermis also responses. Here, we assayed effect knocking down required for epidermal integrity on diverse cellular stress We found that...

Invertebrates use the endoribonuclease Dicer to cleave viral dsRNA during antiviral defense, while vertebrates RIG-I-like Receptors (RLRs), which bind trigger an interferon response. While some invertebrate Dicers act alone Caenorhabditis elegans acts in a complex with binding protein called RDE-4, and RLR ortholog DRH-1. We used biochemical structural techniques provide mechanistic insight into how these proteins function together. found RDE-4 is important for ATP-independent ATP-dependent...
A fully functional Dicer helicase, present in the modern arthropod, uses energy generated during ATP hydrolysis to power translocation on bound dsRNA, enabling processive dsRNA cleavage required for efficient antiviral defense. However, orthologs exhibit divergent helicase functions that affect their ability contribute defense, and moreover, mechanisms couple movement remain enigmatic. Here, we used biochemical structural analyses of ancestrally reconstructed helicases map evolution binding...
<ns3:p>Background In this study, we introduce the application of ensemble averages, a concept rooted in statistical mechanics, to analysis Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). This novel approach is employed investigate stakeholder perceptions organic and sustainable food chain across Europe identify leverage points for its improvement. The FCMs were constructed through workshops held seven countries participating European project Foodlevers, using diverse methodologies ensure comprehensive...

Italy is the second largest extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) producer within European Union. Despite its importance in preserving rural landscape and supporting household economy, EVOO sector faces several constraints due to high management costs, small farm size, lack of cooperation investment, production vulnerability, farmers’ ageing. Such a number weak points suggests need identify adopt innovative approaches, at both mill levels. In order address these priorities, fuzzy cognitive mapping...

Agroforestry and ecological intensificationThe agricultural forestry sectors are currently facing the dramatic trilemma of producing food, energy wood for a growing world population, while preserving environment at same time.Agroforestry systems able to address those issues by integrating crops and/or grazing animals with woody perennials on land unit, which results in intensification productivity higher synergic use efficiency natural resources cultural inputs.In Italy, there is long...
