Spatio-temporal variation in potential habitats for rare and endangered plants and habitat conservation based on the maximum entropy model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Rare and endangered plants (REPs) act as key indicators for species habitat priorities, and can thus be critical in global biodiversity protection work. Human activities and climate change pose great threats to REPs, so ...
Making sense of multivariate community responses in global change experiments
(2022 , Article)
Ecological communities are being impacted by global change worldwide. Experiments are a powerful tool to understand how global change will impact communities by comparing control and treatment replicates. Communities consist ...
Can bryophyte groups increase functional resolution in tundra ecosystems?
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2022 , Article Review)
The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental changes at the species level, but because ...
Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. ...
Changes in air quality during the first-level response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai Municipality, China
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Ongoing rapid urban population growth world-wide has led to serious environmental problems that affect ecosystems and also lower the security and happiness of urban residents about their living environment. The most ...
Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that ...
Bacterial community structure and predicted function in the rhizosphere of wild and cultivated date palms: Effects of Fertilizers on Composition and Functionality
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigated bacterial diversity in date palm rhizosphere and assessed the influence of different fertilizers on diversity using metagenomics. A total of 6356 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) and 1164425 ...
Modeling the influence of daily temperature and precipitation extreme indices on vegetation dynamics in Katsina State using statistical downscaling model (SDM)
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Climate change significantly impacts local, regional, and global vegetation changes. These changes have continued to threaten ecosystems, especially in dryland areas where moisture is scarce, and the livelihoods of rural ...
The Adsorption Potential of Cr from Water by ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Azolla pinnata
(2022 , Article)
Aqueous solutions containing toxic elements (TEs) (such as hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) can be toxic to humans even at trace levels. Thus, removing TEs from the aqueous environment is essential for the protection of ...
The impacts of water level fluctuations from paddy fields and aquaculture ponds on wetland habitats for wintering waterbirds: Implications for wetland management
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
The distribution and composition of wetland habitats for wintering waterbirds are heavily influenced by water level fluctuations. Through polder construction and aquaculture activities, paddy fields and aquaculture ponds ...
