Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ...
Short-Term Effects of Experimental Warming and Precipitation Manipulation on Soil Microbial Biomass C and N, Community Substrate Utilization Patterns and Community Composition
(
Soil Science Society of China
, 2017 , Article)
Soil microorganisms are major drivers of soil carbon (C) cycling; however, the response of these microorganisms to climate change remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated how 18 months of multifactor climate ...
Variations in the temperature sensitivity of spring leaf phenology from 1978 to 2014 in Mudanjiang, China
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Continuous long-term temperature sensitivity (ST) of leaf unfolding date (LUD) and main impacting factors in spring in the period 1978–2014 for 40 plant species in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, were ...
Eggshell membrane as a novel bio sorbent for remediation of boron from desalinated water
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigated the use of eggshell membrane (ESM) as a bio-sorbent and the effect of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on its efficiency. Furthermore, by altering the chemical composition, modified eggshell ...
Improving niche projections of plant species under climate change: Silene acaulis on the British Isles as a case study
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Empirical works to assist in choosing climatically relevant variables in the attempt to predict climate change impacts on plant species are limited. Further uncertainties arise in choice of an appropriate niche model. In ...
A comparison of the Ranging behaviour and habitat use of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar with hedgehog taxa from temperate environments
(
NaturePublishingGroup
, 2018 , Article)
We investigated seasonal changes in the ecology and behaviour of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar, particularly in respect to differences in behaviour between hedgehogs living in arid environments ...
Macrobenthos in the central Arabian Gulf: a reflection of climate extremes and variability
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
The arid subtropical ecosystem of the central Arabian Gulf was used to explore the combined effects of low primary productivity, high salinities, and variable temperatures on the composition and structure of benthic ...
Agroecology as a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Smallholders of Tehri-Garhwal in the Indian Himalayan Region
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and rainfall in the Himalayan region and place stress on local livelihoods by affecting agro-biodiversity, crop yield, cropping patterns and the species composition of ...
Larval hatching and development of the wedge shell (Donax trunculus L.) under increased CO2 in southern Portugal
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Noticeable changes in global temperatures, climate and ocean carbon chemistry are the result of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere. This increase has been mitigated by the oceans capacity to absorb one-fourth of the ...
Diversity-productivity dependent resistance of an alpine plant community to different climate change scenarios
(
Springer Tokyo
, 2016 , Article)
Here we report from a experiment imposing different warming scenarios [control with ambient temperature, constant level of moderate warming for 3�years, stepwise increase in warming for 3�years, and one season of high level ...
