Facies architecture and depositional model for a fine-grained hybrid-energy delta: An example from the Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Barik Formation, Central Oman
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Recognizing ancient deltas' depositional architecture is challenging due to the complex interplay of the fluvial, waves, and tidal processes. The integration of field-based sedimentological and trace fossils studies of the ...
A new method for broad-scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering.
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
There is increasing interest in broad-scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic filtering, particularly for conservation ...
Mixed metal ferrite (Mn0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4) intercalated g-C3N4 nanocomposite: efficient sunlight driven photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation
(
IOP Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Visible active mixed metal ferrite intercalated semiconductor photocatalyst Mn0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4/g-C3N4 was prepared via facile hydrothermal and liquid assembly method for methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. The prepared samples ...
Scale dependence of species–area relationships is widespread but generally weak in Palaearctic grasslands
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Questions: Species–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental for understanding biodiversity patterns and are generally well described by a power law with a constant exponent z. However, z-values sometimes vary across spatial ...
Fuelwood and fodder consumption patterns among agroforestry-practicing smallholder farmers of the lower Himalayas, India
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Trees are important as a source of fuelwood and fodder for rural populations in the Himalayas. This paper analysed the fuelwood and fodder consumption patterns of rural households in 16 villages in Alaknanda Valley, ...
Impact of ambient temperature, precipitation and seven years of experimental warming and nutrient
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Global change is causing changes in temperature, precipitation, and nutrient availability. Alpine and polar regions are predicted to be among the most vulnerable for these changes. We applied a seven-year factorial experiment ...
Assessment of leaf morphological, physiological, chemical and stoichiometry functional traits for understanding the functioning of Himalayan temperate forest ecosystem
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Leaf functional traits support plant survival and growth in different stress and disturbed conditions and respond according to leaf habit. The present study examined 13 leaf traits (3 morphological, 3 chemical, 5 physiological, ...
Optimal Water-Fertilizer Combinations for Efficient Nitrogen Fixation by Sugarcane at Different Stages of Growth
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
High fertilizer application and over-irrigation in sugarcane systems can cause considerable N2O emissions. Optimized water-fertilization management which reduces N2O emissions, while maintaining sugarcane biomass, is ...
Environmental impacts of using municipal biosolids on soil, plant and groundwater qualities
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three different rates of municipal biosolids produced in Qatar on plant characteristics and soil texture and its potential impacts on groundwater. Petunia atkinsiana, was ...
The Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Risks of Metal(oid)s Bioaccumulation in Leafy Vegetables: A Consumption Advisory
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via the food chain, following bioaccumulation in edible plants, including leafy ...
