Abstract:
... Organic ultraviolet absorbents (UVAs) have attracted increasing concern due to their ubiquity, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. However, available information on their occurrence and transfer in terrestrial environment is still extremely insufficient. In this study, we investigated twelve UVAs in the soils and five terrestrial plant species from a typical industrial area in South China, an ...

Abstract:
... Capturing microplastics (MPs) were one of the important characteristics for terrestrial plant. Whereas, role of mangrove leaves in capturing MPs from tidal water and air were still largely unexplored. Here, we detected the spatial distribution of MPs at both submerged (0.10-0.49 n/cm²) and non-submerged mangrove leaves (0.09-0.24 n/cm²) in the Beibu Gulf. Abundance of MPs on submerged mangrove lea ...

Abstract:
... AIM: During naturalization, many species undergo climatic niche expansion, in which they spread into climates with which they have not been associated previously. This suggests that species are absent from some climatically suitable areas in their native range, but the reason for this is unknown. We aimed to evaluate whether the climatic conditions in which expansion occurs provide information abo ...

Abstract:
... Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and beneficial bacteria are found naturally associated with most terrestrial plant roots. While it is now well known that bacteria colonize AMF and can form aggregates and biofilms, little is known about how interactions between bacterial communities and AMF take place under both in situ and in vitro conditions. We investigated the impact of inoculation with AMF- ...

Abstract:
... Uranium, a heavy metal and primordial radionuclide, is present in surface waters and soils both naturally and due to industrial activities. Uranium is known to be toxic to plants and its uptake and toxicity can be influenced by multiple factors such as pH and the presence of different ions. However, the precise role of the different ions in uranium uptake is not yet known. Here we investigated whe ...

Abstract:
... MOTIVATION: Rapid climate change is altering plant communities around the globe fundamentally. Despite progress in understanding how plants respond to these climate shifts, accumulating evidence suggests that disturbance could not only modify expected plant responses but, in some cases, have larger impacts on compositional shifts than climate change. Climate‐driven disturbances are becoming increa ...

Abstract:
... The introduction and further spread of many alien species have been a result of trade and transport. Consequently, alien species are often found close to traffic infrastructure and urban areas. To contain and manage the spread of alien species, it is essential to identify and predict major routes of spread, which cannot be obtained by applying common modelling approaches such as species distributi ...

The LC-PUFA biosynthetic pathway in Atlantic salmon is one of the most studied compared to other teleosts. This has largely been due to the massive replacement of LC-PUFA-rich ingredients in aquafeeds with te ...
