1. Plants have numerous impacts on biogeochemical cycling across both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These effects extend well beyond the critical role of carbon (C) fixation through photosynthesis that provides the ...

The arrival of exotic pollinators to new habitats may introduce new patterns of floral preference and foraging behavior that modify the structure of the resident plant-pollinator community. The aim of this paper is to ...

Plants affect growth of each other through several mechanisms and their combined effect is known as “interference”. Resource competition is major interference mechanism active in nature. In competitive interactions, a plant ...

Terrestrial ecologists have identified multifaceted controls—climate, biogeography, disturbances, and their interactions—that shape how plant communities in natural ecosystems organize in space and time. Multiple documented ...

Lentibulariaceae is the richest family of carnivorous plants spanning three genera including Pinguicula, Genlisea, and Utricularia. Utricularia is globally distributed, and, unlike Pinguicula and Genlisea, has both aquatic ...

A study of the ecotoxicity of different short aliphatic protic ionic liquids (PILs) on terrestrial organisms was conducted. Tests performed within the present study include those assessing the effects of PILs on soil ...

Pink Root is among the major diseases of onion and its causal agent, Setophoma terrestris, is one of the most severe pathogens in soils of tropical and subtropical climates. The management of Pink Root is difficult and the ...

Advances in agricultural technology have led to the development of active remote sensing equipment that can potentially estimate components of crop production; however, this assessment is still in its early stages for the ...
