动物植物Soil respiration is the result of heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and autotrophic respiration (Ra), accounting for about 50%–75% of the total ecosystem respiration on land, which is crucial for the global carbon cycle and plays an indispensable role in bio
阅读全文动物植物RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau has shown for the first time, in a joint study with BOKU University, that permaculture brings about a significant improvement in biodiversity, soil quality and carbon storage.
阅读全文动物植物Curious bits of DNA tucked inside genomes across all kingdoms of life historically have been disregarded since they don't seem to have a role to play in the competition for survival, or so researchers thought.
阅读全文动物植物Pseudomonas aeruginosa—an environmental bacteria that can cause devastating multidrug-resistant infections, particularly in people with underlying lung conditions—evolved rapidly and then spread globally over the last 200 years, probably driven by changes
阅读全文动物植物Oxygen is essential for life on Earth, but it also gives rise to free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells. Antioxidants are chemical compounds that protect cells by neutralizing free radicals. The quintessential antioxidant is ubiquinone, s
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Cambridge and collaborating institutions have discovered that alterations in the human gene TRPC5 cause obesity and postpartum depression.
阅读全文动物植物The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a valuable model to study the regulation of macropinocytosis. A research team led by Prof. Cai Huaqing from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently used the Dictyostelium mo
阅读全文动物植物New analysis of a laboratory renowned for producing Nobel Prize winners has revealed how a clear management strategy plays a critical part in producing scientific breakthroughs.
阅读全文动物植物Research staff from the Gandia Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology of the Universitat de València have assessed the effects of climate change on the productivity of two sp
阅读全文动物植物A new publication authored by scientists from the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) and IIASA with a large European consortium provides vital insights into the current status of biodiversity monitoring in Europe, identifying polic
阅读全文动物植物Iron is a vital micronutrient for plants, essential for photosynthesis, respiration, and various metabolic processes. Despite its abundance in the soil, iron often exists in insoluble forms, particularly in calcareous soils, making it difficult for plants
阅读全文动物植物Anthocyanins are vital for plant defense, coloration, and attracting pollinators. They play a significant role in protecting plants from environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations, drought, and pathogen attacks.
