Studying the impact of biodiversity on ecosystem multifunctionality is helpful for clarifying ecological mechanisms (such as niche complementary effects and selection) ecosystems providing multiple services. Biodiversity has a significant versatility, but relative importance functional diversity dominant species to functions needs further evaluation. We studied desert plant community in Ebinur ...

Alpine meadow, typical steppe and desert are globally important rangeland ecosystems. However, the seasonal variations in concentrations of trace elements, which nutrients for grazing livestock, unclear these types it is difficult to prevent disorders livestock caused by element excesses deficiencies. In order identify forage species might serve as indicators status forage, we investigated tren...

Abstract In this study, a coastal research site north of Kuwait Bay faces sand encroachment, floods, and wave erosion. The plantation project’s infrastructure was improved by fencing 1.2 km2 with barbed wire. heavily deteriorated environment has coppice dunes Nitraria retusa Lycium shawii around single, double, or triple plants. To manage mobile dust protect the centre, 21,500 were planted irri...

Abstract Background The CIPKs are a group of plant-specific Ser/Thr protein kinases acting in response to calcium signaling, which plays an important role the physiological and developmental adaptation plants adverse environments. However, functions halophyte-derived CIPK s still poorly understood, that limits potential application from halophytes for improving tolerance glycophytes abiotic str...

Sporopollenin is a highly resistant biopolymer that forms the outer wall of pollen and spores (sporomorphs). Recent research into sporopollenin chemistry has opened up range new avenues for palynological research, including chemotaxonomic classification morphologically cryptic taxa. However, there have been limited attempts to directly integrate extant fossil chemical data. Of particular import...
