Dry subtropical regions (DST), originally hosting woodlands and savannas, are subject to contrasting human pressures and land uses and different degrees of water limitation. We quantified how this variable context influences landscape pattern and vegetation functioning, by exploring the associations between three groups of variables describing (i) human pressures (population density, poverty, a...

Aim To determine the factors influencing the distribution of birds in remnants in a fragmented agricultural landscape. Location Forty-seven eucalypt remnants and six sites in continuous forest in the subhumid Midlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Methods Sites were censused over a two-year period, and environmental data were collected for remnants. The avifauna of the sites was classified and...

In many parts of the world, limited water and climate change are significant challenges to future peanut production, much work remains in developing heat- drought-tolerant cultivars. To this end, we evaluated 21 accessions U.S. mini-core under water-limited conditions 2018 2019 Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia. These were identified as potentially exhibiting phenotypic extremes for ten drought stress ...

Abstract. The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a vital role in Asian and even global atmospheric circulation, through the interactions between land atmosphere. It has experienced significant climate warming spatially temporally variant wetting over past half century. Because of importance surface status to interactions, determining drying TP from individual changes precipitation (Prep) or temperature...

To characterize and compare the protein quality of ten durum wheat genotypes grown under three cropping modalities in Algeria (subhumid Algiers, subhumid-semiarid Constantine, semiarid Sétif), profile their kernels was performed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (SE-HPLC RP-HPLC). The “variety” factor has a major impact, mainly on insoluble fraction (Fi), gliadin/glutenin ratio, large s...
