THE INFLUENCE OF ELEVATED CO2 AND SOIL DEPTH ON RHIZOSPHERE ACTIVITY AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IN A MATURE EUCALYPTUS WOODLAND

The influence of elevated CO2 and soil depth on rhizosphere activity and nutrient availability in a mature Eucalyptus woodland

Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) in the atmosphere increases forest biomass productivity but only where soil nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), are not limiting growth.eCO2, in turn, can impact rhizosphere nutrient availability.Our current understanding of nutrient cycling under eCO2 is mainly derived from surface soil, leaving

Decoding the dual recognition mechanism of the glucocorticoid receptor for DNA and RNA: sequence versus shape

Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) regulate eukaryotic transcription through selective DNA-binding, can also specifically interact with RNA, which may present another layer of transcriptional control.The mechanisms of the TFs-DNA recognition are often well-characterised, while the details of TFs-RNA complexation are less understood.Here we invest

Effectiveness of protected areas against land development in coastal areas of the Mediterranean global biodiversity hotspot

The Mediterranean Basin is a heavily pressured World biodiversity hotspot.Mediterranean coastal areas are especially threatened due to tourism, inland migration and population growth, jeopardizing the remaining natural habitats.Protected areas (PAs) aim to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services in the long term.Here, we assessed whether coast

Overheating risk of a single-family detached house built at different ages under current and future climate in Canada

With the anticipated increase in temperature and solar radiation and frequency of Adhesion Promoter extreme weather conditions due to climate change, buildings typically designed/built in Canadian cold climates would experience increased risks of summer overheating.This paper focuses on how these existing buildings perform under a current extreme y
