Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are key leaf functional traits often used to reflect plant resource utilization strategies and predict plant responses to environmental changes. In general, grassland plants at different elevations exhibit varying survival strategies. However, it remains unclear how grassland plants adapt ...

Introduction As an exceptional geographical entity, the vegetation of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) exhibits high sensitivity to climate change. The Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve (BNNR) is located in the south-eastern sector of the QTP, serving as a transition area from sub-tropical evergreen broadleaf forest to high-mountain vege...

Soil fungi play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycles of forest ecosystems. Larix gmelinii is a strong and important timber tree species, which forms close associations with a wide range of soil fungi. However, the temporal-spatial disparity effects on the assembly of soil fungal communities in L. gmelinii forests are poorly understood. To a...

One of the key variables that can affect energy consumption in a building is the shape of the structure. The current study aims to balance the using solar radiation (lighting, heating, and cooling) and energy consumption by analyzing climatic factors’ effect on building formation systems’ standards. The research shows the mechanism of reaching opti...

The objective of this research is based on the use of finite differences, as a finite difference arrangement model that can be used as an estimation model of climatic factors in Nicaragua. In this case, the precipitation from the airport station was used. , studying the period 1958-2010, as the only season, for this the theory referred to in the to...

The objective, based on Artificial Neural Networks, can be used as a prediction model for climatic factors in Nicaragua, studied in the period 2021-2022. According to the results, a projection of the precipitation for the year 2023 is observed from the ANN algorithm, the behavior in the year 2023 is below the precipitation trend lines for the years...

Background: Schistosomiasis is endemic throughout all regions of Côte d’Ivoire, however, species of the intermediate snail host vary across bioclimatic zones. Hence, a deeper knowledge of the influence of climatic on the life history traits of the intermediate snail host is crucial to understand the environmental determinants of schistosomiasis in ...

Introduction Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is an important crop grown in the United States and Canada, with the province of Québec being the world’s largest producer of organic cranberry. However, cranberry fruit rot (CFR), caused by 12 fungal species, has become a major issue affecting yield. Methods A molecular detection tool was used to det...

Domestic cats (Felis catus), one of the most popular pets, are widespread worldwide. This medium-sized carnivore has well-known negative effects on biodiversity, but there is still a need to better understand the approximate causes of their predation. Based on a citizen science project, we assessed the role of spatiotemporal (i.e., latitude, longit...

Fine root decomposition is a physio-biochemical activity that is critical to the global carbon cycle (C) in forest ecosystems. It is crucial to investigate the mechanisms and factors that control fine root decomposition in forest ecosystems to understand their system-level carbon balance. This process can be influenced by several abiotic (e.g., mea...
