2011-01-25Emergy and Eco-exergy Based Self-organization of four Artificial Forests in Subtropical ChinaEcosystems are self-organization systems,with opening and non-linear development characteristics. There is a long history of theory study on self-organization of ecosystems with great advances gotten from function and structure aspects separately,but case study is still lacking. The results showed that the initial conditions could have a permane... Ecosystems are self-organization systems, with opening and non-linear development characteristics. There is a long history of theory study on self-organization of ecosystems with great advances gotten from function and structure aspects separately, but case study is still lacking. The self-organization efficiency rules need to be discovered, bes...Read More -
2011-01-17How Nitrogen Deposition Affects Tropical Forest Plant DiversityIn 2010,Dr. ,Global Change Biology,2010,16:2688–2700).On the base of this finding,their further study in Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve for six years showed that responses of plant diversity in reforested forests varied with different land-use history. It also has great significance for valuing changes of forest biodiversity under the background ... In 2010, Dr. LU Xiankai, Prof. MO Jiangming and his colleagues from SCBG found that elevated N deposition may decrease plant diversity of “N-rich” forests (see Lu et al., Global Change Biology, 2010, 16: 2688–2700). On the base of this finding, their further study in Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve for six years showed that responses of plant di...Read More -
2010-12-24Gibberellins (GAs) modulate jasmonate (JA) signalingGibberellins(GAs)modulate jasmonate(JA)signaling,which is essential for stress response and development of plants. A great progress achieved on this field recently. Because DELLAs serve as central regulators that mediate the crosstalk of various phytohormones,our mode lalso suggests a candidate mechanism by which JA signaling may be fine-tuned b... Gibberellins (GAs) modulate jasmonate (JA) signaling, which is essential for stress response and development of plants. However, the molecular details of such phytohormone interaction remain largely unknown.Read More
