Climate-driven C4 plant distributions in China: divergence in C4 taxa
There have been debates on the driving factors of C4 plant expansion, such as PCO2 decline in the late Micocene and warmer climate and precipitation at large-scale modern ecosystems. These disputes are mainly due to the lack of direct evidence and extensive data analysis. Here we use mass flora data to explore the driving factors of C4 distribution and divergent patterns for different C4 taxa a...
متن کاملC4 Plant Productivity and Climate-CO2 Variations in South-Central Texasduring the Late Quaternary
A continuous record of organic carbon δ13C from a buried soil sequence in south-central Texas demonstrates: 1) strong coupling between marine and adjacent continental ecosystems in the late Pleistocene as a result of glacial meltwater entering the Gulf of Mexico and 2) ecosystem decoupling in the Holocene associated with a reduction of meltwater and a shift in global circulation patterns. In th...
متن کاملClimate and the U.S. distribution of C4 grass subfamilies and decarboxylation variants of C4 photosynthesis.
I compared the C(4) grass flora and climatic records for 32 sites in the United States. Consistent with previous studies, I found that the proportion of the grass flora that uses the NADP malic enzyme (NADP-ME) variant of C(4) photosynthesis greatly increases with increasing annual precipitation, while the proportion using the NAD malic enzyme (NAD-ME) variant (and also the less common phosphoe...
متن کاملC4 concentrations and C4 deficiency alleles in systemic lupus erythematosus.
In a study of 66 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 80 controls it was found that the presence of two deficiency (null) alleles of C4 had a significant effect on mean C4 concentrations in serum. In six controls who each had two C4 null alleles the mean C4 concentration in serum was 56% lower than in 43 controls without C4 null alleles; the nadir of the C4 concentration in four...
متن کاملC4 photosynthesis
The question then is how the same neurons convey two different sorts of information. The answer is that motor giants are capable of generating two types of action potentials, small/slow calcium spikes and large/fast sodium spikes, depending on the degree of depolarization it receives. As opposed to the input from the ring giant, the input from the pacemaker is too low to trigger the sodium spik...
