Response of C3 and C4 plants to middle-Holocene climatic variation near the prairie-forest ecotone of Minnesota.
Paleorecords of the middle Holocene (MH) from the North American mid-continent can offer insights into ecological responses to pervasive drought that may accompany future climatic warming. We analyzed MH sediments from West Olaf Lake (WOL) and Steel Lake (SL) in Minnesota to examine the effects of warm/dry climatic conditions on prairie-woodland ecosystems. Mineral composition and carbonate del...
متن کاملGrasshopper Community Response to Climatic Change: Variation Along an Elevational Gradient
BACKGROUND The impacts of climate change on phenological responses of species and communities are well-documented; however, many such studies are correlational and so less effective at assessing the causal links between changes in climate and changes in phenology. Using grasshopper communities found along an elevational gradient, we present an ideal system along the Front Range of Colorado USA ...
متن کاملSalicylic acid production in response to biotic and abiotic stress depends on isochorismate in Nicotiana benthamiana.
Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal involved in the activation of defence responses against abiotic and biotic stress. In tobacco, benzoic acid or glucosyl benzoate were proposed to be precursors of SA. This is in sharp contrast with studies in Arabidopsis thaliana, where SA derives from isochorismate. We have determined the importance of isochorismate for SA biosynthesis in Nicotiana be...
متن کاملArterial Response to Shear Stress Critically Depends on Endothelial TRPV4 Expression
BACKGROUND In blood vessels, the endothelium is a crucial signal transduction interface in control of vascular tone and blood pressure to ensure energy and oxygen supply according to the organs' needs. In response to vasoactive factors and to shear stress elicited by blood flow, the endothelium secretes vasodilating or vasocontracting autacoids, which adjust the contractile state of the smooth ...
متن کاملLong-term Streamflow Response to Climatic Variability in the Loess Plateau, China
The Loess Plateau region in northwestern China has experienced severe water resource shortages due to the combined impacts of climate and land use changes and water resource exploitation during the past decades. This study was designed to examine the impacts of climatic variability on streamflow characteristics of a 12-km watershed near Tianshui City, Gansu Province in northwestern China. Stati...
