Waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW), approximately 4500 years old, from the prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement at Ljubljansko barje, Slovenia, was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We propose a simplified protocol for sample preparation and SEM technique study of highly degraded WAW Quercus, Faxinus, Acer, Salix Populus, representing taxa with different properties. present adv...

Functional traits offer generalizability to the prediction of ecosystem processes such as production, and community-weighted mean trait values are increasingly used for predictions. However, underlying causal direction between often indirect sometimes even tenuous. In this study, we aimed uncover mechanisms traits, habitat adaptation canopy productivity. We production data estimated from leaf l...

The formation of aerenchyma in adventitious roots is one the most crucial adaptive traits for waterlogging tolerance plants. Pasture grasses, like other crops, can be affected by waterlogging, and there scope to improve through breeding. In this study, two summer-active cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivars, Lazuly Porto, tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum Schreb., syn. Festuca arundinacea ...

Extended waterlogging (WL) conditions in heavily manured soils can change soil phosphorus (P) dynamics. We assessed the effects of moisture regimes (field capacity (FC) and WL) P rates on (i) dry matter (DM) yield offtake ryegrass, (ii) changes Fe3+, Fe2+, P, (iii) risk leaching. The treatments were tested a four-month greenhouse experiment using intact columns annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflor...

This review provides information on the advances made leading to an understanding of micromorphological patterns produced during microbial degradation lignified cell walls buried and waterlogged archaeological woods. knowledge not only serves as important diagnostic signature for identifying type(s) attacks present in such woods but also aids development targeted methods more effective preserva...
