Background: Pokkali is a versatile rice- fish system of cultivation, producing naturally organic rice along the waterlogged coastal regions Kerala. The weed flora fields different from other ecosystems. Diverse appears in low saline phase, when cultivated, but they dry up and decompose high phase. With time, significant deviations have been reported various climatic parameters as result, spectr...

C(4) photosynthesis has a number of distinct properties that enable the capture of CO(2) and its concentration in the vicinity of Rubisco, so as to reduce the oxygenase activity of Rubisco, and hence the rate of photorespiration. The aim of this review is to discuss the properties of this CO(2)-concentrating mechanism, and thus to indicate the minimum requirements of any genetically-engineered ...

Larra bicolor F. (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) is a specialist parasitoid of Scapteriscus (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) mole crickets, attacking adults and medium to large nymphs of the hosts. Adult wasps derive energy from plant nectars. In replicated trials in pastures in northern Florida, many more wasps fed on nectar of Spermacoce verticillata F. (Rubiaceae), a non-native plant, than on nectar ...

恢复沉水植被是湖泊生态修复工程中的关键环节,明确沉水植物生长和锚定的环境条件是恢复沉水植被的重要前提。本研究以湖泊生态修复常用的沉水植物黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)为例,结合文献分析、控制实验和野外调查3种方法研究了其生长和锚定的沉积物条件需求。结果表明,黑藻在沉积物有机质含量为0.16%~38.36%、密度为1.08~2.06 g/cm3、含水率为19.80%~78.14%的范围内能正常生长,在沉积物有机质含量为0.64%~21.84%、密度为1.09~2.06 g/cm3、含水率为25.32%~72.06%的范围内适宜生长;在沉积物有机质含量为0.29%~18.30%、密度为1.16~2.06 g/cm3、含水率为19.80%~72.17%的范围内,黑藻植株能够稳定定植。本研究结果可为恢复黑藻...

Combined use of in situ passivation and macrophytes is a valuable technology that exerts remarkable effects on aquatic systems. However, the effectiveness ecological functions this combined for macrophytes-dominated eutrophic (MDE) lakes with organophosphorus-controlled internal phosphorus (P) loading were poorly understood. In study, simulation experiments performed to study combination La-mod...
