Whether global latitudinal diversity gradients exist in rocky intertidal ?-diversity and across functional groups remains unknown. Using literature data from 433 sites, we investigated patterns 155° of latitude, whether local-scale or global-scale structuring processes control ?-diversity. We, furthermore, how the relative composition changes with latitude. ?-Diversity differed among hemisphere...

The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond environmental changes at the species level, but because bryophyte are relatively difficult identify, they often lumped into one functional group. Consequently, function remains poorly resolved. Here, we explore how higher resolution di...

Functionalized membranes have high potential value in a broad range of practical applications, and the functional groups at membrane edge play vital role permeability membranes. Here, based on an edge-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) model, we theoretically report that high-frequency terahertz stimulation frequency near 44.0 THz can significantly enhance water by nearly five times. Its mechan...
