Human activities in terrestrial landscapes, such as agriculture or urban development, often result in stressors, which can subsequently alter wetland ecosystem properties and plant community development. A complication to our understanding of plant community responses to stressors is the variation in stressor impact across wetlands of different hydrogeomorphic (HGM) subclasses. HGM classificati...

In the present study, the aboveground biomass of the understorey vegetation of boreal coniferous forests was modelled according to the percentage cover. A total of 224 observations from 22 stands in upland forests and 195 observations from 14 different studies in peatland forests were utilized for the present analyses. The relationships between biomass and percentage cover can be used in ecosys...

Several soil-borne microbes such as mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can help plants to deal with biotic and abiotic stresses via plant growth promotion and induced resistance. Such beneficial belowground microbes interact in a bidirectional way via the plant with aboveground insects such as herbivores, their natural enemies and pollinators. The role of these interacti...

The article presents Data on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for aboveground organs three species from Caragana Genus – C. bungei, pygmaea и spinosa, growing in Mountain Altai. It was determined that leaves reproductive contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, pectin substances. is shown substances a plant ar...

The features of accumulation rutin and apigenin-7-O-glucoside their distribution in the aboveground organs Alyssum lenense Adams (Brassicaceae Burnett) were revealed. content photosynthetic pigments was investigated depending on phytocenotic conditions plant growth territory Central Yakutia. data obtained flavonoids are characterized by an uneven over with respect to different cenopopulations. ...

We used a sample of Landsat time-series stacks (LTSS) across the conterminous U.S., calibrated with Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plot-level biomass data to estimate 20+ year trends in live, aboveground biomass. To help overcome some of the limitations associated with optical remote sensing of biomass stocks, we employed a pixel-level curve-fitting algorithm to leverage the information co...

In this follow-on study on aboveground biomass of shrubs and short-stature trees, we provide plant component (herein ‘AGB’) as well AGB allometric models for five common boreal shrub four tree genera/species. The analyzed components consist stem, branch, leaf organs. We found similar ratios to total stems, branches, leaves amongst deciduous genera/species across the southern Northwest Territori...

A willing seller and buyer voluntarily agree upon the price for exchange of X dollars one Y widget. The trade satisfies some their human wants. Both parties are better off having made profitable or they would not have transacted. Once widget becomes a life-saving organ, like kidney, all bets according to present prohibition on trades between two seeking themselves through an exchange. We conten...

Resource pulses are occasional events of ephemeral resource superabundance that occur in many ecosystems. Aboveground consumers in diverse communities often respond strongly to resource pulses, but few studies have investigated the belowground consequences of resource pulses in natural ecosystems. This study shows that resource pulses of 17-year periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) directly inc...

Interest in the use of silver as a component plant protection products and growth regulators appeared relatively recently with development methods for effective stabilization colloidal systems containing nanoparticles this metal. In present work, we studied effect foliar treatments aqueous dispersions stabilized by polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride an average diameter 6 ± 1 nm zeta-pote...
