Abstract Taxonomy of Basidiodendron caesiocinereum complex is revised based on morphological and molecular methods (with the use nc LSU rDNA, ITS TEF1 regions). The basidiospore ornamentation justified as a key character for species recognition in group. As redefined here, B. an angiosperm-dwelling with smooth basidiospores. Bourdotia cinerella var. trachyspora are proved to represent separate ...

Harmful algal blooms threaten the water quality of many eutrophic and hypertrophic lakes and cause severe ecological and economic damage worldwide. Dense blooms often deplete the dissolved CO2 concentration and raise pH. Yet, quantitative prediction of the feedbacks between phytoplankton growth, CO2 drawdown and the inorganic carbon chemistry of aquatic ecosystems has received surprisingly litt...

The purpose of this study is to determine whether and how the use video-based learning resources by architecture students contributes development high-order cognitive abilities in light Bloom’s revised taxonomy, as well satisfied these are with integration into their coursework. Convenience sampling was used recruit participants who completed a two-phase questionnaire (n = 52) focus-group inter...

This study aims at analyzing a recent copy of the Lebanese mathematics national exams in terms precision action verbs as well classification free-response items according to Porter’s rubric related language associated with performance outcomes and two-dimensional Bloom Revised Taxonomy. Results showed that were classified different levels. The levels all tackled exam which shows variety questio...

We propose a definition for identification of blooms and use this definition to investigate the underlying mechanisms of summer blooms and their link to nutrient enrichment. Blooms were defined as chlorophyll a observations deviating significantly from a normal seasonal cycle; the frequency and magnitude of these deviating observations characterized bloom frequency and intensity. The definition...

Long-term information of phytoplankton bloom is critical for assessing the processes driving blooms in lakes. A three-decade survey of the phytoplankton blooms was completed for Erhai Lake from 1987 to 2016 with Landsat imagery. A modified three-band model using Landsat broad bands is developed by comparing reflectance data from Landsat imagery to two field datasets. The model is applied to the...

During the last two decades, large-scale high biomass algal blooms of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu have occurred frequently in the East China Sea (ECS). The role of increasing nutrient concentrations in driving those blooms is well-established, but the source population that initiates them is poorly understood. We hypothesized that the front of Taiwan Warm Current (TWC) may se...
