科学领域:
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 植物学 植物学
背景情况:
- 农业和化石燃料燃烧等人类活动在全球范围内显著增加了活性排放量.
- 之前的研究将沉积与植物多样性丧失联系在一起,主要是在地方范围内.
- 在更大的空间尺度上,沉积对植物多样性的影响仍然在很大程度上未被探索.
研究的目的:
- 研究大气沉积对植物生物多样性的影响的规模依赖性.
- 确定沉积是否影响当地,地点和区域规模的植物物种丰富性.
- 确定受沉积影响的植物物种,并评估潜在的保护影响.
主要方法:
- 利用了来自西北欧洲9个国家的153个地点的765个地块的草原植物社区数据.
- 在多个空间尺度 (地块,地点,地区) 上分析了大气沉积水平和植物物种丰富度之间的关系.
- 量化了个体物种存在与增加沉积水平的联系.
主要成果:
- 高大气沉积与在地块,地点和区域尺度上减少的植物物种丰富度相关.
- 很大一部分植物物种 (39%) 呈现出与在更大尺度上增加沉积的负相关性.

The Nitrogen Cycle
51.8K
Nitrogen atoms, present in all proteins and DNA, are recycled between abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. However, the primary form of nitrogen on Earth is nitrogen gas, which cannot be used by most animals and plants. Thus, nitrogen gas must first be converted into a usable form by nitrogen-fixing bacteria before it can be cycled through other living organisms. The use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and animal waste products in human agriculture has greatly influenced the...

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism
7.9K
Nitrogen is a very important element for life because it is a major constituent of proteins and nucleic acids. It is a macronutrient, and in nature, it is recycled from organic compounds and stored in the form of ammonia, ammonium ions, nitrate, nitrite, or nitrogen gas by many metabolic processes. Many of these metabolic processes are carried out only by prokaryotes.
The largest pool of nitrogen available in the terrestrial ecosystem is gaseous nitrogen (N2) from the air, but this...

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition
35.1K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Threats to Biodiversity
22.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

What is Biodiversity?
27.3K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition
18.7K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...
