Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress.Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation in natural habitats) have rarely been reported, in particular in conjunction with soil amendments with Si.Pedunculate oak (Querc
One-dimensional (1-D) ice flow models are used to construct the age scales at the Dome C and Dome Fuji drilling Bosch Serie 2 MHA133BR0B Built in Electric Double Oven Stainless Steel sites (East Antarctica).The poorly constrained glaciological parameters at each site are recovered by fitting independent age markers identified within each core.We re
IntroductionIn the face of escalating apprehensions surrounding food security, the sustainability of food systems, and food quality, the ingenuity of resource management strategies becomes paramount.A key component within these strategies is the enhancement of chemical fertilizer utilization, an element that bears significant weight on agricultural
Turnera L.includes around 100 American species and two African ones, arranged in nine series.In this paper, the following four series embracing 21 species are revised: Annulares, Capitatae, Microphyllae and Papilliferae.Six new taxa are described: Thatschbachii, Thatschbachii var.miniata, Tmaracasana,and T.princeps of the seriesCapit
Application of lithium (Li) or silicon (Si) wall coating in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has proven to be an effective method to reduce fuel recycling and control impurity level, and also to improve the plasma performance.In 2014, the upper graphite divertor in EAST was Lighters upgraded into a full tungsten (W) one with
