Features of the biomorphological and geographic structure of segetal floras in a number of regions in Russia by O. G. Baranova, A. S. Tretyakova, N. N. Luneva, A. A. Zverev, P. V. Kondratkov, T. A. Terekhina, G. R. Khasanova, S. M. Yamalov, M. V. Lebedeva, N. A. Bagrikova

“…Biomorphological groups in the compared segetal floras contained approximately equal ratios of therophytes and hemicryptophytes, monocarpic and polycarpic herbaceous plants. Meanwhile, the indigenous fraction manifested a higher share of polycarpic herbs (about 60–70%), while monocarpic herbs predominated in the alien fraction (80–90%). …”

Assessing recovery time of ecosystems in China: insights into flash drought impacts on gross primary productivity by M. Lu, M. Lu, H. Sun, H. Sun, H. Sun, Y. Yang, J. Xue, H. Ling, H. Zhang, W. Zhang

“…Temperature exhibits a non-monotonic relationship with recovery time, where both excessively cold and hot conditions lead to longer recovery periods. Herbaceous vegetation recovers more rapidly than woody forests, with deciduous broadleaf forests demonstrating the shortest recovery time. …”

Etude préliminaire de l'influence des disponibilités alimentaires et des activités humaines sur l’utilisation spatiale de l’habitat par les chimpanzés et les bonobos by Victor Narat, Marie Cibot, Jean Christophe Bokika Ngawolo, Richard Dumez, Sabrina Krief

“…Human activities in the home range of bonobos are more diversified, with several traditional activities (culture, gathering, hunting with nylon snares) and the encounter rates of human signs is higher (2,3 signs/km, 48 km) than in Uganda (1,84 signs/km, 74,5 km)In the future, increased habituation, detailed habitat characterization including spatial and phenological monitoring of Ape food, especially terrestrial herbaceous vegetation and interviews of a larger sample of local persons will allow performing a detailed spatio-temporal analysis of habitat use by bonobos and chimpanzees.Such studies may provide a better understanding of the adaptability of these species and their representation by local human communities to propose appropriate conservation strategies including improvement of local people well-being and wealth.…”

Subgenome asymmetry of gibberellins-related genes plays important roles in regulating rapid growth of bamboos by Ling Mao, Cen Guo, Liang-Zhong Niu, Yu-Jiao Wang, Guihua Jin, Yi-Zhou Yang, Ke-Cheng Qian, Yang Yang, Xuemei Zhang, Peng-Fei Ma, De-Zhu Li, Zhen-Hua Guo

“…In particular, these bamboos include two large-sized and a small-sized woody species, compared with a diploid herbaceous species. Our results showed that gibberellin A1 was important for the rapid shoot growth of the world's largest bamboo, Dendrocalamus sinicus, and indicated that two gibberellins (GAs)-related genes, KAO and SLRL1, were key to the rapid shoot growth and culm size in woody bamboos. …”
