Anatomical and hydraulic traits can indirectly and directly measure the transport capacity of a root, respectively. Exploring variation in root traits along topological orders within species is key to ...

The existence of trait coordination in roots and leaves has recently been debated, with studies reaching opposing conclusions. Here, we assessed trait coordination across twelve boreal tree species.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, around 63,300 Australians aged over 16 – 0.3% of the overall population – ...

Anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment is widely expected to suppress symbiotic nitrogen fixation in terrestrial ecosystems. Nevertheless, observed symbiotic nitrogen fixation responses remain incompletely ...

Guangzhou, China: A research team led by Prof. Shi-Xiao Luo from the South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has published new findings on geographic variations in floral traits and ...

Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up DNA ...
