Leaf-cutter ant nests are biogeochemical hot spots where ants live and import vegetation to grow fungus. Metabolic activity and (in wet tropical forests) soil gas flux to the nest may result in high ...
A new paper published in the Ecological Society of America’s journal Ecological Monographs addresses some of these questions. The findings reveal that the leaf microbiomes of sugar maple trees vary ...
American Journal of Botany, Vol. 88, No. 4 (Apr., 2001), pp. 634-645 (12 pages) This study assessed the levels of damage by leaf pathogens and their variability in terms of host species, space (four ...
A Japanese plant species with a peculiar leaf pattern recently revealed unexpected insight into how almost all plants control their leaf arrangement. Leaves can be enjoyed for their shade, autumn ...
The study, published in Nature, combines ground, satellite and modelling data to assess how close the leaves in tropical forests around the world are to reaching their heat limits. The research finds ...
Most leaves are green due to the pigment chlorophyll, but other colours, such as oranges, reds and blues, may also be present due to less efficient photosynthetic pigments like anthocyanins, carotenes ...
Leaf microbiomes of sugar maple trees vary across the species' range, changing in accordance with the types of trees in the surrounding 'neighborhood.' Forest leaves are teeming with bacterial life -- ...
