The comparative efficiency of a brown algal-derived biostimulant extract (AMPEP), with and without supplemented PGRs: the induction of direct, axis shoots as applied to the propaga... by Majid Majahar Ali, Mohd Zaidey Sani, Kim Keon Hi, Suhaimi Md. Yasir, Alan T. Critchley, Anicia Q. Hurtado

“…K. alvarezii tambalang brown and green and K. striatus sacol green) were used in the present study to optimize the use of Ascophyllum (Acadian) marine plant extract powder (AMPEP) as a culture medium ingredient acting as a biostimulant, applied with, and without, the addition of terrestrial plant growth regulators (PGRs). This was undertaken in order to develop management tools and best practice recommendations for the mass production of new plantlets (seedlings) for industrial, nursery, and out-planting purposes in eastern Malaysia, Sabah, and Peninsular Malaysia (i.e., Langkawi, Kedah and Batu Maung, Penang). …”

Modelled forest ecosystem carbon–nitrogen dynamics with integrated mycorrhizal processes under elevated CO₂ by M. A. Thurner, M. A. Thurner, M. A. Thurner, M. A. Thurner, S. Caldararu, S. Caldararu, J. Engel, A. Rammig, S. Zaehle, S. Zaehle

“…<p>Almost 95 % of all terrestrial plant species form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi that mediate plant–soil interactions: mycorrhizae facilitate plant nitrogen (N) acquisition and are, therefore, vital for plant growth, but they also build a pathway for plant-assimilated carbon (C) into the rhizosphere. …”

Distinct leaf functional traits of Tamarix chinensis at different habitats in the hinterland of the Taklimakan desert by Mawlida Tayir, Mawlida Tayir, Yue Dai, Yue Dai, Yue Dai, Qingdong Shi, Qingdong Shi, Anwar Abdureyim, Anwar Abdureyim, Flora Erkin, Flora Erkin, Wanyuan Huang, Wanyuan Huang

“…T. chinensis had relative higher LWC couple with lower δ13C, and exhibiting lower C, N, P in leaves and their stoichiometric ratios, and also lower SLA which compared with other terrestrial plant. Such coordinations suggesting that T. chinensis develops a suite of trait combinations mainly tends to more conservative to response local habitats in Daliyabuyi, which is contribute to understand desert plant resource acquisition and utilization mechanisms in extremely arid and barren environments.…”

Optimizing nursery diets for post‐metamorphic stage black sea bass: Growth performance, body composition, and feed utilization on open‐formulated and commercial starter diets by Md Shah Alam, Wade O. Watanabe, Patrick M. Carroll, Jennifer E. Gabel

“…Higher feed consumption and growth of fish fed the UNCW‐formulated diets were attributed to a more optimal combination of marine (fish, squid, and krill meals), terrestrial plant (soybean meal) protein sources, and the addition of chemo‐attractants, which provided both higher nutritional quality and palatability. …”
