Effects of plant functional group removal on CO2 fluxes and belowground C stocks across contrasting ecosystems by Grau-Andrés, Roger, Wardle, David A., Gundale, Michael J., Foster, Claire N., Kardol, Paul

“…Our results show that the effect of plant functional group diversity on C dynamics can be relatively consistent across contrasting ecosystems that vary greatly in productivity and soil fertility. These findings underline the key role of understory vegetation in forest C cycling, and suggest that global change leading to changes in the relative abundance of both shrubs and mosses could impact on the capacity of boreal forests to store C.…”

Modernity and functionality: relooking changes in Chinese vernacular education in Singapore, 1919-1941 by Ho, Amanda Shi Min

“…This thesis aims to reconstruct the history of modern Chinese schools in Singapore from 1919 to 1941, reexamining what has been covered thus far in both English and Chinese scholarship of the history of Chinese vernacular education in Singapore and synthesising the findings of both strands of scholarship. This thesis also aims to look beyond the study of political time markers to draw out the possible socio-cultural and economic factors that led to these changes.…”

Island area and remoteness shape plant and soil bacterial diversity through land use and biological invasion by Xu, Mingshan, Yang, Anna, Yang, Xiaodong, Cao, Wenting, Zhang, Zengke, Li, Zengyan, Zhang, Yu, Zhang, Huaguo, You, Wenhui, Yan, En-Rong, Wardle, David A.

“…Furthermore, soil bacterial diversity was indirectly promoted by island area through increased plant diversity and decreased soil electrical conductivity, and indirectly reduced by pine forest loss through decreased plant diversity. 4. Our findings highlight that island biogeography theory has relevance to understanding human impacts in the Anthropocene, and that there is a need to more explicitly recognizing how island size and remoteness affect biodiversity not only directly, but also indirectly via their effects on human-induced drivers of biodiversity, such as land use change and biological invasion.…”

Individual differences and relationship contexts in the perception and response to criticism: an emotion and family systems perspective by Neoh, Michelle Jin Yee

“…Parental bonding measures were also found to predict perceptions of parental criticism and spousal criticism, with results suggesting intergeneration continuity in perceptions of parental criticism in the study in Chapter 4. The findings from these studies in the thesis provide evidence and insight from multiple perspectives in illustrating differences in how criticism is perceived and responded to as a function of the interplay of individual factors and relational contexts that the criticism occurs in and how they influence one’s relationships, especially those in the family unit.…”
