2022-05-12SCBG made progress in the regulation of the flowering of PaphiopedilumApical bract that fails to develop further once the dominant flower is opened .Were able to explore the whole development process of P . callosum buds , from vegetative to reproductive growth ( Fig .Study provides insight into mechanisms regulating flower development of P .Work has been published online in Horticulture Research ( if = 6.793 ) , ... Paphiopedilum orchids have a high ornamental value. However, studies on flower development regulation and the molecular mechanism behind are lacking. Most popular species of Paphiopedilum sold on the market will display one flower. All such one-flowered species have an additional flower bud in the apical bract that fails to develop further once ...Read More -
2022-05-06Can evolutionary history predict plant plastic responses to climate change?Plant plastic responses are critical to the adaptation and survival of species under climate change , but whether they are constrained by evolutionary history ( phylogeny ) is largely unclear .Plant leaf traits are key in determining plants ’ performance in different environments , and if these traits and their plasticity are phylogenetically d...Read More

2022-04-29New progress on phylogenomic study of FagaceaYet to be sufficiently described across Fagaceae .Phylogenetic relationships and divergence time estimation of Fagaceae .Read More
Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically since the early Eocene due to global climate change. Central to the floristic replacement with significant ecological consequence are the roughly 900 species currently recognized within Fagaceae (oak, beech, chestnut, stone oak). Fossils of modern Fagaceae are well represented in the Northern ... -
2022-04-29The effect of nature exposure, nature connectedness on mental well-being and ill-being in a general Chinese populationDisease burden .Thus , pro-mental health infrastructure and intervention are imperative .Contacts ) could reduce the incidence of mental illness and enhance mental well-being .Relationship is largely unknown .Connectedness is recommended to achieve the related psychological benefits . The lifetime prevalence of various mental disorders among Chinese population has reached up to 16.6%. The burden of mental disorders ranked the second in the overall disease burden. Thus, pro-mental health infrastructure and intervention are imperative. A large body of evidence shows that greenspace exposure (the amount of nature contacts) could...Read More

2022-04-20SCBG has made a new progress in the mechanism of soil organic carbon accumulation under the changes in precipitation patternsCenter for Ecology and Environmental Science of South China Botanical Garden , Chinese Academy of Sciences , studied the changes of precipitation patterns on.Rainfall in the wet season ( WW ) and a delay of the wet season into autumn ( DW ) .The platform of Xiaoliang Research Station of Tropical Coastal Ecosystems , Chinese Academy of Sciences ....Read More
Under the guidance of the professor Faming Wang, a master student at the Center for Ecology and Environmental Science of South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, studied the changes of precipitation patterns on soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation. The study has been recently published in the journal Plant and Soil. Jing... -
2022-04-18Warming drives sustained plant phosphorus demand in a humid tropical forestPhosphorus ( P ) is often one of the most limiting nutrients in highly weathered soils of humid tropical forests and may regulate the responses of carbon ( C ) feedback to climate warming .Equivalent to a temperature change of 2.1 ° C . Results showed that warming increased P content and decreased foliar N : P . Increased plant P content was su... Phosphorus (P) is often one of the most limiting nutrients in highly weathered soils of humid tropical forests and may regulate the responses of carbon (C) feedback to climate warming. However, the response of P to warming at the ecosystem level in tropical forests is not well understood because previous studies have not comprehensively assessed...Read More -
2022-04-15Environmental remediation promotes the restoration of biodiversity in the Shenzhen Bay EstuaryEight rivers , including the Fengtang River , flow into Shenzhen Bay . Because of population growth , urbanization , beach reclamation , tidal flat reclamation , and sewage discharge in the early development of Shenzhen City .And the Shenzhen Bay ecological restoration research subject which is funded by the Shenzhen Government . This research s... The natural resources of the South China coastal zone are as diverse as its landscape. Abundant surface runoff is enriching to coastal biodiversity. As a sea-land transit area, the interactions between multiple factors in the surrounding environment make the area more sensitive to natural changes and human activities. Shenzhen Bay is one of the ...Read More
