2020-12-25Study: Intraspecific variation of phenological shifts to climate warmingAuthor: SONG Zhuqiu E-mail: songzhuqiu@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13634 Online time: 2020-7-16 The global temperature has averagely increased by about 0.85°C since the late 19th century, and is projected to likely exceed 1.5°C in the end of the 21st century. The timing of seasonal biological activity such as flowering (i.e. phenology) is a sensitive indicator of the ecological effects of global climate warming. With climate warming, spr...Read More

2020-12-15Research progress on Paphiopedilum armeniacum seed coat lignin biosynthesisAuthor: FANG Lin E-mail: linfang@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-020-06931-1 Online time: 29 July 2020 Paphiopedilum is an important genus of the orchid family Orchidaceae and has high horticultural value. The wild populations are under threat of extinction because of overcollection and habitat destruction. Mature seeds of most Paphiopedilum species are difficult to germinate, which severely restricts their germplasm conservation and commercial p...Read More

2020-11-30Warming leads to more closed nitrogen cycling in nitrogen-rich tropical forestsAuthor: LIE Zhiyang E-mail: liezhiyang@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15432 Online time: 2020-11-3 Nitrogen (N) is a key element regulating forest productivity and feedback to climate warming. Sustained climate warming may have profound effects on N cycling in N-rich tropical forests. However, large uncertainty exists regarding how warming affects the integrated N dynamic in tropical forests, especially on the scale of long-term warming.Read More

2020-10-29Caryopteris alternifolia, a distinct new plant species was found in Chaozhou, Guangdong ProvinceAuthor: CHEN Yousheng E-mail: yschen@scbg.ac.cn Paper link: https://www.mapress.com/j/pt/article/view/phytotaxa.461.1.8 Online time: 2020年9月 In April 2019, researchers from South China Botanical Garden (SCBG) of Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted an investigation in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and found a strange plant. Since there was no flowering at that time, it was impossible to determine which family member it belongs to. Researchers introduced several plants to SCBG for cu...Read More
