THE HIDDEN RISK: CHANGES IN FUNCTIONAL POTENTIALS OF MICROBIAL KEYSTONE TAXA UNDER GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE JEOPARDIZING SOIL CARBON STORAGE IN ALPINE GRASSLANDS

The hidden risk: Changes in functional potentials of microbial keystone taxa under global climate change jeopardizing soil carbon storage in alpine grasslands

Climate change is endangering the soil carbon stock of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), but the limited comprehension regarding the mechanisms that sustain carbon storage under hydrothermal changes increases the uncertainty associated with this finding.Here, we examined the relative abundance of soil microbial keystone taxa a

Seed imbibition and germination of Plathymenia reticulata Benth. (Fabaceae) affected by mercury: possible role of aquaporins

ABSTRACTStudies that evaluate the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of germination within forest species are needed in order to improve our understanding of such processes.Mercury and dithiothreitol are indicated as important tools in studies that assess the activity of aquaporins during imbibition and germination of seeds.To investigate the
