Wood-derived biochar as thick electrodes for high-rate performance supercapacitors

Bing Yan et al.

Summary: Developing commercial-level high active mass-loading electrodes is crucial for the practical application of supercapacitors. This study presents a self-standing biochar electrode with high active mass-loading, which exhibits excellent capacitive performance due to its conductive carbon skeleton, abundant N/O dopant, and 3D porous structure. The electrode shows promising potential for practical application, as demonstrated by its ability to power various electronic devices.

Species and functional plant diversity enhance ecosystem functions in the central Monte desert

Jimena E. Chaves et al.

Summary: The diversity of plant communities influences ecosystem processes by increasing decomposition, soil organic matter, and nutrient availability at the surface, and decreasing water losses to the subsoil and plant water use efficiency. Both species diversity and functional diversity explain ecosystem processes of water regulation and material cycling, with limited redundancy in arid areas.

Contribution of Agro-Environmental Factors to Yield and Plant Diversity of Olive Grove Ecosystems (Olea europaea L.) in the Mediterranean Landscape

Alexandra D. Solomou et al.

Summary: The study found that yields of organic olive groves can be increased by increasing manure application and earthworm density, while yields of conventional olive groves can be increased by increasing soil organic matter and application of inorganic fertilizer N. Additionally, herbaceous plant species richness increases with various factors, highlighting the importance of maintaining ecological balance and sustainable agriculture.

Stoichiometric traits (N:P) of understory plants contribute to reductions in plant diversity following long-term nitrogen addition in subtropical forest

Jianping Wu et al.

Summary: The study shows that long-term nitrogen addition decreases understory plant diversity in a subtropical forest. Sensitive plants change their N:P stoichiometry with nitrogen addition and have a higher risk of mortality, while resistant plants maintain a stable N:P stoichiometry, contributing to their survival. The results suggest that plant N:P stoichiometry plays a crucial role in understory plant performance in response to environmental changes in nitrogen levels.

A matter of time: Recovery of plant species diversity in wild plant communities at declining nitrogen deposition

Frank Berendse et al.

Summary: A 60-year experiment in the Netherlands showed that increasing and declining nitrogen deposition had negative and positive effects on plant species diversity, respectively. The recovery of plant species diversity was observed with declining nitrogen deposition, but the former species composition was not fully restored. Time was found to be a crucial factor for the recovery of diverse, flowering meadows.

Nutrient enrichment diminishes plant diversity and density, and alters long-term ecological trajectories, in a biodiverse forest restoration

Matthew Daws et al.

Summary: Nutrient enrichment can negatively impact natural plant communities, particularly in ecosystems adapted to low nutrient soils. This study found that zero phosphorus treatment resulted in higher native species richness and density, while phosphorus fertilization hindered the development of diverse plant communities in restored forests. Long-term experiments are crucial for understanding forest succession dynamics and implications for restoration practices.
