A new study led by Prof. Chen Hongsong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that calcium-rich bedrock can reshape the latitudinal diversity ...

The nearly universal pattern that species richness increases from the poles to the equator (the latitudinal diversity gradient [LDG]) has been of intense interest since its discovery by early ...

These two processes play a pivotal role in the removal of excess nitrogen from ecosystems. This research sheds light on the multi-dimensional spatial patterns of denitrification and anammox along a ...

UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 16:00 GMT / 11:00 ET WEDNESDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2023. Today, species richness peaks in equatorial regions but until now there has been no clear explanation for this. By analysing fossil ...

In an analysis of latitudinally replicated one hectare samples, nine seasonal forests of the temperate and tropical Americas were found to be very similar in biomass, stratification and patters of ...
