HOW TO RESTORE INVERTEBRATE DIVERSITY OF DEGRADED HEATHLANDS? A CASE STUDY ON THE REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE FIELD CRICKET GRYLLUS CAMPESTRIS (L.)

How to Restore Invertebrate Diversity of Degraded Heathlands? A Case Study on the Reproductive Performance of the Field Cricket Gryllus campestris (L.)

BackgroundNitrogen (NOx, NHy) and acidifying (NOx, NHy, SOx) deposition has reduced the biodiversity of European dry heathlands.Restoration efforts such as sod-cutting (removal of vegetation, litter and humus layer) often shifted these systems from N to P limitation and science toy have had limited success in restoring the invertebrate community.Po

Research on dust distribution law and optimization of ventilation and dust reduction on fully mechanized heading face

In order to determine influence of ventilation mode on dust distribution on fully mechanized heading face and explore dust reduction effect under different ventilation modes, the 209 fully mechanized heading face of Longde Coal Mine was taken as research object, and the software of FLUENT was used to simulate distribution of dust in the roadway and

Variation in Odour Profiles of Cauliflower, Curly Kale and Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L.) Cultivars Is Affected More by Genotype Rather than Herbivore Feeding

Volatile plant compounds are essential for host plant selection by herbivores and particularly important for the behaviour of parasitoids seeking larvae in which to lay eggs.Headspace extracts were collected from intact plants of four Brassica oleracea genotypes, as well as from plants damaged by larvae of Mamestra brassicae or Pieris rapae.In tota
