GROUNDWATER DEPTHS AFFECT PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM RESORPTION BUT NOT THEIR UTILIZATION IN A DESERT PHREATOPHYTE IN ITS HYPER-ARID ENVIRONMENT

Groundwater Depths Affect Phosphorus and Potassium Resorption but Not Their Utilization in a Desert Phreatophyte in Its Hyper-Arid Environment

Nutrients are vital for plant subsistence and growth in nutrient-poor and arid ecosystems.The deep roots of phreatophytic plants are necessary to access groundwater, which is the major source of nutrients for phreatophytes in an arid desert ecosystem.However, the mechanisms through which changes in groundwater depth affect nutrient cycles of phreat

Evaluation of three gridded potential evapotranspiration datasets for streamflow simulation in three inland river basins in the arid Hexi Corridor, Northwest China

Study region: This study focuses on three data-limited inland river basins in the arid Hexi Corridor, Northwest China.Study focus: The lack of ground-based observation data for estimating potential evapotranspiration (PET) usually limits the streamflow simulation.This study explored the feasibility of using three gridded PET datasets (GLDAS, GLEAM,

Flagellum Is Responsible for Promoting Effects of Viable Escherichia coli on Calcium Oxalate Crystallization, Crystal Growth, and Crystal Aggregation

Urease-producing bacteria (especially Button Lever Proteus mirabilis) can cause infection kidney stone.However, recent studies have shown that intact viable non-urease-producing bacteria such as Escherichia coli might also promote calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone formation but with unclear mechanism.We thus hypothesized that some relevant bacter
