Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes, which also contains non–lignin-degrading brown rot and ectomycorrhizal species. Comparative analyses of 31 fungal...

The amounts of residual dichlobenil (2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile)
in water and hydrosoil were compared periodically following application
of the wettable powder and granular formulations of the
herbicide to separate ponds at ten pounds of active ingredient per
surface acre {0.6 ppmw (parts per million by weight) }. Dichlobenil
was measured by electroncapture...
Rapamycin was found to increase (11% to 16%) the lifespan of male and female C57BL/6J mice most likely by reducing the increase in the hazard for mortality (i.e., the rate of aging) term in the Gompertz mortality analysis. To identify the pathways that could be responsible for rapamycin's longevity effect,...
Rapamycin (Rapa) and dietary restriction (DR) have consistently
been shown to increase lifespan. To investigate whether Rapa
and DR affect similar pathways in mice, we compared the effects
of feeding mice ad libitum (AL), Rapa, DR, or a combination of
Rapa and DR (Rapa + DR) on the transcriptome and...
Nine experiments were conducted during 1964 and 1965 to study
the methods of reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed
(Potamogeton pectinatus) in irrigation systems.
Frequent treatments of sago pondweed foliage with aromatic
solvent greatly reduced the number of tubers in the substratum of
an irrigation canal. However, complete...
Climate-driven changes in biotic interactions can profoundly alter ecological communities, particularly when they impact foundation species. In marine systems, changes in herbivory and the consequent loss of dominant habitat forming species can result in dramatic community phase shifts, such as from coral to macroalgal dominance when tropical fish herbivory decreases,...

As managers of agricultural and natural resources are confronted with uncertainties in global change impacts, the complexities associated with the interconnected cycling of nitrogen, carbon, and water present daunting management challenges. Existing models provide detailed information on specific sub-systems (e.g., land, air, water, and economics). An increasing awareness of the...
