TL;DR: While energy conversion is the main function of respiration inanimals, respiration has several other functions in plants, among them interactions with photosynthesis such as photorespiration and the production of carbon skeletons for the many compounds synthesized in plants.

TL;DR: The Montreal Protocol and its Amendments have been highly effective in protecting the stratospheric ozone layer, preventing global increases in solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 280-315 nm) at Earth's surface, and reducing global warming as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, variations in stable carbon isotopes (δ 13 C) with growth water availability were measured in three moss species on subantarctic Macquarie Island.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared data calculated from two different methodologies for estimating mesophyll conductance: variable J and the curve-fitting method, and found that the curvefitting method was on average 4 times higher than the variable J method, a large enough difference to account for the scale of differences previously shown between the biochemical and diffusional limitations to photosynthesis.

TL;DR: Paleoecological and paleoclimate discoveries derived from biological archives, and integration with existing data from other paleocimate data sources, will significantly expand our understanding of past, present, and future ecological change, alongside climate change, in a unique, globally significant region as mentioned in this paper .
