Enhancement of growth, photosynthetic performance and yield by exclusion of ambient UV components in C3 and C4 plants
TL;DR: Experiments indicated a suppressive action of ambient UV-B on growth and photosynthesis; dicots were more sensitive than monocots in this suppression while no great difference in sensitivity was found between C3 and C4 plants.

Preliminary assessment of heavy metals in water, sediment and macrophyte ( Lemna minor ) collected from Anchar Lake, Kashmir, India
TL;DR: In this article, water samples, sediments and free floating macrophytic plant, Lemna minor specimens were collected from five designated sites in Anchar lake (Srinagar, JK Zn 0.89% in water and Cu-26.84% in sediment).
Effect of elevated uv -b irradiation on the nodulation and nitrogen metabolism in sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers.
TL;DR: It is indicated that any further increase in depletion of ozone layer might enhance UV -B stress on crop pl ants thereby depressing the symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes and affecting sustainable food production.

Leaf plasticity to light intensity in Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.): adaptability of a Mediterranean conifer cultivated in the Alps.
TL;DR: The high plasticity of cypress leaves appears to be an advantageous trait in the plant's response to variations in environmental conditions, including global change.

Xulun Zhou,Xulun Zhou,Ang Wang,Erik A. Hobbie,Feifei Zhu,Yuying Qu,Luming Dai,Dejun Li,Xue-Yan Liu,Weixing Zhu,Keisuke Koba,Yinghua Li,Yunting Fang +12 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that mature coniferous trees assimilated nitrate as efficiently as ammonium from soils even at low soil nitrate concentration, in contrast to the results from hydroponic experiments showing that ammonium uptake dominated over nitrate.

Nitrogen - inorganic forms.
TL;DR: In this article, Bremner et al. defined the nonexchangeable NHt as the NHt in soil that cannot be replaced by a neutral potassium salt solution (SSSA, 1987), in contrast to NHt which is extractable at room temperature with such a solution.

Arctic climate impact assessment
TL;DR: The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) as mentioned in this paper is an assessment of the effects of climate change on the Arctic environment and its impacts on the local communities and their livelihoods.

Nitrate reductase assay in intact plant tissues.
TL;DR: The measurement of nitrate reductase activity in intact plant tissue based on reduction of nitrates to nitrite is facilitated by the use of propanol and other organic solvents added to the incubation medium.
