Mechanisms Controlling Day/Night Changes in CAM Tissue Volume, With a Focus on the Kansas Cactus, Opuntia macrorhiza
(University of Kansas, 2017-12-31)Day/night changes in organs volume of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) plants have been observed. The objective of this study is to determine the most important mechanism that controls day/night changes of organ thickness ... -
Temperature responses of microbial soil organic matter decomposition and associated respiration at various scales, ranging from exo-enzymes to populations and communities
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)Knowledge about how temperature will influence microbial decomposition of soil organic matter and resultant CO2 efflux from soils is of importance to understand the global C balance and more accurately project future ... -
