Effects of temperature gradient on functional fruit traits: an elevation-for-temperature approach
Fruit traits mediate animal-plant interactions and have to a large degree evolved to match the sensory capacities and morphology of their respective...

Temperature Adaptation of Aquatic Bacterial Community Growth Is Faster in Response to Rising than to Falling Temperature
Bacteria are key organisms in energy and nutrient cycles, and predicting the effects of temperature change on bacterial activity is important in...
-
Soil Temperature and Plant Growth
Soil temperature is an important environmental factor affecting plant growth. All soil processes are temperature dependent. The soil thermal regime...
