inhibitory mechanisms of acacia mearnsii extracts on the growth of microcystis aeruginosa.our previous work revealed that acacia mearnsii extract can inhibit the growth of microcystis aeruginosa, the common species forming toxic cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic freshwater. in the present study, we demonstrated that this plant extract can significantly increase cell membrane permeability and ca²⁺/mg²⁺-atpase activity on the membrane. long-term exposure to concentrations of 20 ppm a. mearnsii extract led to algal cell membrane leakage or even lysis. comparison of expression of three ...201525812094
transpiration and water-use efficiency in mixed-species forests versus monocultures: effects of tree size, stand density and season.mixtures can be more productive than monocultures and may therefore use more water, which may make them more susceptible to droughts. the species interactions that influence growth, transpiration and water-use efficiency (wue, tree growth per unit transpiration) within a given mixture vary with intra- and inter-annual climatic variability, stand density and tree size, but these effects remain poorly quantified. these relationships were examined in mixtures and monocultures of eucalyptus globulus ...201525732385
