Investigation on the effect of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) on biomass accumulation and distribution in different parts of rice plant treated with 200 mumol.mol-1 CO2 elevation under field condition showed that the dry matter accumulated from transplanting to 20th day after heading and the total biomass increased significantly, while the dry mater accumulated from 20th day after heading to maturity was significantly depressed under FACE treatment. The enhancement of both leaf area index (LAI) and net assimilation rate (NAR) under FACE treatment resulted in the increase of dry matter accumulated from transplanting to heading, while the dominant reason for the increase of dry matter accumulated during 20 days after heading was the slowed decline of LAI. The decline of dry matter accumulated from 20th day to maturity was mainly caused by the decrease of NAR. The percentage of dry matter distributed in stem and sheath increased under FACE treatment, while that in leaf decreased, and that in panicle showed no significant change. The content (%) and amount of soluble sugar and starch in stem and sheath at heading was significantly elevated under FACE. The grain yield of rice under FACE treatment could be significantly improved by raising biomass.

Freshwater waterways, and species that depend on them, are threatened by urbanisation and the consequences of the urban stream syndrome. In south-east Queensland, Australia, little is known about the impacts of the urban stream syndrome on the platypus (), meaning that populations cannot be adequately managed by conservation practitioners. The aim of this study was to determine how habitat and environmental variables, related to the urban stream syndrome, influenced platypus distribution across this region.

Background: Digestive disorders are one of the main health problems in suckling piglets. The correct visual identification of feces in suckling piglets is an important tool for the diagnosis of enteric diseases. The aim of the present observational study was to analyze different physicochemical parameters of the feces of suckling piglets aged 0 to 21 days: visual appearance (color and consistency), fecal dry matter (FDM) content and pH.

One of the major problem in the cultivation of sugar beets is continuous cropping obstacle in China. In order to evaluate the effects of continuous cropping year on the photosynthetic performance, dry matter accumulation, and distribution of sugar beet, this study was conducted in the 2020-2021 crop season at the Agriculture and Forestry Sciences of Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia. A split plot system arrangement with three replications was set up to carry out the field testing.
