Nutrients strengthen link between precipitation and plant growth
News from A new study published in PNAS, led by the United States Department of Agriculture and involving several researchers from the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Leipzig University, investigated how the relationship between mean annual precipitation (MAP) and grassland biomass changes when one or more nutrients are added.
Nutrients change the effect of precipitation on plant growth
A new study published in the journal PNAS examines how the relationship between mean annual precipitation and grassland biomass changes with the addition of one or more nutrients.
Experiment in Leipzig’s floodplain forest: Using tree mortality to support oak regeneration
The pedunculate oaks typical of Leipzig's floodplain forest and other German oak forests are struggling to regenerate in the understorey due to a lack of light.
Frequent sex is a factor for high relationship satisfaction
" Can a marriage without sex be a happy one? " asked an article in the New York Times Magazine last year.
The brain learns to filter out distracting stimuli over time
The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli - such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists at Leipzig University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have used electroencephalography (EEG) to show that early visual processing in humans changes with repeated exposure. Their joint study has just been published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
How disturbed signaling pathways could promote epileptic seizures
New insights into dopamine in focal cortical dysplasia: For the first time, a research team in Bonn is systematically investigating the role of the dopamine system in a common form of therapy-resistant epilepsy.
Bonobos react negatively to inequity
Bonobos refuse to participate when faced with unequal rewards, reinforcing the highly contentious debate about inequity aversion in animals. To the point.
Experiment in the riparian forest: tree mortality can be used for oak regeneration
The English oaks typical of the Leipzig riparian forest and other German oak forests can hardly rejuvenate due to a lack of light in the undergrowth.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: What protects the one - and not the other?
Researchers at the MPI of Biochemistry have used spatial Deep Visual Proteomics workflow to reveal why some patients with the hereditary disease alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency remain healthy despite the genetic defect.
Over time, the brain learns to block out disturbing stimuli
The human brain can learn through experience to block out disturbing and distracting stimuli, such as a glaring billboard on the side of the road or a flashing banner on the internet. Researchers at Leipzig University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have discovered with the help of brain wave measurements (EEG) that early visual processing in humans changes through repeated experience. They have just published their joint study in "The Journal of Neuroscience".
