Benchmark regression analysis In order to make the experimental results more credible, before using the GWR regression analysis, a global OLS test is performed first. Tables 1 and 2 show that basic OLS regression. In order to solve the multicollinearity problem of data, according to the VIF of variables, the collinearity factors are removed by using […] More
In this study, intraspecific competition in C. maltaromaticum was mapped by performing high-throughput competition assays which investigated a total of 5 329 pairwise interactions within a collection of 73 strains. A high level of competition, at the intraspecific level, was recorded with approximatively 56% of the sender strains inhibiting at least one receiver strain and […] More
Tuvalu climate The mean SST is 29.5 °C (with a range of 0.7 °C/yr). The mean precipitation is 3,493 mm/yr, and the climate is characterized by a rainy season with westerly winds from November to March and a dry season with easterly winds from April to October. The SST data was sourced from NOAA Coral Reef Watch21 […] More

Atmospheric CO2 has increased from 350 to 410 ppm in the last three decades, which has been associated with greater plant growth and more efficient photosynthesis. The impacts of elevated CO2 on vegetation are, however, not all positive. Enhanced growth and photosynthesis can dilute nutrient concentrations in leaves, and plant physiological responses to elevated CO2 […] More
Changes in hydrothermal factors before, during, and after precipitation Soil temperature Figure 1(a) shows the change in soil temperature for 11 days (i.e. five days before, one day during, and five days after the first precipitation event). Precipitation significantly reduced soil temperature. During the observation period, temperature of all reconstructed soils increased before and after precipitation, […] More
