Experimental overview An in situ field experiment was conducted over two years to examine the influence of larval density on initial settlement and post-settlement persistence, coral abundance and growth. Using a regression design, we tested 30 different larval densities of Acropora tenuis in a degraded reef environment. Larvae were initially confined within 30 individual flow-through […] More
The early detection of a species outside of its previous known distribution, including both native and invaded areas, triggers a series of cascading questions as to (1) the source of propagules (i.e., the donor region), (2) the mechanism by which they were transported and released into the recipient region, (3) the probability that the species […] More

The higher grain yields achieved in the TWW-irrigated systems were probably attributed to the continuous supply of plant nutrients, especially N, contained in the TWW at high concentrations during the growing season (Table 3). Being the most yield-limiting nutrient in rice production, N is generally applied through high doses of synthetic fertilisers to ensure high levels […] More

The diverse influences of individual species on air quality are reflected by the immeasurable range of phenotypes. As well as consideration of the planting environment, effective plant selection for air pollution mitigation requires an understanding of the balance between beneficial and detrimental aspects of vegetation at species level and below. In the following sub-sections, we […] More
