Moreover, a mean value of pH of the wastewater has been observed within the safe limit except in a few sites following an increasing trend of TDS but within the safe limit.

The latitudes and longitudes, vegetation coverage, AGB, moisture content, species richness, and community height of the four study areas are presented in Table 1 , which shows that each statistical indicator exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing grassland degradation gradient.

Low temperature effect on the insecticidal protein content of cotton plants Compared with the control (27°C), the content of insecticidal protein in squares decreased under low temperature treatment, and with the decreasing temperature, its content showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 1 ).

Among the traits, GY was highly significant and positively correlated with PH (r = 0.71 **) , and EPP (r = 0.63 ** ) under OPT conditions.

The results showed that the correlation coefficient of W2SES and W4SES between the field and greenhouse reached 0.69 and 0.78, respectively, which was extremely significant.

In contrast, the temporal stability of SWC in deeper layers (200–400 cm) of 22-, 34- and 46-year-old stands showed a decreasing trend with depth.

The spatiotemporal behavior of SWC The SWC showed a trend of decreasing with increasing years of HA plantations, and the variation of SWC with plant years was greater in the deep layer than in the shallow layer.

quinquefolia did not show markedly significant differences from unity under conditions of both low and high light habitats, while the slopes of the other pairwise traits, namely, LFM vs LA and LDM vs LA, were significantly different from unity ( p <0.001).

In the summer maize planting-tasseling and tasseling-physiological maturity periods, drought showed an increasing trend in the most Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China from 1961 to 2015 ( Wu X, et al., 2021 ).

As shown in Figure 2B , SPAD generally showed a trend of initially increasing (N1–N3) then decreasing (N3–N4) and finally ending up with a small increase (N4–N5) with the increase of nitrogen application under the same leakage conditions.

The Fe and Zn content in grain exhibited a highly significant and positive association between them, whereas the Fe and Zn contents individually showed a negative, albeit weak, correlation with grain yield and a moderate positive relation with grain weight.

While median and modal diameters did not vary considerably between the two groups, nanoparticles in GKP EVs fraction showed a trend increase in concentration than those isolated from HKP ( Figure 1 ).

In all association analyses, a highly significant locus on chromosome 10 was detected, which was tight chained with the known SCR resistance gene RPPC and RPPK .

As can be seen from the Figure 17 , with the increase of rotor speed, the average velocity of the wind field in the numerical simulation test shows an overall trend of increase, while the average velocity of droplets in the PIV test shows an overall trend of decrease, indicating that the wind field significantly reduces the average velocity of droplets.

Alleles of the high signal MTAs (locus IAAV3365, A/G alleles) had a highly significant effect on grain yield ( Figure 8A ).

If β > 0, NPP showed an increasing trend; if β< 0, NPP showed a downward trend.

The average NPP of different land use types changed at different rates and showed a trend of fluctuating growth.

(2021) observed a decreasing trend in GPC over the last 85 years using a DW collection including accessions representative of the Argentina, Italy, Chile, France, CIMMYT and other countries breeding programs.

The genetic correlations among traits were calculated ( Figure 2 ), showing highly significant coefficients between grain and flour protein (1.00).

Developing seeds show a decreasing trend in concentration from the proximal to the distal ends.

fortunei families showed an increasing trend with increasing temperature, following an “S” curve, and the half-lethal temperature ranges between 39°C and 43.2°C.

We found that the chlorophyll a content of the #45 and #48 needles showed a decreasing trend with increasing temperature.

With increasing temperature stress, the POD activities of #45 and #48 showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, similar to the changes in SOD activities.

In the present study, the enzyme activities of SPS and SSs related to sucrose synthesis showed a trend of increasing and then stabilizing throughout the reproductive period, while the enzyme activities of SSc, AI, and NI related to sucrose catabolism showed a gradual decrease, which was consistent with the results of previous studies ( Wang et al., 2001 ).

sylvestris showed an increasing trend across the years, whereas L. gmelinii showed a significant decreasing trend in the early years with an upward trend in later years (R 2 = 0.02) ( Figure 4 ).
