However, as the order of dominance of these companion and occasional species declined, the effect of plant species on species diversity showed a highly significant exponential or linear downward trend ( R 2 : 0.891~0.967).

The families and genera of grasslands in Altai showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing, and the species showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing and then decreasing.

Introduction An increasing trend in the daily consumption and variety of different types of sprouts available in grocery stores is accompanied by a growing number of publications on the biological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects, of these new elements of the human diet.

urophylla exhibited a similar behavior to what was found for height, showing an increasing trend in root depth with the age of the stand.

Moreover, Tukey’s HSD test at α < 0.05 among the four irrigation treatments at the three sampling times showed highly significant variability in all soil cations but with no significant changes in soil anions.

Inbreeding Coefficient The inbreeding coefficient (F) showed an increasing trend for all GS strategies ( Figure 4 ).

A notable trend emerged: in blight-susceptible varieties (cv.

For IPAv values, red varieties did not show a clear trend with respect to irrigation.

Zhang Wei explored the influence of microbial residues on the formation of soil humus under pure culture conditions, and found that humus could be extracted after the death and fragmentation of microbial cells, but with the extension of culture time, the amount of extraction showed a trend of decline.

Because the habitat areas with a decreasing trend are far beyond those with an increasing trend in the 2070s, the whole potential distribution area will considerably contract.

alopecuroides expanded slightly and showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing.

nitidum showed a decreasing trend in future periods and the content of nitidine chloride in suitable habitats was higher than that in unsuitable habitats for Z. nitidum .

A positive hillslope value suggests an increasing trend (positive slope), while a negative value suggests a decreasing trend (negative slope).

The results showed that the soil moisture content fluctuated, with a decreasing trend throughout the reproductive period, except during extreme weather events that caused significant increases or decreases in moisture content.

According to data analysis from the SIAN (National Agricultural Information System), oil production in Lecce specifically had a negative trend in the 2019–2020 campaign, with a decline of 80% and an all-time low of 3979 tons produced.

Although the chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b ratio in colonized leaves showed a decreasing trend compared with the control, it did not reach statistical significance.

From June to August, there was a notable shift in plant loading on PC1 towards the positive side, and this shift exhibited a decreasing trend from rural to urban areas ( Figure 3 b).

As potato tubers are used for fresh consumption in this region, the high commercial tuber ratio with 25% manure substitution is more advantageous than 100% chemical fertilization, with an increasing trend over the years.

[ 47 ] found that, with the increase in Cd concentration, the GSH content of ultra-black glutinous maize showed a decreasing trend, which was similar to our experiment.

In contrast, the soluble protein content of all four treatment groups showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing ( Figure 4 f).

In this study, the biomass of the main root, lateral root, main stem, and needle showed a decreasing trend with increasing shading.

Strains 2, 6, 11, 14, and 18 showed a trend of initially increasing and then decreasing in terms of their phosphorus-solubilization index as time increased.

A highly significant negative correlation was noticed between the Fe toxicity score and plant height (−0.84), panicle length (−0.51), and plant yield (−0.78).

Among them, two of the three V-type proton ATPase subunit genes (evm.TU.CHR18.1017 and evm.TU.CHR1.2116) were upregulated by salt stress for 24 h, while the expression level of one (evm.TU.CHR15.1309) showed a decreasing trend with prolongation of salt stress ( Figure 9 , Table S12 ).

The CWSI is a sensitive indicator used to reflect water stress caused by the stomatal function of the crop, and continuous water stress results in an increasing trend of the CWSI and a decreasing trend of Pn, Tr, and gs [ 9 ].
