A team of researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences working with a colleague from ShanghaiTech University and another from Zhangjiang Laboratory, has developed a new way to make a laser with light in a wide range of ...
Plants need light to grow. However, due to excess nutrients and/or the absence of herbivores, less light can reach lower vegetation layers in grasslands. Consequently, a few fast-growing species dominate and plant diversity ...
