Lime application stimulated soil respiration during the fallow season and reduced the abundance of methanogens during the early rice growing season.
High grazing intensity reduces cover and thereby increases sediment losses (Bartley et al. 2010); reduces total soil nitrogen and organic carbon (Beyer et al. 2011); interrupts natural fire cycles (e.g. Hodgkinson et al. 1984); and reduces the abundance of bird species (Martin et al. 2005) and small mammals (Woinarski and Fisher 2003).
We will show that overexploitation and destructive fishing activities such as trawling have transformed the Firth of Clyde, restructuring marine communities and reducing the abundance and diversity of commercially exploited populations.
SPRY4-IT1 associates with, and reduces the abundance of, the lipid phosphatase lipin 2 and may suppress apoptosis arising from lipid metabolism and lipotoxicity.
Related people are part of the limited mtDNA pool of a restricted entity, and reducing the abundance to one sample per lineage would not illustrate the true frequencies.
(C ) 3-day knockdown of cavin-3 or myosin-1c redistributes caveolin-1 to the cell interior by immunofluorescence and reduces the abundance of morphological caveolae by thin section EM.
It's worth noting that the cell cycle changes caused by HCMV were related to alterations of cell cycle factors, including increasing of CyclinE transcription activity, activating cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and reducing the abundance of Cdk inhibitors (CKIs) [ 11, 24, 25].
Glucocorticoids have been shown to increase apoptosis of Dupuytren's-associated fibroblasts, and to reduce the abundance of TGF-β1 and fibronectin CS1 in myofibroblast-populated stroma in DC nodules injected with depomedrone [ 35, 36].
A pesticide might incidentally and quickly reduce the abundance of a nontarget insect species, which to persist must evolve adaptation to the novel toxin.
Moreover, predators usually favor one particular species among a set of potential prey, either via specific preference or density dependence [ 10, 13], and reduce the relative abundance of the preferred prey [ 81].
