Abstract (description taken from article) Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging, predicting imminent CBs is possible from precise monitoring data of the underlying...

Abstract (description taken from article) In this paper, we consider a diffusive-advective predator-prey system in a spatially heterogeneous environment subject to a hostile boundary condition, where the interaction term is governed by a Holling type II functional response. We investigate the...

Abstract (description taken from article) Microplastics pose a severe threat to marine ecosystems; however, relevant mathematical modeling and analysis are lacking. This paper formulates two stoichiometric producer-grazer models to investigate the interactive effects of microplastics, nutrients,...

Abstract (description taken from this, pre-print version of the article) Evidence shows that resource quality can determine the costs and benefits of fear effect on consumer dynamics. However, mechanistic modeling and analysis are lacking. This paper formulates a tri-trophic level food chain...

The impact of water storage capacity on plant dynamics in arid environments: a stoichiometric modeling approach
Download2024-03-01
Wang, Cuihua, Yuan, Sanling, Wang, Hao
Abstract from Author: "Plants in arid environments have evolved many strategies to resist drought. Among them, the developed water storage tissue is an essential characteristic of xerophytes. To clarify the role of water storage capacity in plant performance, we originally formulate a...

Gao, Shufei, Wang, Hao, Yuan, Sanling
Abstract from Author: "Consumers respond differently to external nutrient changes than producers, resulting in a mismatch in elemental composition between them and potentially having a significant impact on their interactions. To explore the responses of herbivores and omnivores to changes in...
