The importance of heuweltjie patch isolation, size, and quality for arthropods in the Succulent Karoo, South Africa by Liaam Davids, James S. Pryke, Colleen L. Seymour

“…Patch isolation and quality were significantly correlated with arthropod richness, abundance, and community composition. More specifically, average proximity of sampled heuweltjies to other neighboring heuweltjies, termite frass, and vegetation structure (height, leaf litter and dead plant cover) were key determinants for epigeic and foliage‐dwelling arthropods' species richness, abundance, and community composition. …”

High-Vigor Rootstock Exacerbates Herbaceous Notes in <i>Vitis vinifera</i> L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon Berries and Wines Under Humid Climates by Xiao Han, Haocheng Lu, Xia Wang, Yu Wang, Weikai Chen, Xuanxuan Pei, Fei He, Changqing Duan, Jun Wang

“…Orthogonal partial least squares regression analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that the differential compounds in CS/1103P and CS berries were dominated by green leaf volatiles. Furthermore, the concentrations of 1-hexanol in the CS/1103P wines were significantly higher than in the other treatments in the two vintages. 1103P altered the expression of genes in the LOX-HPL pathway and increased the concentration of grape green leaf volatiles such as 1-hexanol and 1-hexanal, while vine vigor also affected green leaf volatile concentrations, the combination of which altered the aromatic composition of the wine and gave it more green flavors.…”
