To understand how plants respond to and influence their environments, ecologists often use a series of standardized measurements called functional traits. For example, a plant's capacity to do ...

A functional group can, for example, be introduced by polymerizing a second (cyclic) monomer onto a first polymer block. Decomposition of the second block leaves one functional group at the end of ...

Synthesis. Complementarity between functional groups might be an important mechanism enhancing functional diversity, particularly in harsh environments at intermediate rather than low fertility.

Functional group not directly on metal changes its behavior Linking an imido group to a Lewis acid spurs nickel to flip its C–H activation selectivity ...

The complex arrangements of several functional groups within the pores can lead to properties that are not simply linear sums of those of the pure components. For example, a member of this series, MTV ...
