Acquisitive plants exhibit stronger phenological shifts in response to warming: insights from meta-analysis and long-term monitoring

Abstract As climate warming accelerates, shifts in plant phenology are reshaping the functioning and stability of terrestrial ecosystems. While the roles of climatic drivers in shaping phenological responses to warming are well established, the influence of intrinsic plant functional traits remains poorly understood. Here, we combine two complementary approaches through a meta-analysis of 124 field warming experiments and an analysis of long-term phenological monitoring networks (CPON and USA‑NPN) to evaluate phenological responses to warming across a spectrum of resource-use strategies in seasonally cold biomes. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that resource-acquisitive plants, characterized by higher nutrient concentrations and thinner leaves, show significantly stronger phenological responses to experimental warming. This pattern is observed consistently across both leaf-out in spring and senescence in autumn. These results from meta-analysis are further supported by two long-term observational datasets, which also show more pronounced phenological shifts in acquisitive species under long-term warming. Our findings present a trait-climate integration framework that extends beyond conventional environmental drivers, providing a mechanistic foundation to enhance the accuracy of forecasts for plant responses to climate change.

Challenges in the standardization of in vitro cytotoxicity assays for comparative risk assessment of cold atmospheric pressure plasma devices

Abstract Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality in wound healing, with multiple devices now certified for clinical use. However, the constructive and functional diversity of CAP technologies poses significant challenges for cross-device comparison in preclinical in vitro studies. In this study, we evaluated how device-specific parameters and experimental conditions influence cytotoxic outcomes across different CAP technologies. Using L929, GM00637, and HaCaT cells, we compared direct treatment with a plasma jet (kINPen ® MED) and a surface micro-discharge device (plasma care ® ), revealing significant differences in the reduction of metabolic activity under otherwise identical conditions. Assessment of treatment geometry—specifically the radius of circular motion of the plasma jet—significantly affects metabolic activity, even at identical exposure times. To standardize conditions across devices, we further investigated an indirect treatment approach using a metal grid to generate plasma-conditioned PBS. However, we found a non-linear relationship between liquid volume, treatment time, and biological outcome. Moreover, indirect treatment excludes short-lived reactive species and non-chemical plasma components, limiting its biological relevance. Our findings demonstrate that neither direct nor indirect treatment protocols reliably enable cross-device comparisons in vitro. We therefore advocate for transparent, comprehensive reporting of all device and experimental variables, rather than pursuing a single standardized protocol. This enables meaningful data integration and cross-study comparisons, even when protocols differ.
