Meta-analyses are currently increasingly applied for any analysis beyond the primary analysis of studies, and for the analysis of big data. This 26-chapter book was written for nonmathematical professionals of medical and health care, in the first place, but, in addition, for anyone involved in any field involving scientific research. The authors have published over twenty innovative meta-analyses from the turn of the century till now. This edition will review the current state of the art, and will use for that purpose the methodological aspects of the authors' own publications, in addition to other relevant methodological issues from the literature. Are there alternative works in the field? Yes, there are, particularly in the field of psychology. Psychologists have invented meta-analyses in 1970, and have continuously updated methodologies. Although very interesting, their work, just like the whole discipline of psychology, is rather explorative in nature, and so is their focus to meta-analysis. Then, there is the field of epidemiologists. Many of them are from the school of angry young men, who publish shocking news all the time, and JAMA and other publishers are happy to publish it. The reality is, of course, that things are usually not as bad as they seem. Finally, some textbooks, written by professional statisticians, tend to use software programs with miserable menu programs and requiring lots of syntax to be learnt. This is prohibitive to clinical and other health professionals. The current edition is the first textbook in the field of meta-analysis entirely written by two clinical scientists, and it consists of many data examples and step by step analyses, mostly from the authors' own clinical research. .MedicineMedicine/Public Health, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007Medicine.Medicine/Public Health, general.610.72Cleophas Ton Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut472359Zwinderman Aeilko Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254660003321Modern Meta-Analysis2519907UNINA02529nam 2200397z- 450 991034674520332120210211(CKB)4920000000094262(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/54176(oapen)doab54176(EXLCZ)99492000000009426220202102d2018 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMycorrhiza in Tropical and Neotropical EcosystemsFrontiers Media SA20181 online resource (139 p.)Frontiers Research Topics2-88945-544-0 Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a mutualistic association of plant roots and fungi that plays a major role in ecosystem function and diversification, as well as its stability and productivity. It also plays a key role in the biology and ecology of forest trees, affecting growth, water and nutrient absorption and protection against soil-borne pathogens. However, the mycorrhizal research in tropical and neotropical ecosystems remains largely unexplored despite its importance in tropical and neotropical ecosystems. These ecosystems represent more than 0.6% of the total land ecosystems and they have a crucial role in the Earth's biogeochemical cycling and climate. Threats to tropical forest biodiversity should therefore encourage investigations and inventories of mycorrhizal diversity, function and ecology in tropical latitudes because they concern ecologically and economically important plant species. This Research Topic aims to provide an overview of the knowledge of mycorrhizal symbioses in tropical and neotropical ecosystems. For this Research Topic, we welcome articles that address the diversity, ecology and function of mycorrhiza associated with plants, the impacts of mycorrhiza on plant diversity and composition, the regeneration and dynamics of ecosystems, and biomass production in ecosystems.Microbiology (non-medical)bicsscabiotic stressarbuscular mycorrhizabiofertilizer in field conditionsectomycorrhizamycorrhizal fungal communitiesMicrobiology (non-medical)Amadou Bâauth1331083Mohamed HijriauthBOOK9910346745203321Mycorrhiza in Tropical and Neotropical Ecosystems3040111UNINA
