Changes to ecosystem abiotic parameters are regarded as possible mechanisms facilitating plant invasion and community composition shifts. This study compared the hydrophobic chemical signatures of soil from exotic bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera spp. rotundata) invaded, indigenous acacia (Acacia longifolia var. sophorae) dominated and bare sand (unvegetated) habitats using a novel, rapid, capturing technique which utilised AmberliteA (R) XAD4 resin filled bags that were placed in situ. The hydrophobic chemical signature of the bitou bush soil extract was significantly different to the acacia soil and bare sand extracts. High concentrations of 18 sesquiterpenes dominated the hydrophobic signature of the bitou bush …

Lipid model membranes such as 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine (DMPC) serve as role models for their more complex counterparts in biological systems. Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) [1-3], inelastic neutron scattering (INS) [4] and neutron spin echo spectroscopy (NSE) [5] have been employed to study local as well as collective dynamics of these membranes on a ps-ns time scale. Most of these studies lack a systematic investigation of the behavior of the model membranes in dependence on their hydration. We now started a detailed investigation of hydration effect on model membrane systems. The complexity of the dynamics can be further reduced by selective deuteration, …
