THE INFLUENCE OF WETLAND TYPE AND WETLAND PROXIMITY ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES [PDF]

Using detailed residential housing and wetland location data, we determine relative preferences for proximity to four broad classes of wetlands, as expressed through housing values. Implicit prices for proximity to open-water and scrub-shrub wetlands are

Soils and Ecosystems Across the Junction Hill Moraine Sequence (South Westland) With Variable Ultramafic Characteristics

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 3, September 2026.
Geochemical constraints imposed by ultramafic lithologies strongly affect soil and ecosystem development, typically signified by elevated trace element concentrations, nutrient imbalances and reduced biological productivity. In a reconnaissance study, we assessed the variability of soil and ecosystem conditions across a moraine complex with mixed ...

Impact of altitude and temperature variation on microbial communities and fermentation quality of natural oat and maize silage on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

AMB Express
To investigate the microbial community dynamics and climatic responsiveness of naturally fermented silage in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, 51 silages from 17 distinct geographical locations across Qinghai Province were collected and analyzed.

Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum LP160 with Freeze–Thaw Resistance Characteristics on Fermentation, Bacterial Community, and Metabolomics of Oat Silage in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Agriculture
Freeze–thaw cycles on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau inhibit microbial activity and challenge silage preservation. This paper aimed to elucidate how an indigenous, freeze–thaw-resistant Lactobacillus plantarum strain (LP160) improves oat silage quality ...

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11061-11076, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

When Two Worlds Collide: Mātauranga Māori, Science and Health of the Toreparu Wetland [PDF]

, 2014
Much of our understanding of wetland health and function comes from scientific-based monitoring and methodologies. However, there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from Māori-value based assessment methods for monitoring wetlands in New Zealand.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1746-1762, September 2026.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Helwingia omeiensis: the first genome in the family Helwingiaceae

Scientific Data
Helwingia, a shrub of the monotypic cosmopolitan family Helwingiaceae, is distinguished by its inflorescence, in which flowers are borne on the midrib of the leaf—a trait not commonly observed in related plant families. Previous studies have investigated

Changes in keystone species attenuate the complexity and stability of soil microbial networks during alpine meadow degradation

Ecological Indicators
In recent years, intensified human activities and climate change have led to the significant degradation of grasslands worldwide. Soil microbial network structure and function are crucial indicators of grassland degradation.
