Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Study on atomization characteristics of nozzles in artificial snow making process

open access: yesZhileng xuebao
The increasing global warming and rapid growth of the ski industry have raised higher demands for artificial snowmaking technology and snow quality, with the quality of artificial snowmaking closely linked to the atomization characteristics of snowmaking

Optimization of methods for assessing the resistance of winter rye to snow mold in natural and artificial infection backgrounds

open access: yesАграрная наука Евро-Северо-Востока
Snow mold is an economically important and progressive disease of winter rye caused by several species of low temperature fungi (ascomycetes and basidiomycetes) and fungal-like organisms (oomycetes), with yield losses of up to 30–50 %.

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

Saline Conversion and Ice Structures from Artificially Grown Sea Ice [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
The environment of cold regions is generally viewed as inhospitable, primarily due to application of ideal processes and techniques suitable to temperate zones. The work herein is a step toward solving two environmental problems.

Boundary Conditions for Artificial Snow Production in the Austrian Alps*

open access: yesJournal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2010
Abstract To assess how meteorological conditions favorable for the production of artificial snow vary in time and space, wet-bulb temperatures are calculated using temperature and humidity data of 14 Austrian stations between October and April for 1948–2007 (station altitudes 585–3105 m MSL).

Comparative Trends of Sociality Among Terrestrial Carnivores: A Multivariate Analysis 陆生食肉动物社会性的比较趋势:一项多变量分析

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Active Amplification of the Terrestrial Albedo to Mitigate Climate Change: An Exploratory Study

open access: yes, 2005
This study explores the potential to enhance the reflectance of solar insolation by the human settlement and grassland components of the Earth's terrestrial surface as a climate change mitigation measure.
