Effect of a Trench Combined With Exclosure on Recovery of Herbaceous Biomass in Degraded Mountain Areas in Hawasa Watershed, Southern Ethiopia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the restoration of herbaceous biomass in degraded mountain lands by comparing the impact of trenches established alongside exclosures (EX‐SWC) to exclosures alone (EX). To achieve the objective, herbaceous biomass was collected from areas restored using EX‐SWC and EX over three consecutive years ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Assessment of Soil Erosion Over Six Decades in a Long‐Term Experiment Using Fallout 137Cs and RUSLE: A South American Case Study

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major global concern affecting agricultural productivity and land sustainability. This study investigates the magnitude and variability of soil erosion in a long‐term experiment (LTE) established in 1963 in Colonia, Uruguay, aiming to compare the performance of the 137Cs tracer technique and the RUSLE model across ...

Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

Simultaneous Cerebral Blood Flow and Cerebrovascular Reactivity Obtained From Novel Multi‐Band Multi‐Echo Pseudo‐Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (M2‐PCASL) Sequence: A Test–Retest Reliability Study

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose We aim to assess the reliability of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) obtained simultaneously from a novel multi‐band pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (M2‐PCASL) sequence and hypercapnic gas challenge, to examine factors influencing CBF variability, and to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Motion‐Compensated Diffusion Imaging With Phase‐Contrast for Robust Quantification of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and evaluate a motion‐compensated diffusion imaging with phase‐contrast (MC‐DIP) technique for mitigating errors in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) quantification caused by physiological brain motion. Methods Diffusion‐weighted images were acquired in 11 healthy volunteers on a 3.0 T MRI system using three gradient ...

Double Asymmetric Spin Echo EPI (dASE‐EPI) Enables fMRI of the Entire Rat Brain at 9.4 T

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Development and evaluation of a double asymmetric spin echo planar imaging (dASE‐EPI) sequence to balance sensitivity to blood oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) contrast with mitigation of susceptibility‐induced intravoxel spin dephasing in ultra high‐field rodent brain imaging.
