Abstract To address for the first time the carbon budget of traditional salterns, we measured the diel, seasonal, and spatial variability of water‐air CO2‐eq fluxes (CH4 and CO2) and the Organic Carbon (OC) stock and burial rate in the sediment. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and wind were assessed as potential environmental drivers of the

ABSTRACT Aim To understand species population ecology, we need to study how trends of demographic drivers change over time and space, especially so under current rapid climate change. However, knowledge on long‐term trends of survival and productivity, especially using multiple species over large spatial scales, is scarce.

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq
In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white.
