Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Response of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) to bacterial soil inoculants and foliar fertilization

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2016
Soybean yields can be considerably improved by inoculation with selected Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and foliar fertilization. An exact field experiment was carried out in 2012-2014 at the Experimental Station of Cultivar Assessment in Przecław ...

Multi-site monitoring of heat stresses and micrometeorological conditions in the rice plants communities under various climates. The micrometeorological measurements system for a common measure of the paddy environments [PDF]

, 2009
Rice yield can be reduced substantially when the crop is exposed to excessive hest, which will likely occur more frequently under future climates, but the magnitudes of yield losses under open-field conditions are still difficult to predict, despite many

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Crop traits relevant for selecting potato genotypes adapted to low nitrogen availability [PDF]

, 2012
Canopy cover development was measured for 6 to 18 different potato varieties, under 3 different nitrogen regimes. This canopy cover development can be expressed in several paramaters.

From Monomers to Self-Assembled Monolayers: The Evolution of Molecular Mobility with Structural Confinements [PDF]

, 2014
The effect of structural constriction on molecular mobility is investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) within three types of molecular arrangements: monomers, oligomers and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Mechanism Analysis and Optimal Design of Return Impact of a Certain Aircraft Canopy Actuator

Actuators
During the closure of a specific aircraft canopy, oil leakage occurs from the pressure tank’s overflow port in the gas–liquid control system. This issue often occurs during closure, potentially leading to reduced system oil and impacting the normal ...

Improving competitive ability of chickpea with sowthistle [PDF]

, 2005
An experiment was conducted to examine the extent of root and canopy interference of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Sowthistle was surrounded with either two or eight chickpea plants.
