Density inhomogeneities of the upper mantle of the Central Balkans [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1998 SUMMARY A 3-D density model was created for the Central Balkans area down to a depth of 670 km on the basis of seismic (both artificial sources and earthquakes) and gravity data. This model is based on density columns constructed for the main geological units of the study region. The densities for these columns were obtained using the density variation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Some traces of interlinguistic contacts in the central Balkan mountains [PDF]
Balcanica, 2003 The etymology of three Balcan tree names, S.‑Cr. munika ‘Pinus leucodermis’, molika ‘Pinus peuce’ and omorika ‘Picea omorika’ is discussed. The latter is supposed to go back, together with Bulg. morika ‘spruce’, to Slavic *mъxorъ ‘fringe’ describing here the hanging branches of spruce.

Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...
