Pesticide inputs and risks in coastal wetlands [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1993
Abstract Coastal wetland habitats may receive pesticide inputs indirectly from agricultural and forest control of weeds and insects in upland drainage areas; indirectly or directly from weed, insect, and biofouling control from development of adjacent lands for agricultural, recreational, or residential uses; and directly from control ...

Reframing Colonial Korea's Forests Through Protection Forests: The Forests of Joseon (1938)

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This study examines The Forests of Joseon (1938), a forestry survey compiled by Tokumitsu Nobuyuki under Japanese colonial rule, as a key site of epistemic negotiation between imperial forestry science and Korean indigenous knowledge. Focusing on bíbo forests—geomantic forests believed to regulate energy flow between mountains and villages—the paper ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Potential Immune-Related Genes of Head Kidney in the Yellow Catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) Challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila

Fishes
Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) is an important freshwater fish species in aquaculture. However, as intensive farming has rapidly expanded, infectious diseases caused by various bacteria, such as Aeromonas hydrophila, have also increased.

A unifying approach for evaluating the condition of wetland plant communities and identifying related stressors [PDF]

, 2009
Assessment of vegetation is an important part of evaluating wetland condition, but it is complicated by the variety of plant communities that are naturally present in freshwater wetlands. We present an approach to evaluate wetland condition consisting of:

Field-scale simulation of methane emissions from coastal wetlands in China using an improved version of CH4MOD(wetland)

, 2016
Coastal wetlands are important CH4 sources to the atmosphere. Coastal wetlands account for similar to 10% of the total area of natural wetlands in China, but the size of this potential CH4 source remains highly uncertain.

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
