Contrasting nutritional acclimation of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and red maple (Acer rubrum L.) to increasing conifers and soil acidity as demonstrated by foliar nutrient balances [PDF]
, 2016 Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marshall, SM) is believed to be more sensitive to acidic and nutrient-poor soils associated with conifer-dominated stands than red maple (Acer rubrum L., RM).

Dendrochemistry of White Mountain bristlecone pines: An investigation via Synchrotron Radiation Scanning X‐Ray Fluorescence Microscopy [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2009 Synchrotron Radiation Scanning X‐Ray Fluorescence Microscopy (SXFM) was used for the first spatially/temporally resolved investigation of the multielemental chemistry of bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva D.K. Bailey). A new protocol was designed to apply this nondestructive method of analysis to this unique palaeoclimatological resource, extracting ...

Modern means of assessing the impact of emergencies on the environmental condition of the ground layer of atmosphere [PDF]
, 2021 The problem of emergencies will not leave humanity as long as it exists, and therefore it is necessary to at least create conditions under which it is possible to reduce the risks of injuries, diseases and deaths of people who are in the emergency zone.
