Fire resilience and forest restoration in Mediterranean fire-prone areas

, 2011
Mediterranean ecosystems are of importance worldwide because they are biodiversity hot spots. In these areas, forest fires have been modelling the landscape since the Pleistocene Era. Consequently, plant communities inhabiting this fire-prone area have developed adaptive traits (e.g.

Experimental study on dynamic behavior analysis of coal and its acoustic emission response characteristics under impact failure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on acoustic emission response characteristics, it can be more accurate to identify the damage evolution process of coal under the combined dynamic and static loads, reveal the moment corresponding to coal damage, and identify the characteristics of coal failure. The research results are conducive to the further use of acoustic emission monitoring

Temperature‐dependent shear behavior and constitutive model of the rock–concrete interface

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Shear tests were conducted to investigate the temperature‐dependent shear behavior of the rock–concrete interface, highlighting the interaction between the surrounding rock and the lining during tunnel fires. Under experimental conditions, concrete exhibited greater temperature sensitivity than rock, with the shear fracture surface transitioning from ...

Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

Ecography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest
