Effect of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 on the Tolerance of Rice (Oryza sativa L. cv Maratelli) Seedlings Against Lindane

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lindane (γ‐hexachlorocyclohexane, γ‐HCH) is a broad‐spectrum pesticide widely used since the 1950s until its inclusion in the Stockholm Convention list of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2009, together with other HCH isomers. The high persistence and mismanagement of the toxic wastes generated during its synthesis have led to serious ...

The photosynthesis-foliar nitrogen relationship in deciduous and evergreen forests in New Hampshire [PDF]

, 2018
Biomass production in forests is a key process in the global carbon (C) cycle that is strongly linked to photosynthesis and related leaf traits. Spatially, relationships among leaf traits can vary as a function of climate, soils and species composition.

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...

Mercury Accumulation is Related to the Leaf Economics Spectrum

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic metal with a complex biogeochemistry and the principles governing Hg uptake in different types of vegetation represent a knowledge gap. By combining published information from three sources with new data we investigated the rate of Hg accumulation in a wide range of leaf types from broadleaved ...
