No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest
A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration
Abstract Introduction We rely on coastal resources for food, water, and energy. However, over 75% of U.S. coastlines are eroding. Concurrently, the U.S. recycles less glass than other developed countries, landfilling hundreds of millions of tons every year.

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

ABSTRACT Understanding the biotic and abiotic influences on the deposition and diagenesis of recent microbial carbonates is crucial for addressing the environmental and ecological significance of ancient organosedimentary structures. This study investigates these factors and their expression in the microstructure of Holocene tufa thrombolites from a ...

Glacial Legacies-How Refugial Dynamics Shaped the Evolution of the Alpine Endemic Bush-Cricket Anonconotus italoaustriacus. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mountain ranges like the European Alps harbour large endemic biodiversity shaped by Pleistocene climatic oscillations. The flightless bush‐cricket Anonconotus italoaustriacus, endemic to the Southern Limestone Alps (SLA) and the eastern Central Alps (CA), provides an ideal model to study the evolutionary and refugial dynamics of endemic alpine

Active fault locations and constraints on the timing and size of earthquakes are important for understanding and mitigating seismic hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, historical and instrumental records are too short to provide these data on most earthquake‐generating faults. Light detection and ranging (lidar) data provide us with the ability to

A new species of Leptopetalum Hook. & Arn. (Rubiaceae) is segregated from Leptopetalum foetidum (G. Forst.) Neupane & N. Wikstr. Leptopetalum perpusillum Heenan, sp. nov., is distinguished from L. foetidum by its decumbent, low‐growing growth habit, smaller elliptic leaves, short peduncle, compact and few‐flowered inflorescence, and smaller fruit.

Recent field work in Niue has recognized the terrestrial orchids Calanthe amboinensis (Blume) M.W.Chase, Christenh. & Schuit. and Liparis barbata Lindl. and the epiphytic Aeridostachya robusta (Blume) Brieger as new indigenous records. Liparis L.C.Rich. and Aeridostachya (Hook.f.) Brieger are new genera for the flora of Niue, while Calanthe R.Br.

Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.
