Kalahari vegetation: veld condition trends and ecological status of species

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1991
Grazing intensity gradients were determined in the duneveld, river terrace and river bed habitats of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park. Under increased grazing, a species composition characterised mostly by annual forbs and grasses results. In all three

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Subsurface Investigations of Cryo‐Hydrogeological Features in a High Arctic Catchment Under Transition

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the internal structure and seasonal variations of cryo‐hydrogeological features were investigated in the Fuglebekken catchment, located near the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Svalbard. Over a few years, rising air temperatures and intensified water circulation have significantly altered the distribution, extent, and state of ...

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Age of Ohakea Terrace, Rangitikei River [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 1962
Abstract Gravel with logs of wood at Rangitawa Stream, Wellington land district, that has been radiocarbon-dated at 3,000 years before present was previously correlated with the gravel of the Ohakea Terrace. Loess is absent above the gravel with logs, but about a foot of loess overlies typical Ohakea Gravel.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation increases the bioavailability of zinc and iron in wheat grain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.
