Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Analytical solutions for dynamic response in poroelastic seabed under second-order Stokes waves

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Based on the theory of the second-order Stokes waves, the dynamic response of a poroelastic seabed induced by nonlinear ocean waves is investigated. The governing equations for the seabed are established in Cartesian coordinates using the Biot's general ...

Meshless Model for Wave-Induced Oscillatory Seabed Response around a Submerged Breakwater Due to Regular and Irregular Wave Loading

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The evaluation of wave-induced seabed stability around a submerged breakwater is particularly important for coastal engineers involved in design of the foundation of breakwaters.

Frozen rights?: The right to develop Maori treaty and aboriginal rights [PDF]

, 2011
Bishop Manuhuia Bennett often asked the question: "What did Maori call New Zealand before the arrival of the Pakeha [Europeans]?" After a deliberate pause, he would then simply utter: "Ours"

Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Numerical study of seabed response and liquefaction around a jacket support offshore wind turbine foundation under combined wave and current loading

Water Science and Engineering, 2022
The seabed instability induced by the transient liquefaction when exposed to wave-current may threaten the safety of offshore structures. In this study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations with the k–ε turbulence model were used to ...

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

Wave induced silty seabed response around a trenched pipeline

Ocean Engineering, 2022
Yes Most previous studies on seabed liquefaction around offshore pipelines focused on investigating the wave-induced pore pressure variation in sandy seabed, while limited studies have been conducted for silty seabed. In this study, laboratory experiments are conducted to investigate wave-induced pore pressure within silty bed around the buried or ...

From commons to commoning as resistance efforts to blue injustice: A sociohistorical and ethnographical approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the last 20 years, collaborative efforts have emerged with the intention of going beyond the pure capitalist economy, seeking to generate transformative community‐based changes that guarantee blue equity, fair distribution and well‐being.
