Tropical forest degradation in the context of climate change: increasing role and research challenges. [K-2215-01] [PDF]

, 2015
While developed countries in temperate regions faced their forest transition about 100 years ago or more, “tropical forest rich” nations still largely depend on forest resources or land clearing for their development.

Old-growth forest loss and secondary forest recovery across Amazonian countries

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
There is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale restoration in the Amazon as a “nature-based solution” to climate change. However, our knowledge of forest loss and recovery beyond Brazil is limited, and carbon emissions and accumulation have not been estimated for the whole biome.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]

, 2005
The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

What is secondary forest?

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1994
The recognition that tropical secondary forests are the tropical forests of the future has led to a rapid expansion in the literature. Unfortunately it has also resulted in an expansion in the meaning of the term 'secondary forest' which risks rendering it virtually useless.

THE EXAMPLES OF FOREST MANAGEMENT IN SECONDARY FORESTS OF WESTERN SIBERIA

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2017
Identifying the best practices of responsible and sustainable forest use is an important aspect for possible learning of experience and replication of the most interesting examples in forestry. Qualitative and timely reforestation of disturbed areas with economically valuable species is the key indicator for the performance of effective forest ...

Association of Corticospinal Tract Asymmetry With Ambulatory Ability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ambulatory ability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important to patients. We tested whether asymmetry between ipsi‐ and contra‐lesional corticospinal tracts (CSTs) assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is associated with post‐ICH ambulation.

SECONDARY FORESTS IN THE WEST OF THE RUSSIAN BOREAL ZONE: CONCEPTS, GENESIS, IDENTIFICATION

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019
Secondary forests are those that have replaced primary ones as a result of various human impacts. In the west of the Russian boreal zone (Murmansk and Leningrad Regions,Republic of Karelia and adjacent parts of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda Regions), they ...

Age‐Related Characteristics of SYT1‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives We describe the clinical manifestations and developmental abilities of individuals with SYT1‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder (Baker‐Gordon syndrome) from infancy to adulthood. We further describe the neuroradiological and electrophysiological characteristics of the condition at different ages, and explore the associations ...
