From Doktor Kurowski's Schneegrenze to our modern glacier equilibrium line altitude (ELA) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
Translated into modern terminology, Kurowski suggested in 1891 that the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of a glacier is equal to the mean altitude of the glacier when the whole glacier is in balance between accumulation and ablation.

The oxygen status of the developing seed [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2009
SummaryRecent applications of oxygen‐sensitive microsensors have demonstrated steep oxygen gradients in developing seeds of various crops. Here, we present an overview on oxygen distribution, major determinants of the oxygen status in the developing seed and implications for seed physiology.

Seed Coat Development and Dormancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Two major types of dormancy mechanisms exist: embryo dormancy where the agents inhibiting germination are inherent to the embryo, and coat-imposed dormancy where inhibition is conferred by the seed envelopes (Bewley, 1997). Generally, complex interactions between the embryo and covering structures determine whether a seed will germinate.

Cadmium and Plant Development: An Agony from Seed to Seed [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Anthropogenic pollution of agricultural soils with cadmium (Cd) should receive adequate attention as Cd accumulation in crops endangers human health. When Cd is present in the soil, plants are exposed to it throughout their entire life cycle. As it is a non-essential element, no specific Cd uptake mechanisms are present.
