A role of the mechanical preparation of soil in the natural regeneration of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) in floodplain forests

Journal of Forest Science, 2005
The subject of our research was to verify effects of the mechanical preparation of soil in the natural regeneration of pedunculate oak in a floodplain forest. On the site of a hard-wooded floodplain forest at the confluence of the Morava and Dyje rivers (

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Views from the hill: Deer stalkers' perspectives on land‐use change in the Scottish Highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Land‐use and wildlife management are changing globally as part of efforts to address contemporary environmental challenges. In the Scottish Highlands, the hunting—or ‘stalking’—of deer has entered a period of considerable flux primarily because of national policy changes to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.

A Versatile Distribution Based on the Incomplete Gamma Function: Characterization and Applications

Mathematics
In this study, we introduce a novel distribution related to the gamma distribution, referred to as the generalized incomplete gamma distribution. This new family is defined through a stochastic representation involving a linear transformation of a random

Microbial biomass and soil chemical properties under different land use systems in northeastern Pará

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011
The increase in agricultural production in the Brazilian Amazon region is mostly a result of the agricultural frontier expansion, into areas previously influenced by humans or of native vegetation.

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

Robust modeling of differential gene expression data using normal/independent distributions: a Bayesian approach.

PLoS ONE, 2015
In this paper, the problem of identifying differentially expressed genes under different conditions using gene expression microarray data, in the presence of outliers, is discussed. For this purpose, the robust modeling of gene expression data using some

An Asymmetric Extension for the Family of Elliptical Slash Distributions

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2012
In this article, we introduce an asymmetric extension to the univariate slash-elliptical family of distributions studied in Gomez et al. (2007a). This new family results from a scale mixture between the epsilon-skew-symmetric family of distributions and the uniform distribution.

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...
