Mechanism of ion migration from the substrate material into snow cover at the end of the cold period

Лëд и снег
Earlier, it was established that maximum mineralization of the contact layer of snow occurs in spring at the interface with substrates (soil or ice). This study analyzes the temperature and moisture conditions during this period at the interface of the ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.

Improving Digital Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon and Total Nitrogen Through Integration of Sentinel‐1 Backscatter, InSAR Coherence, and Sentinel‐3 OLCI/SLSTR Observations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The potential of optical satellites for the spatial prediction of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (STN) has long been recognized. Owing to their balanced spatial–temporal resolution, multisource observational capabilities, and unprecedented availability of free data, Sentinel satellites offer unique opportunities for mapping soil ...

Discriminating Arid Ecosystems and Tracking Desertification Dynamics: Evidence From Grain‐Size End‐Member in the Manas River Basin, Northern Tianshan Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecosystem of the Manas River Basin, composed of mountains, oases, and deserts, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for investigating surface processes and environmental evolution in arid regions. Elucidating the provenance, transport dynamics, and climate response mechanisms of surface sediments in this system is critical for advancing

Reducing Uncertainties in Snow Fence Design: Development of Methods for Estimation of Snow Drifting and the Snow Relocation Coefficient - TR760 [PDF]

, 2020
Blowing and drifting of snow is a major concern for transportation safety and road maintenance. Mitigation of snow drift on roadways is often achieved by installing temporary or permanent snow fences along the road segments affected by snow drift ...
