Three species of land leeches from Taiwan, Haemadipsa rjukjuana comb. n., a new record for Haemadipsa picta Moore, and an updated description of Tritetrabdella taiwana (Oka)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2011
Three species of land leeches, including a new combination Haemadipsa rjukjuanacomb. n., a new record for Haemadipsa picta Moore, as well as an updated description for Tritetrabdella taiwana (Oka), are reported in this study. Morphological characters and DNA barcode analysis were used to identify these species.

Comparison of land–ocean warming ratios in updated observed records and CMIP5 climate models

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
A well-known feature of the observed and simulated climate is enhanced land surface warming compared to the ocean. This difference in warming, frequently expressed as a ratio, is often contrasted between the observed record and climate model output as both an evaluation metric for climate models and as a global index used for climate change detection ...

Problem of soil science based cLassification of land in the context of updating land and building records

open access: yesGeomatics, Landmanagement and Landscape, 2021
Pursuant to the Geodetic and Cartographic Law, the soil science based classification of land should be understood as the division of soils into valuation classes due to their productive quality, determined on the basis of soil genetic features. Pursuant to the above-mentioned Act, the task of the starosta (district administrator) is to maintain both ...

Modelling Spatial Compositional Data: Reconstructions of past land cover and uncertainties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we construct a hierarchical model for spatial compositional data, which is used to reconstruct past land-cover compositions (in terms of coniferous forest, broadleaved forest, and unforested/open land) for five time periods during the past
