catenas; climate; conifers; fungi; microbial activity; nutritive value; pH; soil organic matter; soil structure; spatial distribution; temperate forests; topsoil; total nitrogen; trees; France
Abstract:
... Soil organic matter (SOM) is of critical importance to the functioning of ecosystems because of its effects on soil nutritional quality, microbial activity and soil structure. SOM is made up of a variety of compounds ranging from chemically reactive and mobile forms to stable, recalcitrant forms. An operationally defined fraction of soil organic matter known as glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) ...

Abstract:
... Patterns of protein intake are strong characteristics of diets, and protein sources have been linked to the environmental and nutrition/health impacts of diets. However, few studies have worked on protein profiles, and most of them have focused on specific diets like vegetarian or vegan diets. Furthermore, the description of the environmental impact of diets has often been limited to greenhouse ga ...

Abstract:
... Droughts are one of the most devastating natural disasters. Droughts can co-exist in different forms (e.g. meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural) as concurrent droughts. Such concurrent droughts can have far reaching implications for crop yield and global food security. The present study aims to assess global concurrent drought traits and their effects on maize yield under climate change. ...

The abundance and richness of tenebrionids in arid zones is facilitated by specific physiological, morphological, and behavioural traits, such as limited activity patterns or the use of suitable microhabitats. Activity patterns of tenebrionid be ...

Abstract:
... After an exceptional hydroclimatic year, a “massive green algae bloom”, dominated by the autotrophic picoeukaryote Picochlorum sp, was observed in 2018–2019 in the Thau lagoon. Oyster farmers informed decision-makers and scientists about an alarming halt to growth, loss of flesh weight and abnormal mortality in commercial size oysters, whereas mussel farmers observed no adverse effects. Two hypoth ...

Abstract:
... Arguably one of the key elements that would come to define Roman society, mobility played a primary role in the expansion and maintenance of Roman authority. With the acquisition of ever- expanding territory and the establishment of new provinces came opportunities for both outward mobility from the Roman heartland as well as immigration to Rome. Discussions of mobility within the Roman empire typ ...
