Effect of Storage Conditions and Storage Periods on Seed Germination in Eleven Populations of Swertia chirayita: A Critically Endangered Medicinal Herb in Himalaya by Bharat K. Pradhan, Hemant K. Badola

“…Effect of different storage conditions (room temperature, 4°C, and −15°C) and different storage periods over 24 months on seed germination in Swertia chirayita collected from different altitudes in Sikkim Himalaya was determined. Multivariate ANOVA revealed significant (𝑃<0.0001) effect of storage condition and storage period on seed germination and mean germination time. …”

Prevalence and size variation of feather mite, Analges slovakiensis Dabert, Mironov & Janiga, 2018, on the host Alpine accentor, Prunella collaris (Scopoli, 1769) by M. Janiga, N. Marčanová, Z. Kompišová Ballová

“…Morphophysiological plasticity combined with population dynamics allows the mites to survive effectively on hosts living at high altitudes in the mountains. The results also suggest that A. slovakiensis spreads through vertical transmission, as it radiates and increases in size during breeding season.…”

A Multiyear Record of Rainfall and Ionic Composition along an Elevation Gradient in Northeastern Puerto Rico by Elvis Torres-Delgado, Grizelle González, Ernesto Medina, María M. Rivera

“…Finally, the annual loads (kg ha−1 y−1) first increased for all of the species, except PO43– and K+, from the lowland to the cloud formation levels (by 47–121%) and then decreased for all of them, except PO43– and NO3−, at the altitudes above.…”

FloorLoc-SL: Floor Localization System with Fingerprint Self-Learning Mechanism by Kornkanok Khaoampai, Kulit Na Nakorn, Kultida Rojviboonchai

“…Many indoor localization systems have been proposed but most of them are developed over single-floor scenario only. The dimension of altitudes in localization results will be missed. In this paper, we propose floor localization system. …”

Drive for Commercial Desertification in Mountain Areas: Evidence from the Province of Sondrio (Italy), 2010–2022 by Antonietta Clerici Maria

“…What emerges is a progressive commercial rarefaction that plays a role in reshaping the relationship between the populations of builtup areas at different altitudes and leads to a sharp increase in instances of under-provision and commercial desertification in the strict sense. …”

Multilayered Sporadic‐E Response to the Annular Solar Eclipse on June 21, 2020 by Jin Wang, Xiaomin Zuo, Yang‐Yi Sun, Tao Yu, Yungang Wang, Lihui Qiu, Tian Mao, XiangXiang Yan, Na Yang, Yifan qi, Jiuhou Lei, Lingfeng Sun, Biqiang Zhao

“…The echoes show not only the variations in the typical signal Es layer below 130 km, but for the first time also the multilayered Es at much higher altitudes (130–190 km) during the eclipse. Specifically, the multilayered Es is only observed over Nanning, while different Es behaviors are observed in the other two stations. …”

Effects of mesoscale gravity waves on sporadic E simulated by a one-dimensional dynamic model by Xu Zhou, ZeZhong Li, XinAn Yue, LiBo Liu

“…Driven by the wind fields resolved by the high-resolution version of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere extension (WACCM-X), the MISE-1D simulation revealed that GWs significantly influence the evolution of the Es layer above 100 km but have a very limited effect at lower altitudes. The effects of GWs are diverse and complex, generally including the generation of fluctuating wavelike structures on the Es layer with frequencies similar to those of the GWs. …”

Double Coherent Scatter Radars Observations of the Daytime F‐Region Irregularities in Low‐Latitudes on 29 May 2017 by Pengfei Hu, Gang Chen, Guozhu Li, Chunxiao Yan, Shaodong Zhang, Guotao Yang, Yaxian Li, Zhiqiu He, Wei Jia, Min Zhang

“…The Sanya VHF radar recorded the FAIs between 00:12 and 02:42 UT (07:12 and 09:42 LT), and the FAIs observed by the HCOPAR appeared more than 10 min later at lower altitudes and suffered severe dissipation. The echoes emerged in all the beams simultaneously, and their Doppler velocities were close to zero, implying that the daytime FAIs were traveling along the magnetic field lines downward and northward with almost no zonal velocity. …”

Scattering and Doppler Spectral Analysis for a Fast-Moving Target above Time-Varying Lossy Dielectric Sea Surface by Ke Li, Lixin Guo, Juan Li

“…The numerical simulations of the Doppler spectrum from the fast-moving target above time-varying lossy dielectric sea surface are obtained, and the Doppler spectra of backscattered signals from this model are discussed for different incident angles, speed of flying target, wind speeds, incident frequencies, and target altitudes in detail. Finally, the coupling effects on Doppler spectra are analyzed. …”

Were there any tells in the Coţofeni culture area? by Cristian Ioan Popa

“…The so-called tell settlements are also discussed and the term pseudo-tell is proposed. Sites at very high altitudes (over 1000 m) or others related to salt exploitation have generated complex stratigraphies, consisting of successive Coţofeni levels, but completely different from the types of sediments that led to the formation of “classic” tells from the lowlands. …”

Climate change will affect hydrological regimes in the Alps by Gabriele Confortola, Andrea Soncini, Daniele Bocchiola

“…We then use downscaled future temperature and precipitation from two general circulation models GCMs to feed the hydrological model and obtain projected hydrological regimes, at flow sections at different altitudes within the catchment. The scenarios and storylines from the adopted GCMs differ from one another with respect to projected precipitation and temperature amount, but agree upon decrease of the former and increase of the latter. …”
