LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN POLAND by Monika Król

“…A call to integrate the objectives of environmental protection, especially biodiversity and agricultural activities can be seen in many acts e.g. which include: emission law, regulation relating to the strenuous and dangerous activities, protection and use of recourses of the biosphere. In conclusions it is important to underline the role of agriculture to the environment. …”

Azolla Plant Production and Their Potential Applications by Gamachis Korsa, Digafe Alemu, Abate Ayele

“…In the modern world, lifestyle changes, the nature of work, and food habits increase the incidence of serious diseases in animals, and human activity influences the environment, such as the use of chemical fertilizers for agriculture, large terrestrial ecosystems all over the biosphere, such as deforestation of plants, which could not sink from atmospheric CO2, and the production of fuels for energy, which would increase the need for fossil fuels but would also deliver low energy fuels at a high energy cost. …”

Temporal variation in habitat quality shapes the distribution–abundance relationship in waterbirds at landscape scale by Constantinos Charalambous, Petr Musil, Mathilde Legoguelin, Zuzana Musilová, David Hořák

“…Here, we examine the DAR at the landscape level in a unique but overlooked model system, that is, a waterbird assemblage inhabiting fishponds within the Třeboňsko Basin Biosphere Reserve, Czechia. Using 12 years of biannual census data across 134 intensively managed fishponds, collected in May and July, we describe variation in the slope of the DAR, expressed as the association between bird density and fishpond occupancy. …”

Detecting centennial changes in the clarity and colour of the Red and Eastern Mediterranean Seas by retracing the “Pola” expeditions by Jonathan R. Heath, Robert J. W. Brewin, Jaime Pitarch, Dionysios E. Raitsos

“…Studying the dominant primary producers of most marine ecosystems, phytoplankton, and their response to these alterations is challenging, yet essential due to the critical role phytoplankton play in both the oceans and wider biosphere. Satellites are a crucial tool used to study phytoplankton but lack the timespan needed to accurately observe abundance patterns in response to climate change. …”

Sensitivity of Dynamical Downscaling Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts to Convection and Land Surface Parameterization in a High-Resolution Regional Climate Model by Yuan Li, Guihua Lu, Hai He, Zhiyong Wu

“…In this study, the sensitivity of dynamical downscaling seasonal precipitation forecasts to convection and land surface parameterization was investigated by nesting the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model into the NCEP’s Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) retrospective forecasts with four convective schemes: Kain–Fritsch (KF), Betts–Miller–Janjic (BMJ), Grell–Freitas (GF), and new simplified Arakawa–Schubert (NSAS) schemes, and two land surface schemes: Noah and simplified Simple Biosphere (SSiB) schemes over the Han River basin. …”
