Land Suitability Assessment for Apple (Malus domestica) Production in Sentele Watershed in Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia by Getachew Beyene, Nigussie Dechassa, Alemayehu Regasa, Lemma Wogi

“…The results imply that it is necessary to take improvement measures such as irrigation, species selection, removing leaves (defoliation), and appropriate land-use planning in most of the land of the watershed before investing in apple cultivation and production, and it is necessary to expand apple production in the future only in areas that are highly and moderately suitable for producing the crop in the study area.…”

The consequences of changes in forest land cover in the Alpine and Jurassic massifs on the physico-chemical status of deep lake waters by Van Tuan Nghiem, Rachid Nedjai, Nacer Nasreddine Messaoud

“…The difference in degree is often interpreted as the result of different combinations from three sources, namely acid rain, direct discharges of pollutants and the spread of forests (essentially conifer species). The first two sources have been confirmed, but the third is less perceptible due to slow progression of the phenomenon.Analysis and modelling of changes in land cover in the Hérisson river basin in the Jura mountains (largely carbonated soils) confirmed the direct impact of the forest cover on the physico-chemical quality of lake waters, in particular at the deeper levels (hypolimnion) over the past 30 years. …”

Characterizing the fecal microbiome in patients on the ketogenic diet for drug resistant epilepsy by Alexander Freibauer, Nikhil Pai, Rajesh RamachandranNair

“…Patients on the ketogenic diet also trended towards a higher relative abundance of Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Prevotellaceae species. A subset of the control group had a high relative abundance of Bifidobacterium, which may make them a candidate for a trial of the ketogenic diet as a therapeutic option. …”
