Impact of the grazing ban on the forest soil nutrient dynamics in the Sikkim Himalaya, India by Ghanashyam Sharma, Bharat K. Pradhan, Prakash Chhetri

“…Soil nutrient analyses were conducted on samples from four study sites at two depths (0–15 cm and 15–30 cm) during rainy and winter seasons. The treatments were (1) current grazing forests (CGFs; areas where herders graze their animals), (2) old grazed forests (OGFs; grazing was prevalent before the ban on grazing), (3) ungrazed forests (UGFs; not impacted by livestock grazing), and (4) abandoned Kharkas (AKs; open-grazing pastures). …”

The Characteristics of PM2.5 Pollution Episodes during 2016–2019 in Sichuan Basin, China by Xiaodong Wu, Guangming Shi, Xing Xiang, Fumo Yang

“…We found that the characteristics of the temporal and spatial distribution of the episode numbers and durations were similar to the annual average of PM2.5 concentrations, which were higher in the Southern Sichuan and Western Sichuan Plain spatially and occurred most frequently in winter, followed by spring, autumn and summer. Non-monotonical relationships were obtained between the PM2.5 concentrations and pollution durations and there was a duration threshold in each city. …”

From ecological to anthropogenic factors: unraveling the drivers of blue crab Callinectes sapidus occurrence along the Mediterranean coasts by Anna Gavioli, Giuseppe Castaldelli, David B. Eggleston, Robert R. Christian

“…., water depth and coastal wetlands extension), water physical variables (i.e., salinity and winter and summer water temperature), water quality variables (i.e., chlorophyll-a, nitrate and orthophosphate) and anthropogenic factors (i.e., ship density and population size) potentially affecting the blue crab occurrence along the coast.ResultsOur results showed that nitrate, as an indicator of riverine nutrient loading, and water depth, as an indicator of slope of the bottom, were the most influential variables in explaining the occurrences of blue crabs. …”
