SETTLEMENTS AND TOPONOMY IN THE PĂTÂRLAGELE DEPRESSION: THE PĂNĂTĂU AND SIBICIU LOCALITIES by NICOLAE MUICĂ, DAVID TURNOCK

“…Un intérêt particulier est accordé à la toponymie présente dans les cartes à grande échelle et les textes clés (notamment le dictionnaire de Iorgulescu de 1892) à laquelle on ajoute le témoignage oral très riche. Les auteurs prêtent attention aussi bien aux terrasses qu’aux surfaces affectées par des glissements adjacents, puisque ces dernières ont été bien attrayantes aux pionniers de l’agriculture, à cause de leur fertilité et humidité, dans un temps que les terrasses étaient utilisées presque exclusivement pour une économie de marché.Quelques surfaces utilisées aujourd’hui pour le foin, pour les pâturages et les vergers de prunes étaient bien cultivées, alors que les terrains à fonction céréalière acquis dans la plaine du Bărăgan, par la réforme agraire de 1923 se sont diversifiés du point de vue économique d’une manière accélérée après 1945. …”

Nitrogen and water additions with or without mowing altered soil microbial community characteristics in a semi-arid steppe by Hao Liu, Feirong Ren, Shiqiang Wan, Shijie Han, Junqiang Zheng

“…Results Nitrogen addition had negative effects on the richness of bacterial and fungal communties, significantly changed their structures (P < 0.05) and increased their dissimilarities (P < 0.05), while water addition had positive effects on fungal and protist communities and significantly stimulated the α-diversity of protist communities under N addition without clipping, which was in contrast to the effect in clipped plots. …”

Ecological analysis of the fish trematode fauna of the Lower Kura by Y.V. Shakaraliyeva

“…In the lower section of the Lower Kura, 37 species were found, of which 12 complete their development in fish-eating birds. This comparative richness of trematode fauna of lower section is due to the fact that it contains many more species of fish than other sites; the current speed is much lower and this promotes the development of mollusks - the first intermediate hosts of trematodes; there are a large number of fish-eating birds - the definitive hosts of many species of fish trematodes; the current carries here infected intermediate hosts and trematode cercariae from more upper sections; only here marine fish species were examined and marine trematodes were discovered; only here the lamprey was studied and one of its characteristic trematodes was faund. …”
