Evidence of slow millennial cliff retreat rates using cosmogenic nuclides in coastal colluvium by R. Bossis, R. Bossis, V. Regard, S. Carretier, S. Choy

“…The coastal retreat rate of the Peruvian site currently subject to wave action is similar to the Mediterranean coast (0.5 mm yr<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span>), despite Peru's more arid climate. The other two Peruvian sites, which have not been subjected to wave action for tens of thousands of years, are eroding 20 times more slowly. …”

Large-scale spatio-temporal variation in vital rates and population dynamics of an alpine bird by Nater, Chloé R., Frassinelli, Francesco, Martin, James A., Nilsen, Erlend B.

“…Slower life history patterns (higher survival, lower recruitment) appeared to be more common at higher latitudes and altitudes, portending differential effects of climate change on ptarmigan across their range. While there was variation in the magnitude of the effect small rodent occupancy had on recruitment, the relationships were predominantly positive and thus consistent with the alternative prey hypothesis. …”

Mangrove biomass productivity and sediment carbon storage assessment at selected sites in Mauritius: the effect of tidal inundation, forest age and mineral availability by M D D Doodee, S D D V Rughooputh, S Jawaheer

“…Carbon dioxide is the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas released in the environment and is considered as one of the main drivers of global warming and ensuing climate change. Mangals, recognised as key ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems, are amongst the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems and can sequester a considerable amount of carbon through biological carbon sequestration in their biomass and soils. …”

Biochar Application and Mowing Independently and Interactively Influence Soil Enzyme Activity and Carbon Sequestration in Karst and Red Soils in Southern China by Wenjia Luo, Daniel F. Petticord, Shiwen Zhu, Shaowu Zhu, Yuanlong Wu, Xun Yi, Xinyue Wang, Yili Guo, Xuxin Song

“…Soil organic carbon (SOC), a critical component of the global carbon cycle, represents the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, and is thus a major component of influencing climate regulation and ecosystem health. Grasslands store substantial carbon in their soils, but this carbon reservoir is easily degraded by both grazing and mowing, particularly in vulnerable karst landscapes. …”

Irfan Ashraf, Abdulrahman Alasmari, Md Sabir Ahmed Mondol, Gholamreza Abdi

“…ResultsIn this experiment, bitter gourd seeds were sowed either without treatment or with hydropriming, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, and 0.05% chitosan, respectively, under 50mM soil salinity under the climatic conditions of Lahore. This research was designed to find the role of chitosan in inducing salt stress tolerance in bitter gourd plants and also find the best chitosan dose that is useful for higher salinity conditions. …”
