A Spatial–Temporal Difference Aggregation Network for Gaofen-2 Multitemporal Image in Cropland Change Area by Chuang Liu, Liyang Bao, Zhiqi Zhang

“…Nonetheless, in contrast to the building change detection, the growth characteristics of crops in cropland areas exhibit significant variations in accordance with different seasonal climates and light intensities. Furthermore, the serious imbalance between the cropland change area and the nonchange area makes it difficult to focus on the real change area in the cropland under these interferences. …”

Short-term impact of low air pressure on plants' functional traits. by Silvia Lembo, Georg Niedrist, Bouchra El Omari, Paul Illmer, Nadine Praeg, Andreas Meul, Matteo Dainese

“…Using the terraXcube Ecotron facility which can simulate different climatic conditions, we isolated the effect of air pressure from those of other, related environmental factors (temperature, humidity, and solar radiation) by simulating three different elevations with corresponding air pressures: 1,500 m a.s.l. (85 kPa, control scenario), 2,500 m a.s.l. (75 kPa), and 4,000 m a.s.l. (62 kPa) and we used two different water regimes to observe the combined effect of low air pressure and the impact of varying water inputs on plants. …”

The problem of conservation of gene pools of domesticated animals by Yu. A. Stolpovskiy, I. A. Zakharov-Gezekhus

“…The arguments in favor of preserving local breeds are: 1) economic factors, such as moderation of quality requirements for food products, moderation of hygienic and climatic conditions (new types of diseases, vaccines, changes in the external environment), necessity to keep a reserve for successful breeding, opportunity to use local breeds in harsh environmental conditions; 2) scientific factors, in particular, possibility of studying the gene pool of local breeds in order to reconstruct the evolution of domesticated species (exploring local breeds can reveal the mechanisms of the evolutionary processes, ontogeny, behavior patterns, natural and artificial selection); 3) cultural and historical factors related to the fact that native breeds represent living monuments of traditional culture of the population. …”
