Different Genotypes of the Rare and Threatened Moss <i>Physcomitrium eurystomum</i> (Funariaceae) Exhibit Different Resilience to Zinc and Copper Stress by Djordje P. Božović, Marija V. Ćosić, Vladislav Kolarčik, Michal Goga, Claudio Varotto, Mingai Li, Aneta D. Sabovljević, Marko S. Sabovljević

“…The funarioid moss species <i>Physcomitrium eurystomum</i>, which is threatened with extinction, was the subject of this study. The riparian habitat type of this species is often under the influence of contaminated water, and, therefore, we tested the influence of selected potentially toxic elements (PTEs), namely zinc and copper, on the development, physiological features, and survival of the species on two different accessions (German and Croatian). …”

Aerosol layer height (ALH) retrievals from oxygen absorption bands: intercomparison and validation among different satellite platforms, GEMS, EPIC, and TROPOMI by H. Kim, H. Kim, X. Chen, X. Chen, J. Wang, J. Wang, J. Wang, J. Wang, Z. Lu, Z. Lu, Z. Lu, M. Zhou, G. R. Carmichael, G. R. Carmichael, S. S. Park, J. Kim

“…In this study, we evaluate ALH products retrieved using oxygen absorption measurements from multiple satellite platforms: the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) focusing on Asia, the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) in deep space, and the polar-orbiting TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI). We use the extinction-weighted aerosol optical centroid height (AOCH) derived from aerosol extinction profiles of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) as the ground truth. …”

Effect of climate change on potential distribution of Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soó in the twenty-first century across the north-western Himalayas by Dad Javaid M., Rashid Irfan

“…Although HPH shrinkage for D. hatagirea appears mild, but as it exhibits high habitat specificity and grows inherently slow, this insignificant shrinkage may enhance its risk of local extinction. Therefore, an integrated approach involving in-situ measures across regions, where the species may disappear, and ex-situ measures, where it may expand, is hugely important.…”
